Jewel Case?

Trinity · 10-29-2009, 06:04 PM

Is the new cd selling in a jewel case anywhere? I went to HMV yesterday and all they have is the cd/dvd cardboard sleeve and the regular cd in a cardboard sleeve as well. I hate cardboard sleeves!

Is it not selling in jewel case?

Nope, no jewel case.

The CD case sucks. It’s very prone to scratching the disc as you enter and exit the CD from the case. Very poor decision by the band. WTF. They should look at a jewel case from the band Porcupine Tree and see how quality makes the difference even using cardboard. Obviously, the music is important but get for real, the quality of the packaging is very important, particularly if they expect the consumer to pull the disc out on a frequent basis. I've lost some respect for the band and their ability to delegate important responsibilities to those who they pay to manage things like this. If they made this horrible decision, shame on them. I won't pay for another album in this form of packaging. I'll burn a copy from another fan to get my music. Unreal!!

Before you lose respect of the band over bad packaging, there is a good chance that they had no idea or say over how the cd was packaged, that's the label's responsibility, and while they can submit art, they don't really have a voice in how it's delivered or marketed.

This is why some artists form their own labels, more total control over pretty much everything.

Also, managers have nothing to do with how a cd is packaged.

But yeah, jacking them out of their fair share by burning a copy instead of buying it because of something that isn't their fault is totally cool too, that totally makes the situation better and doesn't negate your opinion. /end sarcasm

Yeah, it's the label's fault, not Creed's and yes, the case sucks.

Obviously just making an excuse to be cheap and not support the band. You are not a Creed fan. Why don't you stop wasting web space with your posts and go burn a copy of a Ween album or some other garbage to listen to.

Oh no its the end of the world!

I actually like the case...it looks classy.

When they actually support a band, yes they do.

Why don't you just get it and put it in your own jewel case if you're that concerned about it?

One can also support a band through iTunes or any other .mp3 vendor.

What is a jewel case??

Sorry, I know that was a noob question.

I'd rather have a physical copy of the original CD... but I guess I'm just a "collector" and "completest."
