Planet Earth contains 10 new songs and some hidden tracks that can be listened to through the use of the present interactive part in the cd

Well that could explain why the insiders were saying it was going to be a long album.

There seems to be some strange interactivity with this cd and the web.

sarko, sei italiano?

No, my friend, I just have translated the bit I was interested in.

ok... by the way, the release date in Italy is 3 days before the rest of the Europe.

Aloisio said:

I know, you lucky bastards !

R U a Sarko fan? I mean, the french president?

maybe the CD unlocks bonus mp3s online. didn't metallica do that a while back?

Anxiety said:

Possibly. It would be logical if you think about what has been said so far about the package : no booklet, no text, just a link to a site.

sarkozyiszeman said:

i really hope it's not a NIN "with teeth"-type package. i thought that was so weak.

I think it's far more likely that the 'interactive material' will be the video for
Guitar or some live footage etc. If it's just bonus audio material, why have it
as part of the 'interactive' section? Why not just tag them on as bonus tracks
like on Newpower Soul or Rave?

Anxiety said:

What strikes me is that those (the real ones) who had infos about PE were expecting a long album. So hidden tracks would not be surprising.

BorisFishpaw said:

yeah that seems a bit weird. although it has been done before.

what i liked immensely was when chad van gaalen released some
tracks -actually an entire EP's worth of new material, online
and you could only access it by using a password.

the password was the barcode from his last album Infiniheart,
which had been released about 8 months prior to that release
online.

i thought that was a great way to release bonus material to
your fans and not make them buy the cd once again just for
the bonustracks you're releasing.

it was just a real treat to get that free bonus after you'd
already had the album for nearly a year.

very cool

(and OT: is your nick sarcastic or sincere sark?)

wasitgood4u said:

Not sarcastic whatsoever.

Giovanni777 said:

this achieves what exactly?, be a man, if you have something to say say it otherwise you can .....!

funkyhead said:

being vague gets you more attention.

Anxiety said:

And it allows you to show off whereas you know shit...

Is this going to turn into another one of THOSE threads. Please people. I read every post here and I didn't think G was trying to get attention with his post. How can mean he's trying to draw attention to himself? Let it go already. Give the dude a break.

enabler!

hokie1 said:

yeah really! geesh! means "cool" right? shit Giovanni can't even say "cool"?

Anxiety said:

OK, Mr. Funny Guy I just think the attacking is getting old. I've always maintained that if you don't like a particular orger or like what they have to say then ignore them. If you want to get technical any attention whether it's negative or positive is still attention.

I hope "Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful" is part of the bonus material.

RodeoSchro said:

I hope "Wonderful Ass" is part of the bonus material. (hey, it's got wendy & lisa )

BorisFishpaw said:

Maybe the Superbowl performance footage?

DAG.

Can't even take a ?

Stunad.

Shorty said:

Thanks, Shorty.

It was mostly just 2 say "cool"... and also because I said several times that I expected the album 2 be longer, and someone above pointed that out.

Anyway...
