It kind of is though. Especially wrapped up in the 'concept'. The music on it is spectacular, and I would say despite Archandroid having the stronger 'hits' this one is better composed. But ultimately after three years, while I appreciate the refinement there's a desire that she go somewhere with it. I mean even the whole story line is seemingly in the exact same place.

I'd even call it the bonus DVD ore than a part 2.

I think that's enough for some to call it trash, and I can't really say that I blame them even if I do enjoy it.
