I am glad its not just me so we know its a real problem. I haven't had time to check everything else out but obviously I want to make sure that is the only problem before contacting 10C. Booo.

That review actually seems pretty reasonable. The scoring system is dumb but I'd say the content of the review is on the mark.

Yeah, I was expecting haughty evisceration but I thought it was a pretty fair and accurate assessment of the record.

Here my unboxing video, just because I went to the trouble.




The Interlude (written by McCready) is probably my favorite thing in this box.

Gave this a spin today. It's crazy Layne has been gone for 11 years this week...

I don't have the CD on me, but the rip that I uploaded to Google Music plays just fine, all the way through 11.

Weird. I'll try a few more things when I get home. I didn't try it on my computer, just my car cd player.

Not sure it is in my book either, dkfan.
Why would you rate it higher?

I think Mad Season's an interesting curio, but nothing particularly memorable. A few okay songs, a whole slew of terrible lyrics and some pretty killer ensemble playing by McCready, Saunders and Martin.

McCready is pretty great on that album. I feel the same way about King Animal :lol: Nothing all that great, imo. I tend to not be a fan of Cornell though, maybe that's it?

Maybe.

I actually love Staley in AiC to the point where I see no reason for the band to exist without him, but I'm not sure he works for me in the context of Mad Season. The lyrics, man, those lyrics: "my pain is self-chosen, at least I believe it to be". Ugh. I quite like some of the album musically, particularly Wake Up and November Hotel.

I thought King Animal was a very respectable rock album and surpassed most of my expectations. Reunion albums are often terrible, they managed to do it really well.
