Uroboros
Uroboros came today! I ordered it from amazon.co.uk and it shipped from Europe. I haven't listened to it yet, despite aquiring the illegal rip some weeks ago. The first thing I have to say is that the packaging is shit. I ordered the 2 disk edition with dvd which came to some £20. Both disks are held in a cardboard case. It's like the free CDs you get with newspapers. It doesn't include your regular plastic case. How am I supposed to keep my CDs from breaking when all they're surrounded by is flimsy cardboard? For that price, I'm disapointed. Does anyone know why this is? I can see an argument in it for environmental reasons.
On the upside, though, the cover design imho is the best they've ever done. It's so elegant, detailed, simple and clear for once. Remember the eye-squinting Marrow of a Bone? Yeah, none of that here fortunately. The lyric booklets are in the same style of Withering and Marrow; lyrics, translations, on a black background with one small dark band picture.
More later, on the actual songs~
