Rarely do bonus tracks make an album better. Songs originally cut from a record were probably cut for a reason and are later added for the interest of serious collectors and mega fans. In this case, these acoustic bonus tracks really add something and bookend the record nicely. They compliment the acoustic intro to ‘From The Sun’. Sample and support here.
