On the subject of Cheap Trick The Latest and Digipaks themselves.
What do you mean about digipaks? The new Cheap Trick is out in stores and it's not on a CD-R
Begeland from twitter.
This
actually came from a rant about me and I didn't bother to check the
inbox till I was fucking around Twitter and wanted to see what was in
there.
Digipaks are the crappy assed alternatives to jewel
cases and most of the new albums are stored in digipaks. Pearl Jam has
all of their albums on Digipaks and new releases from the likes of Steve
Earle, Neil Young and The Meat Puppets all came out on this format.
Likewise the new Cheap Trick that was selling for 8 bucks at Best Buy
this week.
At this point in life I'm cutting back on releases
that are on digipaks rather than jewel cases. People bitch about jewel
cases too but at least I can get them open on the highway without trying
to twist a digipak to cough out the album or get a five inch paper cut
trying to open them. I'm still pissed off about Neil Young going green
with Fork In The Road but I did promise that I'd buy it. Digipaks are
piss poor storage units that scratch up the cd worse than jewel cases
and they get dusty more often (case in point, the RUSH digipaks). Tea
Leaf Green made a three cd box set and put it in one of the worst made
digipaks that i've ever seen and I almost crashed my car trying to stick
the damn Cd back in the small slit we call the storage area.
I think Begeland misread the rant for I never mentioned anything about CD This is the original blog....
I
do not like digipaks which is why I didn't buy the new Cheap Trick
album. Going to get more picky in the future. Digipaks Suck!
