Comments: This is the European release of Crunch, which also includes Impellitteri's 6th release Screaming Symphony.  I'd heartily recommend this to anyone looking to try out Impellitteri since it is a lot easier to find for an affordable price than the far east imports, and it features my top 2 favorite Impellitteri albums to date at a bargain price.  Also, in a rare marketing strategy (which I hate), it has one track on Crunch - "Freak Show" - which is not on the Japanese or Korean versions, and those versions likewise have 2 tracks that are not on this release.  It also has different cover art for Crunch.
