Yes Magnification
Best album they have done since Going for the One back in 1977. The keyboards have been replaced with a full symphony orchestra. There is a very nice blend between the band and the orchestra. Jon's voice has never been stronger with excellant harmonies, great bass work by Chris, and the usual perfection on guitar by Steve. Highly recomended to anyone who wants to hear some intelligent, well played music.

Yes, its a must have, and I wouldn't wait to use a coupon. Its that good.
Depending where you buy it, you get a bonus disc. A Best Buy purchase gets a live version of Ritual, Borders gets a live version of Close to the Edge, and FYI gets you Gates. All three are from last years Masterworks tour.
I wish they had continued their plans to release a dvd audio the same day as the cd, but we will have to wait on that. It should come out sometime next year, along with a dvd of the Symphonic tour filmed in Amsterdam.

oooh.... now I'm interested. This is a bonus disc with just the tracks you mentioned? Or is there more?
And since my order is with Amazon, do you think it's possible that I will end up with the BORDERS version with CTTE? That would be my choice anyway...or are these bonus discs only at B&M stores???

They also have a remix of Long Distance Runaround, the same version that was on the cd sold at the concerts. In case you weren't there, it is from The Ladder tour with an orchestra mixed in.
As far as whether or not you will get the bonus disc, I'm not sure. I have heard from people that have gotten it, and some that haven't. If you don't try taking the disc to a local Borders and see if they will exchange it.

The dvd audio of Magnfication has now been scheduled for release on May 28th, as well as one of their classic Close to the Edge. Both are to be released by Rhino, and should have bonus material as well.
A dvd of the recent Symphonic tour maybe released as early as March 18th.
