The songs are unquestionably good, but the mono sound quality of most of these songs just ruins them. And by the way, fetus420, not all cd's sound good just because they're cd's. Most cd's sound horrible and quite unlistenable unless they've been remastered. And I actually like the cardboard digipacks. They make it a lot easier to get the shrinkwrap off and I just think they're a lot cooler than normal boring plastic jewel cases. Long live digitally remastered cd's for sure, but only if they are in stereo. The louder, crisper, and antiseptic sounding the better!!!
