    OMG! this is horrible 2004’s Around the sun took it on the chin: Fans didn’t buy it, radio didn’t play it and critics didn’t like it the band were smart enough to recognize that the album had been too slow-paced and meandering and they they set out to correct their course but why?

      Have this sealed just for an attempt at completion. Glad someone posted the inserts, photos etc. since those are the only thing I would break the plastic for. I’m about as impressed with the works of such “renowned artists” as I am with the music on this album itself so sealed it shall stay.
