RE-PROGRAMMING! WHAT A CONCEPT!!

I agree w/ the review above that the programming of this album somewhat impedes, rather than enhances, the full enjoyment of it, at least as far as providing an overview of the band's history thru live performances(over an 8-year span which saw quite a few changes)goes. That's why I RE-PROGRAMMED it onto a CD(this can be done for a iTunes playlist, as well)which flows in chronological order, w/ the trax from each line-up grouped together, & more linear opportunities for comparison & contrast allowed for thereby. This takes a bit of time &
doing, but then anyone w/ some knowledge of the band's history(or who has read the liner notes)can better know who they're listening to,
even w/o the notes at hand, & this has proven to be(for me, anyway)a listening experience which is enjoyable, interesting & occasionally, even relevatory.
