**damn typos
WT's okay..I'll buy the reissued version

[Leper Affinity]

YEAH! WT Rocks HARD!

[Mihyaeru]

ah ive already got this album....re-issues can be soo annoying wen u already own the album and mine has bonus tracks on ne way so blah

[tbarrettl]

Kool, though I don't see the live tracks as an improvement over the original in value.

[bokuho]

It's pretty much the exact same release they already put out over here the first time they re-issued it. Unless it's NEW live cuts of those four tracks, but even if it was, that's still not worth buying the album again for since they've put so many other live tracks out as B-sides and stuff + their live dvds - and WT are great live but they don't variate their shows enough to warrent buying up every live recording they put out.

[I,Voyager]

Really good, saw them with Lacuna Coil. Sharon had a problem with her voice a few songs in, but it was obvious she was giving it her all to push through the set, and the last few songs came out sounding great.

They're playing again near me in a little bit =D

Checked

Meh, I think the bonus material ón the first reissue was better, as it was live versions of songs from earlier albums and not from mother earth. WT are a very good band though, musically I think this is their best album even if I like Sharon's vocal style better on the silent force.

Wasn't Mother Earth their first album? It's released in 2000, and with those songs they became popular in the Netherlands.

[Fmc]

No it wasn't the first.

Enter 1997
The Dance 1998
Mother Earth 2000
The Silent Force 2004
The Heart of Everything 2007

[bokuho]

Mother Earth was their first ALBUM. Enter and The Dance were EPs.

[Aziraphale]

Enter is what, 11 songs long? I think that qualifies it as an album, even if it didn't sell very well.

ive seen them live before and the couple songs they play are awesome then if you actually pay attention to her, youll notice as shes singing she pulls from the mike and you can still hear her singing.im only letting you guys know that so you dont have to waste your money and a lypsincing rock act.their musics great,but i lost a little respect for her considering some of the parts shes not singing when shes live
