"First of all its almost 2009 and I just kind of stumbled onto these reviews of Rotting Pinata. I started listening to this CD while going through difficult times and just sort of connected with it. But their music just seemed better than everything else for a long time, you can really hear and feel the emotion throughout this CD. NOW for all these people that give it one star, reading their reviews is like trying to understand the retarted. I cant. These are the same people that are listening to Kanye and Beyonce now because they have no mind of their own, they are simply bandwagon jumpers and tomorrow they'll be listening to whatever else is fed to them in a super size meal. Ciao."
One of the best to come out of the 90's.

"It's a funny thing about this album I had it on cassette back when it came out, then I bought the cd a few years later.Oddly enough I never really put the time into listening to all of it. What a mistake that was! When I returned from over seas a few years ago I dug it out of my closet and listened to it all the way through. I have to say this is one of the best rock albums to come out of the 90's. There something I just can't put my finger on but no one else really had a sound like this then or now. My favorite songs are by far pennywheels and miles but the rest of this album does not disappoint."
Don't get ripped off!!

"This Amazon.com listing is for the TWO-DISK VERSION of Sponge's _Rotting Pinata_. But I've now heard from two people who were each sent the ONE-DISK version. As noted above, Disk 2 contains live tracks unavailable in the general release.
If you buy from this listing, EXPECT that you're paying extra for the TWO-DISK VERSION -- else you could pay MUCH less. Before buying, ASK THE SELLER to confirm it's the TWO-DISK VERSION. Then, if they try to slide a one-disk past you, file a complaint.
It's a great bonus disk, but sloppy &/or shady dealers have to stop taking advantage of buyers who roll over from these "errors.""
