It's close enough for me personally. If it weren't for the release of RAINBOW and the reworked A Song for XX, A BALLADS would have been a total bore to me -_-; A BEST 2 -BLACK- song arrangements may have varied, but the dark/emotional undertone of all of the songs was the best thing about it. Much better than a compilation of a bunch of slow songs *yawn*. But to each his own
