Y'know, I think there's a point to be made about the peripherals that came with The Astonishing. Some were cool ideas, but just came too late (such as the novel), and others were simply poorly executed, like the model NOMAC or the web game. But I don't think there was anything wrong with the idea of The Astonishing's extras, and, at the very least, you can say that The Astonishing was interesting enough to support extras, whereas this Sons of Apollo album sounds like it'll barely be interesting enough to justify its own existence.
