It can be a good studioalbum though...
But I it sounds quite pointless.
When I bought Palace Springs I couldn't believe I'd bought the live album PS
 - I thought that it maybe existed two albums with similar titles, of which
one was a studio recording and one was a live (hey, you can never know with HW)
Well, hawkjoe told me I was wrong - that PS actually is a live album.
But I still don't listen to it as a live album. I don't get the right feeling.
(Some of the tracks is pure studio, isn't they?).
I consider this to be false marketing... but at the same time I can't see
anything wrong with a studioalbum which contains some livetracks among the
others a la High Rise and so on. It just proofs that the band rocks outside
of the studiowalls.
You know, studio is ugly and live is beautiful... (I'll guess that's a
rather reactionary point of view :-)

But of course I'll buy 1999 no matter what. :-)
