Not Just A Website To Buy CDs

One of the things I will never understand about internet dating, or social networks, or whatever, is people posting pictures that are clearly not accurate. Either they grossly understate their height, use pictures from 10 years ago, or utilize the dreaded “Myspace Angle” to hide their real body type. I mean, I know I’m pretty dumb, and Jamie’s even dumber, but give us some credit. We’re going to know the jig is up when we meet. It’s kind of obvious. Like any other form of social interaction, the lies are going to come out, so don’t bother.

Enough of that jibber-jabber though (I can NOT stop saying Jibber-Jabber). Something more important is happening today. Something that comes about only once every 5 or 6 years. Something that has the potential to change lives.

Metallica have a new album out today.

It’s called Death Magnetic, which is a reference to many of their friends who have succumbed to the pull of the “rock star” life style and died.

From the opening track That Was Just Your Life, to the blistering closer My Apocalypse, the album just absolutely melts face. It’s fast, hard and heavy, just like Metallica should be. Even the slowest tune, The Unforgiven III (and before anyone freaks out, it’s a continuation of the character from The Unforgiven, not a re-working or re-write of the same song) has a heaviness in feeling that matches up to the scorching riffs of other standouts like The Judas Kiss, and All Nightmare Long. There’s even an instrumental track, Suicide and Redemption, which hasn’t happened since 1988’s …And Justice For All.

I am so stoked to be able to get this album. Only one question remains: do I go with the standard packaging, or go for the deluxe Coffin-Shaped Box Set? The Box Set has the album, another full CD of Demos, a DVD with a “making of” documentary, a t-shirt only available in this box, a flag, guitar picks, and a fold out poster along with a collector’s credit card embossed with a code to redeem a free download of a special European show happening in September. It’s pretty enticing…

Sometimes it’s rough being me.

So, the site is pretty much back up and running, and while there is still a few odds and ends to still get together (namely the improved cast page I’ve been promising for months), We now have Avatars. That’s right… from back when we were doing the site redesign, I’ve finally gotten around to putting together the first round of Avatars. Now, keep that in mind – this is only the first round – every couple of months or so, We’ll troll back through the so-called artwork we’ve done here at No Reason and create another couple of these little thingies you can use. You’ll find them under the ‘Extras’ tab at the top.

You can use them for MSN, for your AIM or livejournal – heck, anything you want to use them for – even as your gravatars here on the site. (That still requires you to register and sign up over there). If you’re nice, you might put a link to us on your website if you do so – but there’s no requirement to do so. These are free.

The only stipulation to this little provision for you, faithful readers, is membership. Like the rest of our forthcoming ‘extra’ content, only registered users will be able to access it. So, you can try and get your way in over here, but you’ll find the way solidly blocked until you decide to honor us with your web handle and name.

And just so you know – there’s like 80 of them.

Well, I didn’t buy the box set. But that’s only because I couldn’t find a copy. I think it’s being released up here at a later date because I called a whole bunch of record stores and they didn’t have hit, and didn’t seem to know what I was talking about when I asked about it.
Either way, the album STILL melts face.

i thought the box set was only available online? through metallica.com and mission metallica….they have no canadian online retailers that are stocking it.
http://www.noreasoncomics.com Jamie
Bethica is right.
We’re in the process of wrapping up the artwork now, so we’ll be sure to have some things to show soon. The coffin box will only be available through http://www.metallica.com, http://www.metclub.com, and http://www.missionmetallica.com and we’ll keep you posted here as to when that will be (soon!) . . . not all countries will be available at the same time, so keep watching.
From the link you posted.

That does explain that. They had some pictures of a day-of-release in-store they did, and people had the box, so I thought it was a general release.
My face is still adequately melted.
http://www.noreasoncomics.com Jamie
Yeah, about that. I nearly slipped on something this morning heading to the bathroom. Please, please … get some saran wrap on that or something. You’re dripping everywhere.

Too much?
http://www.noreasoncomics.com Jamie
Oh no.

Have you ever noticed how grapefruit juice looks like… soapy water? I mean who want’s to drink that? Am I right? Huh?
