Anime

The box itself is gorgeous but highly impractical. It took a *lot* of gentle but forceful maneuvering to get it open and unless you want to put a *lot* of wear and tear on it I don't suggest you do so often. I expected the CDs to be stacked inside and for this to be not much bigger than a CD spindle, but the CDs are standing up inside wasting a ton of space and making the packaging *much* bigger than was necessary. I'd take a point off for putting Nico next to the seam on the rear which isn't lined up really well and makes displaying my best girl distracting, but I love all of Muse so I won't.

I am not exaggerating when I say that this album moved me to tears, multiple times throughout. It's so hauntingly beautiful!! & Truly encapsulates what The Abyss is. The emotional enormity presented here deserves more than the compressed files that are haphazardly uploaded online. You just want to sit down and listen to this in the highest quality possible. This CD is that quality; like floating through an aural sea (of corpses?). Do yourself a favor: buy yourself a copy. & of course: Thank you Kevin Penkin. The color and richness this has added to my life is something that no time can take away. I know this sounds overly superfluous!! but the emotions that I and others have felt because of your music are real, so for that, we are eternally grateful. I hope you're living life to the fullest! “May your journey overflow with curses and blessing.” – Bondrewd

Seeing this show was the most fun I had in a long time, I'm so happy to re-live it as many times as I want with this release. Fast shipping, but really wish cdjapan was more on top of sending the shipping notifications. I'm always having to check my account for updates since no one replies to me.
