Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Its the great rock and roll swindle for 2012! How on Earth can a band who had maybe two semi hits have the audacity to offer up a box set for $100.00?
Lets look at what you get for the Benjamin
-Four 12″ LPs pressed on vinyl and individually packaged in custom sleeves
– Lyric book
– A Mamelok mask as featured in the album artwork
The first hilarious statement is the 'individually packaged custom sleeve'. This rarity would be called an album. How should they be packaged in a box with stuffed newspaper?
A lyric book. What the hell? How about 'liner notes'
A Mamelok mask as featured on the album artwork. They should be wearing masks since they're ripping people off. That makes each album like $20.00 and the other crap the other $20. I suppose.
I can see this being offered from a band that didn't just come off an extended hiatus. We had 'Dirty Little Secret' and "Gives You Hell'. That's it and a lead singer with a pretty boy face. Considering their fans are now old enough to know they're being had its a good thing this is a limited 500 pressings since they'll be sitting on a shelf for a long time.
