Couldn't you just put it in a new clear jewel case?

Yeah, no kidding. I had so many broken or cracked cases. Frankly, I hate them anyway. Takes up way too much space. Trust me you two... when you're married and have kids, you'll probably toss them all too. I have all my CD's and liner notes in 3" binders. Much more space effective.

Nick, you're actually ordering a new CD??

THIS!!

I hate when you get a CD and the little circle tabs are all busted. I remember when I got the Live At Budokan DVD, the DVD was so tight, I literally cracked it in half (which I returned to Best Buy and got a new one).

Look at the picture, it's a digipack version. If something breaks on a digipack, you're fucked.
For some reason, the Nine disc I picked up at a store was in a proper Jewel Case

Oh I see. OK.

Nick · « **Reply #459 on:** June 26, 2012, 10:12:36 AM »

Yeah, had this been a jewel case release I simply would have given it a new case, but the inability to easily replace digipacks, along with their flimsy construction, is a large part of the reason I despise them.

Obscure, you should have a PM shortly.

obscure · « **Reply #460 on:** June 26, 2012, 02:32:01 PM »

thanks Nick!

Great! I just gave it another listen... and I swear it's fuckin funny

damn I wish I didn't have to cut out those parts I did .... that guy is hilarious....

Great interview, and good to hear there were no legal issues with the name.

I've never had a problem with digipacks cracking or breaking, but I constantly have issues with jewel cases breaking, often due to my own negligence or during the actual shipping. Digipacks seem far more durable, IME, though having one break would be annoying.

My copy of Nine that I got from Amazon came as a regular ol' jewel case. Who was shipping out digipack versions?

TL · « **Reply #466 on:** June 26, 2012, 11:21:38 PM »

Mine was a jewel case as well. It actually threw me off a little bit, as every album I've bought in the past while has been a digipak of some sort.

wolfking · « **Reply #467 on:** June 27, 2012, 08:23:29 AM »

I didn't even notice it was the digipak version, as mine is only the standard jewel case. I guess that makes sense then Nick. Can't say I've ever had that happen to a digipak. I'm disliking digipaks more and more as time goes on lately.

adace · « **Reply #468 on:** June 28, 2012, 04:18:52 AM »

Just starting to get into this band. What I've heard so far is just excellent

FlashCE · « **Reply #469 on:** July 12, 2012, 06:06:33 AM »

First post in this thread I think.

Nine is fucking AMAZING. I'm so glad the instrumental sections are kept to a minimum. Just great melodies and riffs throughout. Solos are not too over-the-top and extremely melodic.

obscure · « **Reply #470 on:** July 12, 2012, 06:25:46 AM »

it's just perfect.... I am loving it to bits!

MetropolisWatches · « **Reply #471 on:** July 13, 2012, 05:38:41 PM »

Does the new album have an instrumental track? I loved "Biosfear" and "Sane No More" on the 2 previous albums.

Yeah, I really liked those instrumental tracks too so it was a little disappointing this album didn't have one. But I actually liked this album more than the other two - I had less problem with the vocals on this one so that kind of makes up for not having an instrumental.

I was just wondering if any of you circus maximus fans have heard the band AEON ZEN album the face of the unknown , holy shit they sound to close to CM , the only thing i really don't care for so far is the drummer though, but there very borderline ripping off CM , there not as good musicians but im kinda digging this album, just can't shake thethem sounding so much like CM .

The guy behind Aeon Zen plays all the instruments and I think he's a pretty decent drummer. The only similarity the two bands share is that Michael Eriksen sings on a couple of the songs. aeon Zen is your run of the mill Prog Metal band, and if anything, they sound more like Dream Theater.

... Oh I guess they are a Circus Maximus rip off.

just got this album, Last Goodbye is my fav so far.

Today is the first time I've heard them, I'm listening to Reach Within. All I can say is:

I find Reach Within to be the worst CM song. Its not like its some bad song, its just that... there is nothing that makes me like it I guess. The chorus is kind of catchy, but just doesn't feel like a good song to me.

If you have Nine, then my favorite is Burn After Reading

wolfking · « **Reply #483 on:** August 02, 2012, 05:02:29 AM »

Listened to Nine again today after a couple of weeks off it, it's still amazing.

obscure · « **Reply #484 on:** August 06, 2012, 06:39:31 AM »

Agreed!!!!! This album is the biggest testament to the talent of these guys (well more of Mats in this case) .. Making a very busy, very proggy album is a lot easier than going for simpler and more poppy sounds but making it this beautiful....

wolfking · « **Reply #485 on:** August 21, 2012, 11:59:04 PM »

I just keep coming back to this album, it's incredible, probably gonna be my top album of the year the way it's going.

And man, I just read through the lyrics of Last Goodbye, that is seriously one of the best, most heartbreaking ballads I've ever heard. I always liked it, but it's grown on me a lot in the last couple of days.
