Same Crypt with Extreme effects

"This is my first reveiw ever for Amazon- cool! Anyway, the same Crytopsy riffing and Lord Worm unique lyric writing style is back (no suprise really). The differences I heard really were just in the generous use of effects/synth orchestration, Lord Worm's vokill's didn't have that 'hollow' effect (he said in an interview I read one time that he couldn't get that sound anymore), and the lyrics weren't as gory (glad about that actually). I haven't accessed the extras yet, but as one reviewer said it doesn't have any video which sucks, but that's not why I gave it four stars. I gave it four stars 'cause while it shows the finer side of extreme metal (there's a finer side?), it's just more Cryptopsy power with, due to the conceptual nature of the songs, expanded width. It's worth getting for everyone into extreme metal (and some of those into new-school metalcore), but definitely for Cryptopsy fans."

Limited Edition with nothing extra

"I bought this "Limited Edition" version of the cd, because I thought it would have some video or something of interest.

All it has extra is wallpepers,buddy icons & gallery!!!

I HATE DIGI-PACK CDS!!

I should have bought the jewel-case version.

BUT, now that my rant about how Century Media has tricked me into paying extra for crap...

The Music is AMAZING!!!

I'm so glad LORD WORM is back. To me, he's the only singer they should have.

There are some things in the production that could have been better, but overall it's awesome."
