Yeah...I noticed that the day I first posted about it. Never looked that closely before, I guess. Odd, because I've always loved the cd. "Say You" is a great melody - even if it is shameless pop. From "Edit the Dragon" onward, I can't break the sequence. "Arena II" still gives me chills. Dated? Yes - especially in the 1st part of the album, but it weathers better that a lot from that era. Given the cut and paste job they did with ETD, it seems like they'd have to be up to something good these days. Too bad.
