I almost got the remaster when i saw they had these. The sound quality of these Japanese smh or whatever you call it sounds so much better than the poopy remasters. Not only is the sound quality warm and real, but the music on here is brilliant. I used to hate synth Rush just as I hated Seventh son and somewhere in time by maiden. But this album is just pure magic. Every track is epic, yet simple. This album will touch your soul. By this today and stay away from the remasters. im buying strictly Japanese SmH cds from now on if I can.
