The gatefold not even contains texts and looks pretty unkind. Here the higher price compared with the CD is not justified.
Amazon has not covered itself with glory with the delivery. The LP was sent only on the day of publication. AutoRip has not worked. Amazon has made me take the album of the same single available. On a contact request I got the answer that the request was forwarded to the technical department. So far (after 6 days) I've heard nothing.
It is positive to note that the LP came with a coupon for free MP3 downloads of the album. The download also worked very uncomplicated. The MP3s are 320kbps, so good quality.
The two points I forgive for music and these points are mathematically exact to understand: 40% of the songs are really good, so 4 of 10. In particular, those are for me the tracks' favorite colors and Animals "," Love Is Colder Than Death "" Always so on, "" Black Cloud ". The rest of the songs is frighteningly weak and I would have expected on an Element Of Crime album a higher Quality Score.
I regretted not buying, 40% of Sven Regener is still better than 100% of another band, but considering the previous albums to EOC not show here by their strongest side. The short running time of only 37 minutes reinforces the impression that sprinkler and Co. prefer still have some time left. Especially after the sprinkler remarks on copyright he missed it here, to deliver sustainable purchasing stimulating reasons. Loveless vinyl and short play time at full price are not the best arguments.
