    I think this glossy version of the digipak and the booklet looks better than the matte version, where the whole album art is a bit too dark. Remaster is beautiful. 5 out of 5.

      This remastered edition sounds strange. I have been of the opinion that remastering by default meant an improvement, but this album has been one that has shown me that, sadly, this is not always the case :-(
