      So forgive me for my ignorance since I’m fairly new to the whole Ghost thing (not *totally* new, I used to work at a rock radio station that played some of the stuff from Prequelle frequently), but someone please enlighten me: is it common for them to not have the title of the album on its artwork? Like, I’m staring at this new copy I got and trying to find it somewhere on here like I’m at Disney World searching for hidden Mickeys. Is it hidden? Is it just not there? I feel like it was the same with Prequelle too, though I never looked closely enough at that artwork to try and find the title. I know bands don’t necessarily HAVE to put their record names on the cover art, but I’m just trying to see if maybe they snuck it in somewhere and this is like a thing that they do.

        For some reason the Scandinavian version of Impera Extended Edition was €84.99 (now showing at €105.99 = $116.59) on Bengans while the US Release on Loma Vista is $169.99. For a superior version (as usual) you might as well import and save some money on it if you want it and live in the US. I got it for roughly $60.00 cheaper going the Bengans route with the original price point. Even with the small jump it would still save you $20.00-$30.00 - https://www.bengans.eu/en/artiklar/ghost-extended-impera-box-set-scandinavian-version.html

          Not as good as Prequelle but still a great album. My biggest problem is that mastering isn't as good either. Noticeably loud and compressed. No breathing room or separation between the instruments. It becomes fatiguing to listen to, especially with headphones.

                      Two fun facts:
                      The vinyl version of "Watcher in the Sky" is about 45 seconds shorter.
                      And I have a US + EU vinyl version and the quality of the EU booklet is much higher than the US version.
                      EU version heavy photo paper
                      US version normal paper
