so i wake up extra early today to pick up "with teeth" before i head to class. as it turned out by the time i
got there, all the standard editions were indeed sold out. luckily i bitched enough so that one of the workers fetched
me one from the back, cause i didnt want that dualdisc trash.
being as excited as i was, i rushed out and opened it before driving off. and wow... the packaging was pretty shitty. i
mean not that it matters but, the least he could have given us was a manual with lyrics, and possibly, credit your own
damn band!?! yes indeed, the cd comes with no credits, lyrics, or nothing. well of course he prints his own name on
the damn thing because he is TRENT REZNOR! oh and dont expect any artwork in here. first thing that my eyes saw when i
opened the trifold flimsy paper case was ...wow.... a picture of trent reznor. from my knowledge, i dont tihnk he ever
put a picture of his ugly self in one of his cds before (not counting that barely recognizable pic in PHM). not that
any of this mattered really at this point, because music is music. and what really counts is what is on the cd right?
well....that was until i got home and checked their website.
now....so it seems, that yes there is credits, artwork, and lyrics. but its on the web.....
so basically, your telling me that i pay for the darn cd but i have to use my own ink, paper, and time to print it out?
oh and also i have to register for your cruddy site to have access to it. and hell, its not even in a convenient size.
the darn thing is one picture in poster format. oooo.....spiffy!! haha ok, ill give him credit for a unique idea.
stupid yes, but maybe thats why nobody has done it! but really trent, do you really think that people will think its
"cool" that they can print it themselves and gee, have computers that can handle opening a picture that is
10800x14400 and printers with paper that is 3ftx4ft? seriously, i dont get, why they didnt just include a such poster
with the damn cd that i bought!?!
anyways, in all seriousness, from previously listening to the CD already, hands down its their worst album to date. so
what does that all mean and why did such a bitchy fan buy the cd in the first place? cause in terms of comparing this
NIN cd to their past works, its horrible. if you compare it to most of the trash that is out today, it still blows it
away. so overall, its a pretty solid album which i wish had some better packaging, thats the least you could give me
when i pay 12 bucks in a time where i could have just easily DLed it off the web for free.
ah....so pretty much, what did others think of the cd?
