Regardless of the pedestrian content, I have to have this because I bought all of the other ones! I waited a bit too long on Songs From The Wood and had to do a "Search for the Holy Grail" in order to find it at a reasonable price. (Ditto with the Oppo 205, but you wouldn't know anything about that now...right Clint?)
Unfortunately, I am with you in that catergorie. Many of us our audiophiles, why? because we love listening to music, but many of us also become hobbyists and collectors. I know in advance without even hearing This Was it will not be a great one for me, but as a collector I have to admit I love everything about these Tull releases, Steven Wilson, the size of the package, the way it is put together, the information, the large amount of audio selections, a very well deserved franchise of music. On the other hand I am starting to limit my choices like my brother Clint. So now I listen on Tidal streaming first when everybody on QQ is happy about a release that I am not familiar with and make a decision. For instance I am not getting the new Moody Blues surround release.
