Agreed that it's not nearly as bad as 'Giants' and others, but it could have used a steady hand and some editing. Some potentially great tracks go on and on and on.
'All Around The World' seems like a thousand minutes long.
And, it's reprised!
To give them their credit, it's rare that a rarities/B-sides collection by a band is truly great, and 'Masterplan' certainly qualifies.
