Neurodeliri [Remastered] [Digipak] - Bulldozer

Advantages: Classic track 'Bulldozer' & 4 bonus tracks, good production job
Disadvantages: By far the worst Machine Head Album let down by weak lyrical content

They also decided to issue additional tracks, alternative takes and other versions which were not included on the final album. This is the 2006 deluxe SACD edition.
