but it´s still worth buying if you find the deluxe edition....the making off dvd on itself is well worth the price.....it has a making off video for each song, a videoclip for "someone´s in the wolf" that is as weird as the song itself :P and a faux interview were josh explains part of the creative process..
as for the album itself....a great album no doubt...what i love about this band is that no 2 albums are alike...they all rock in diferent ways....and at least i can´t pick a favourite...it varies from mood to mood...
the lack of oliveri means the album doesn´t have the scream fests like 6 shooter but it makes up for it with songs like "i never came" and "you´ve got a killer scene"...not to mention "someone´s in the wolf"....a song that i´ve best seen described as "a fairy tale gone wrong! " ~D
can´t wait to see these guys live.
Hahah, and i thought i was the only one who loved the scream fests ~:joker:Quote:

Lullaby had a kind of haunting quality which i liked, but i didn't find one to surpass the other two.
Then again, those are two hard tracks to better...

It's awesome. First CD is his acoustic set, then goes electric.
I love some guy yelling "Judas!", then Bob argues with him for a bit. ~D
As for book and DVD, not sure. ~;)
i loved it, ive been going on about it for weeks now, but im reading one hundred years of solitude by gabriel garcia marquez now.
you didn't like it because you didn't understand it, like people who say conrad was a racist, he wasn't a racist its just because they didn't understand why he wrote the heart of darkness
