Lit. Account deleted	Permalink 21.03.2014 - 17:26 Lit. Account deleted ^ I couldn't care less about Control Denied, let alone a likely-not-going-to-happen second album, so I'll happily take this to complete my collection. The first two albums are in desperate need of reissuing, anyways. Loading...

Svneatr Vitharr Posts: 118 From: Canada	Permalink 21.03.2014 - 21:31 Svneatr Vitharr Posts: 118 From: Canada Bought it but quite expensive I think. Nice to have for fans who didn't get the opportunity to pick it up earlier. The Individual Thought Patterns reissue is still listed as Relapse's top seller, so it must be good for the label as well.

So is every repress and reissue a cashgrab? Some people (not me) are probably very interested in the bonus material. Also I feel like sometimes people forget that the music industry is a source of income. People need to make money. Although I do usually hate remastered versions of albums Loading...
Troy Killjoy perfunctionist Posts: 21306 From: Canada	Permalink 22.03.2014 - 07:59 Troy Killjoy perfunctionist Posts: 21306 From: Canada It's an industry and labels need money too. As much as we all love those name-your-price Bandcamp demos being pumped out daily, these guys need to make a profit in order to stay alive and keep their jobs. Wouldn't call it a cashgrab considering how many fans on Death's Facebook page are absolutely stoked about this. It's supply and demand, and good on Relapse for capitalizing on a good sales opportunity. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something." Loading...

Lit. Account deleted	Permalink 22.03.2014 - 16:59 Lit. Account deleted ^ THANK YOU. Not everyone is blessed enough to have the first print of this album. Some of us have to rely on reissues, remasters and even remixes. I personally prefer getting these remasters/reissues with all the nice bonus stuff. Now let's hope they get to doing the same with Scream Bloody Gore. Loading...

Yeah, my version is a 2008 reissue with 5 live tracks. I dig it a lot and It was worth the money for sure, no point in searching for that first press. I'd buy the shit out of the pink vinyl and the 3CD digipak if I had the money. ---- Written by BloodTears on 19.08.2011 at 18:29 Like you could kiss my ass Written by Milena on 20.06.2012 at 10:49 Rod, let me love you.
