Unless I see it at FYE I think I'd rather pick up one of the actual albums.

Still, the damn European cds are always nicer and are certainly worth paying the excessive amount of shipping I have to pay.

I always have to pay the shipping to my P.O. box in the US, and then through a private company the shipping to Costa Rica.

Damn Costa Rican mail can't be trusted for imports

Same here, except for the self titled one. But I'll probably still end up buying this anyway for the hell of it.

I might have considered it with a stronger track list, but it's very heavy on newer material- there are as many songs from Origin as there are from the entire Garm era. Also, only two from Quintessence, and one from Epic. I partly just think the newest stuff needs remastering the least, but it's just such an imbalanced mix.

The artwork is pretty though... I don't know, we need some B-sides or rare covers or something.

So do you already have it? If so, pics, pics!

I'll still buy it anyhow, just for the re-mastered versions of Quintessence.

And yeah, a disc full of B-Sides would be nice, maybe they'll release one with the new label

So will this ever be available in Europe in the near future?

The European website of Century Media doesn't even have a mailorder.. and it doesn't say anything about "For The Elements". Is it a North American-only release???

^ I thought you had the cd already so I was asking you to post pics of the booklet.

I'm considering buying this... I just really want to hear it first to see if there's much of a difference.
