Very rarely do I buy a remixed or extended album. I did not enjoy Unified... and I don't know why. After lisening to this album, I realized that Unified felt a little chopped up. These extended mixes give the listner more time to enjoy each track. It feels more like a studio album rather than Unified (the un extended mixes) radio edits (or at least how I felt about them). This is quite a departure from their last album, Empire, and they are taking a cue from Above and Beyond and doing primarily vocal.
