Rapture Packaging

[Insania]

Hey -- When I got the CD last year, I thought the CD case was cool -- sort of fold out with separate lyric sheet, but since it gets thrown in the truck, car, boat, etc., the thing isn't gonna last as long as I'd like. I do take care of my stuff, it's not like I abuse CDs.

Why this way rather than a jewel case? Anything I can do to keep it in shape?

the wrapping is a "digi-pak". it's sorta like a "collector's thing"... for AESTHETIC purposes. you are right tho... they don't last like jewel-cased CDs, but they sure look a helluva lot better!

 

[ms. anthrope]

i try not to handle my copy so much... why don't you keep it in a plastic sleeve of some sort? that's what the CD companies should come up with next if they haven't already.

 

[Insania]

Cool -- I've seen the word, but didn't know what it was. I don't have any other digi-paks, am I not spending enough on metal music?

I'll have to take care of it like my vinyl stuff. I still have my early metallica, testament, metal church et al. Someday the CD will be obsolete, too.

When's the next DL show, Ms. Anthrope? I see Exodus is on Friday the 13th next month. Don't know about Technocracy -- that is, I don't know what to think after hearing their new songs. Hope the energy's there for a live show.

 

[Insania]

Right -- jewel cases, that hard plastic shit, always seem to break on me too. Someone's gonna make a million on a redesign someday...

 

[ms. anthrope]

did you miss their show last friday??? that was the last one for a while...

 

[Insania]

Yeah, I was down in San Diego all week. But if it's the last gig for a while, I take it that they'll be working on new DL and Testament stuff. Bring it on!

I hoard my cd's and barely ever take them out of the case. I just rip them to mp3s and make a burned copy of it. I probably wont bring the actual cd most places when it comes.

I suppose I'll start collecting Dragonlord cd's after im finished Iced Earth cd's. Shouldn't be nearly as hard as Testament, there are still like 10 testament cd's i dont have. Dragonlord should be much easier.

 

[xenophobe]

Yeah, as of right now Dragonlord only has the one album... would think that would be REALLY easy.

 

[TrueBeliever]

You would think so, wouldn't you? Who knows, I may finish Testament first.

 

[AdamWathan]

Stop listening to your mp3's and go buy the album! Cheap ass lol

 

[TrueBeliever]

I bought the album mid-June. My point is I'm still waiting for it.

I actually think I have like 200-300$ in my bank account. I dont need it right now (I'm not living on my own or anything), I may take that out and buy like 10-15 cds. I only need like 12 more Testament cd's I could finish collecting those...



Sorry to complain ms.anthrope, I know you're doing your best to help.
