odissey limeited edition

[Malta]

Hey can somebody tell me if the only difference to the normal version is masquerade????

 

[The Yngster]

Better packaging, more pages in the book.

 

[MorphineChild205]

There's a section in the booklet where the band members (mostly Romeo and Allen) describe each song. I believe it's only in the limited edition.

theres better packaging and more pages?? dammit! i actually chose to get the reg version because i dont like the masquerade song. but i didnt know there was all that other stuff too!! who can i give this version to as a pressie so i can go buy the limited edition now.

 

[Ellfish]

Ooh! Me me me! Pick me!

I got the limited edition. I'll post the Linernotes if you want, but I'l do it later.. it will take a long time. Mabey on the weekend when I have more time.

 

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

makes me glad i got the limited edition

I had the same dilema when i bought Odyssey. I asked the dude at the counter what the diff was and he said the bonus track and the outer case sleeve. The price diff was like $5.

 

[The Yngster]

When it first came out there was a 1 dollar difference on Metal Ages, so i ordered the limited edition but it was sold out, and I was way too impatient to wait for the limited to come back in, so i ordered the regular.

 

[OrestesMantra]

Its really kickin rad. In the notes, the band describes how each song was put together, how it was inspired, and what that wanted to accomplish. Not to mention a cool bonus song.

 

[Episteme]

It was the only one left and I had to get it. The linear notes are cool and the bonus track is awesome.

 

[crapola]

i had no choice... the limited edition is the one that was ordered for me so thats the one i got

My version doesn't have better packaging, unless by better packaging you mean an extra cardboard slip over the jewelcase that I threw out anyway . But yeah, theres some extra photos from the studio and track by track commentary in the liners, and the artwork on the actual CD is a little different. Is it worth shelling out more money if you already have the normal one and you don't like Masquerade? Probably not, unless you're a collector I guess. I remember for a while all I saw in stores was the limited edition but I guess they're running out of those now.

There's also a japanese version of The Odyssey, which contains an unreleased track on regular editions, "Frontiers".
