I have yet to receive my copy of the limited edition! That means, I have yet to even hear the ALBUM! GRRRRRRRRRR! I am so furious right now! Cross your fingers that I get it TOMORROW (!!!!!!!)...

no kidding? I could've told you that. That's why I don't pre-order at all. I took great pleasure in going down to Fred Meyer when the doors opened at 7 a.m. this morning and grabbing the first copy out of the box (they hadn't even put it on the shelf yet).

But look at it this way - you could go down right now and buy the limited edition or something. That way, when your copy does arrive, you'll have both (different packagings, cover art, etc). Just a thought...

How different is the packaging on both? I assumed that the limited edition had that red cover on it like a slip cover, sorta like VBOFM that came out last fall. Can anyone describe the packagings? Thanks!

PS: David, I said CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!

The Limited edition has that red cover and looks like a cd-size cardboard book. It's about 3/4 of an inch thick. Inside the pages contain lyrics and photos (the same photos we've all seen, nothing new). There is a small (8x10) poster that is folded up and tucked in there with more of the same old photography. The two last pages are sleeves with the two discs. I will save my comments about the second disc for another thread as not to spoil it for anyone, but I will say it's rather disappointing.

Thanks, Sonia! I'm dying in antici...pation! The second disc already seems like a disappointment; Not Make Believe has some BAD lyrics and I thought Lindsey's vocal on the AOL Peacekeeper blew. BUT, I love that Bob Dylan tune; I can't wait to hear FMs take on it.
