That's a record I'd be very weary about.

I finally own a legal copy of TWP and im very happy with it. Im not even gonna try to review it sins I known that every TG album had to grow on me for at least 6 months. I just can say that I like every single song and my mood mostly decides which song I like the most today (just as every other TG album). :D

I do have one thing about the used fabric for the album. It feels a bit cheap especially the booklet, it feels a bit like recycled paper. Do more of you feel the same or is it just stupid me? :)

the cover is printed on the mat side of the cardboard, not on the brilliant side which gives a vintage effect in my opinion. And if the booklet is made of recycled paper, thumbs up for the band to get greener!

The problem is the blurred print there. I can hardly read the lyrics.

It's just unglossed cardboard, people. Not necessarily recycled.

I doubt whether it's actually cardboard. You know, the brown stuff people use to make boxes ...

It's heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!!!!!

I'm very very happy, the package took less than I expected to arrive, and no one charged me taxes!!! Only €11 :D (really, I was expecting at least €25). Even more, it survived the strenuous trip from The Netherlands to FL, US to San José, Costa Rica to my house :o . And no damages whatsoever, thank you for packaging it well!

Everything looks very nice, the material as written by other people seems different, but I like it, it has a nice "vibe". And if it's recycled, kudos to TG :D .

It's a pity that the printing of the LP had some problems, still, no way in hell I'm going to put the sticker there! With the humidity here it wouldn't last long :roll: .

I am very happy, thank you thank you thank you thank you! :D

Expect a review next Wednesday on www.metalicos.com, the best metal/rock web-page in Spanish! :D (I think I'll give it an 88/100).

I can't read the credits, black writing on brown background is too much for my old eyes... :o

I'm not putting the sticker on my LP. I'll just save it.

I don't have a problem reading the lyrics on the CD booklet.

It's not reading the lyrics that is the problem, the white text is fine. It's the credits, the black text on brown, which doesn't work so well.
