>> so go on what are you waiting for/// it's like a new release all over >> again.... > I'm waiting for a second CD player, that's all ..... :-) Well, it could be worse. If you like the Flaming Lips you might be bullied into buying another 3, seeing as their new LP comes on 4 CDs which are intended to all be played at the same time (or not, if you're feeling rebellious). What the point of it? Don't ask me. It could be that they were just too lazy to mix it, or that they want to sell 1 CDs for the price of four, or it could be just a load of gimmicky nonsense. Great art concept guys, really it is, but next time please just spare us the bullshit and just give us the music. Or don't, who really cares? And yes, I know you can listen to each disc separately, and that might well be considered 'the point' of the whole release (gasp at the innovation) but as Irene points out, who but the luxuriously rich would have 4 CD players to do this on. Maybe the real point of it all that you should have three friends who are willing to lend you their stereos in order to perform this most pointless of audio experiments in the first place. It's a test of your love for the band incorporating your social skills in persuasion and diplomacy. And after all that it's probably crap anyway. Kewl!
