sounds cool. However, I dont believe anything released in the 90's or 2000's really needs to be remastered, with the exception of those occasional albums that were produced with a low budget and are in dire need of remastering.

As for the live tracks, they sound interesting enough to check out. You dont hear that much live Fates Warning.

There is a fair amount of difference in the sound...it's louder and fuller, IMO...but yeah, Parallels already sounded good...now it's just gooder.

Plus, if you're going to do a legacy edition like this, remastering is standard to bring up to modern volume and EQ specs...the album is 19 years old.

Classic album. This is probably my favorite disc with Alder. Still need to get the new version though.
