Well, the leaked version was no decoy album =( I still haven't gotten into this one yet. Oh well. The album packaging, however, is awesome!

Still need to listen more but I am being distracted by the only Fantomas album I never bought (Delirium Cordia). However, what I want to know is why did my friend rip it at 96kbps... I'll have to have a word with him.

I've foudn that a lot of the people who dissed it immediately are actually converted now. I guess once they realized that it was nothing like they expected it sort of cleaned the slate for them and they were able to dig it.

Jambi will be immense live.

The artwork is just awesome. Takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it, but it's really cool, you're really 'in' the picture.

I love it, I'm not quite fully into it yet, but I'm sure I will be soon...it's addicting to listen to.

Wings pt. 2 caught me right away.

is it worth the money?

I paid 14 Euros for it and the artwork alone was worth that money

is it worth the money?

$10 USD for me...the packaging alone is worth that.

damn thats whack

here it costs 30 or so

£9.97 for me.

it cost me 10 USD and was worth it not only for the music, but the artwork is INSANE

$10 (USD as well) here for me too, got it at Best Buy (first CD I've bought there in ages). The artwork was worth more than that cost alone. I also now understand why Buzz Osborne was there, since Mackie did the design and layout (and Tool are friends with the Melvins, 2+2 there).

Anyway, yeah, artwork may be the best that I have ever seen. It consistently got better with each Tool album, and I don't know if they can possibly top this, it is very impressive.

As for the music, I'm only on my third time through it, so I'm still getting into it, but I've enjoyed my first two listens greatly.

I paid €17,95
