It's now on the American Amazon but under Dark Tranquility instead of the real spelling...and it's very expensive.

Just got it today! The new tracks are awesome, and should have been on the album to begin with! My question is though...if the band had their way in the beginning and these four bonus songs were on the album, how would the tracklist have run then? Where would these four bonus cuts go?

1.) No I don't think there are any legal mp3 sites that offer it yet. When I find one, I will let you know.
2.) They did it to make money.

It was explained in an interview somewhere that Japanese music distributing companies always demand bonus songs because CDs in Japan are more expensive and Japanese people would just import albums from other countries if there weren't any bonus songs on the Japanese versions.

Yes, it's how it works. There isn't really a choise; if bands want to have their albums licenced in Japan, they have to provide bonus songs - otherwise everyone will buy the imports and the local label has no incentive to bring the bands over for tours or to do any promotion.

Really like the four new songs, great stuff
I wish DT/CM would make an extended version of every DT cd
One thing that's probably a personal taste, the video from the Summerbrezze Festival
just has too much going on, it seems ever shot lasts about a second, total chaos
the producer has more video of the crowd than DT,
during 'the Endless Feed' they(the producers) are fixated(with cameras) on some concert goer in his underwear
the video from BangYourHead Festival is what a live video should be, aces
kudos go out to e-m-s news media AG for a job well done
on the booklet for the Expanded it has Live at the Gods of Metal Festival, the Wonders at Your Feet
it's not listed on the back cover, can't find it on the DVD disc,
maybe its not included or could it be a hidden track?

Silence in the House of Tongues is a short instrumental. It is has a dirge-like quality, a slow, methodical, plodding pace and somewhat dissonant riffing. I didn't really like it at first but it grew on me.
Below the Radiance is a fantastic song, it really fits the Fiction template, with a lot of time changes, very heavy breaks, nice touches of keyboards here and there, and a dual guitar harmony remiscient of the Gallery but the bass/keyboard style of Fiction in the middle.

I really like the lyrics to Below the Radiance. It seems a lot more openly personal than the rest of their songs. I find it quite relatable.
I tried cmdistro.com, but I was disappointed to learn that they don't ship outside the USA and Canada.
