I don't know if I prefer some of those versions... SB is an acceptable album anyway... except for a big thing... they simply destroyed the mirror waters and stonegarden... there're some live versions of these songs with anneke but with original doom-metal music arrangements, and it sounded great to me.... but sb versions are horrible.
ok.. it was a semi acoustic album, that's true... but I had preferred they were not including these songs then... since when they played them in their later concerts, they used sb version
... this way the whole essence of "Always" got lost definitively.... that power and darkness are not there anymore....
whatever...
