Enhanced version adds almost nothing

"I like the music, but save money and buy the normal version of this CD. No additional songs are recorded on the enhanced CD. The only additional track (Hero/Heroine Acoustic) is simply saved on the data portion of the CD at a relatively low bitrate (128 Kbps). Similarly, all the videos are saved as low resolution FLV files (exactly the same kind of file you get if you save the videos off of YouTube). You can put together the same stuff at a much lower price if you buy the normal version, save the videos off of YouTube, and buy the extra track off of your favorite digital music store."

Acoustic versions are sublime

"I haven't purchased this CD yet, but I've listened to every song on it and they're all good. The CD is on my wish list. This enhanced disk contains the AOL Under Cover acoustic versions of Great Escape, Thunder (first song Martin and Paul wrote together and a poignant ballad), and a cover of Frou Frou's Let Go. I like these acoustic versions better than the originals. The mix on them is excellent, Paul and Martin's voices blend beautifully, and the guitar playing is wonderful. Sure hope to find this in my Christmas stocking."
