無名。詩

My limited edition 無名。詩 puzzle and CD!!!

It came...two weeks ago...

I'm not sure how or why I let it sit in my closet for two weeks before opening it. That's totally weird considering I should be super excited about it.  But then again, it's never been the same these few years. There's nobody to share the excitement with. I guess there's a bunch of people around me who like hocc. But nobody's as 'crazy' about it as I am. Or at least nobody looks at it the same way I do.

The actual product is really nice, so I guess my $50 CDN was worth it.  It's record sized and really thick.  Really nice to hold.  It even has a plastic cover to protect it.  Unfortunately, some of the promotional writing on the cover seems to have rubbed off while it was shipped here.  So it's less than perfect.  (But I guess that's not as the time I accidentally ripped the gold sticker on one of the other albums. =P)

Surprisingly, there's very little inside.  Basically, it's a stiff, folding cardboard 'case', which also serves as the puzzle's frame.  Other than the CD, the only additional thing is a very thin paper which has a pic on one side and the lyrics and credits on the other.  It's kinda weird not to see all the promotional content.  And weird that there is no fan club registration form.

Of course, the fun (and expensive) part of this is the puzzle.  But what's more interesting is that the CD is hidden under the puzzle.  Meaning you have to take apart the puzzle to take it out.  Clever!  But that also means that I will probably never take the CD out.  Or more correctly, I'll never even know that the CD is actually there.  But at this point, I'd rather keep it in mint condition.  So in a sense, I buy all these things for the sake of collecting, for the sake of owning it.  (That's probably bad?!)

And look what I just found on ebay....how tempting...

And look what else is on sale on the goomusic website today...even more tempting!!!
