Must Own Definitve Version Of This Album

"I used to be a HUGE PVD fan, but haven't really been able to get into his last 2 albums "Reflections" & "In Between". He's just gotten to be a little too poppy & mainstream for my taste. So when I saw that they'd released a 2 disc "Limited Double Edition" I was more than a little skeptical. Don't get me wrong, "In Between" wasn't horrible; you just had to sit through 5-6 tracks before the album really got going.
I must say after listening to the 2nd disc from this release I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. The 2nd disc to this special edition really makes up for any short comings on the 1st disc. On the 2nd disc you get 2 remixes of "White Lies" (why that track got so much attention, I have no idea; I think I'd rather listen to finger nails running down a chalkboard, not something I want to hear on a PVD album), & 6 other previously unreleased (to the best of my knowledge)tracks. These 6 tracks are worth the price of the double disc album alone. Why these weren't included on the original release I'll never know. Any one of these 6 FAR surpass any of the tracks on disc one (the original release) & make me remember why it is that I fell in love with PVD's music in the 1st place so many years ago. The best of the 6 are "Torn", "World In My Eyes", & especially "Hours"; but all are good.
I would strongly recommend any self respecting PVD fan to pick up this double disc edition of "In Between". Whether you loved the original version or if you're like me left feeling a bit underwhelmed by his last couple albums you'll love the 2nd disc. I already owned the original & still picked this one up, you should do the same. You'll love it!!!"
