I think I'd rather it had been a t-shirt
But then it'd be an album, and to do a full cover album is kinda lame.
Tbh, I know I'll never own every version and even I think that's pretty lame.The whole point of this thing was to allow fans that don't want or can't own all the different versions of the albums (most of us) to have all the covers, and have a little bonus too.

I like the idea and I'll definetaly buy it but ffs, its MORE EXPENSIVE than the real albums. For a 7" shitty looking reaper. lel
Am I the only one who is excited with the new ablum...? I think it will be a nice release, well not the most original thing to release a cover album but I like all their covers and I think it's a nice idea plus it has some unreleased stuff...Anyway I'm definately gonna buy it...!
And I don't say there can't be cover albums, but check e.g. Diabolus In Musica or whatever was the Slayer album that it's all punk covers plus Gemini.
