My prayers have been answered (sort of). Back in July, I grumbled that buying music from iTunes was all very well but not possessing actual CDs meant no inlays to geek over.
Metallica’s latest work Death Magnetic has disproved this by featuring an electronic book. It opens in acrobat and looks pretty much like an inlay with pictures and lyrics. Alas there is a notable lack of ‘thanks to big John – take it like a man mate’ type stuff, but maybe Metallica consider themselves past that kind of nonsense?
The other downer is the cost. Dear Heart just purchased the entire album so he failed to realise that the ‘booklet’ added £3 to his purchase. Actually he failed to even realise that he’d purchased the booklet, but I’m putting that down to his enthusiasm for listening to it.
Still it's a step in the right direction and could open ip a whole new level of geeking.
