Here we go, a vinyl re-release with six discs of sessions ......
To be fair, if there is an album which could do with a re-release, that is it, I think: with re-release meaning: re-mix it properly, make a better tracklist selection (which includes A Boy I Never Knew and Please Come Home), perhaps even better cover art etc...

I would rather go with "Wild Mood Swings" concerning this approach and I remember Robert was talking about to maybe remix the record (WMS) and tweak the tracklist as part of the Deluxe Edition a while ago. But yes I know Robert says a lot of things....
Personally I think the songwriting is not that good on the self titled. I actually think it is better on 4:13 Dream in comparision.

I agree that WMS has better songwriting.
Not sure how to rank the eponymous compared to 4:13 Dream, they are both mediocre to me. But I think the 2004 album has a few more exceptions (meaning: very good songs) than the 2008 album.
E.g. - Labyrinth (bad mixing, but I like the song) - Going Nowhere (a little gem) Please Come Home (pity it didn't make it beyond demo) - A Boy I Never Knew (better in the studio demo with keyboards than in the live version they did later on in 2008 with the keyboardless line-up). - It Can Never Be The Same (if I'm not mistaken, it was written back then)
Some decent ones, e.g. Before Three, Truth, Goodness & Beauty...
Of the 2008 album I only save 3 songs, really:
- Underneath The Stars - The Hungry Ghost - Switch (quite underrated)
But, you know, de gustibus non disputandum and all that jazz... :-)
