I would have loved to have seen Ode to No One, but nevertheless, those SP songs should be great. I'm looking forward to DL'ing them (whenever I get WT >.<) _________________

You guys should bold the songs that are coming out and make the fluff at the bottom a font size smaller. Formatting is a good thing! That wall of text makes me dizzy.
Either way more World Tour songs can't be a bad thing. And free reggae songs are awesome as well! _________________
