The product description for the vinyl Deluxe Edition of SISTERWORLD is largely lacking, so I thought I'd expound on what one might expect. You get both the 180-gram vinyl AND CD versions of the original album, PLUS the 180-gram and CD versions of SISTERWORLD REINTERPRETATIONS. And two booklets. Again that's two records and two compact discs, not just the one that's described here.
It's a nice overall package, to be sure; the gold-plated speakeasy on the front sleeve even swings open. Seems to be well worth the money. So get it before it's sold out, no doubt destined to be snapped up by the vinyl fetishists. I'm looking at YOU, vinyl fetishist!
I have listened to many good albums this year and this one sticks out as the best by a landslide. It is different than anything else you will listen to. So if you like all your music the same, you shouldn't check this out. It is dark, but than again so was OK Computer when it came out. The song climbing up the walls is still one of the most erie songs I've ever heard, and this albums reminds me of that. It makes you think and realize that you are listening to an amazingly moving and powerful band! I saw them open for Radiohead a few years ago, and although they have a very different sound, I would easily call them the "American Radiohead" because they are so unique and different. Like Radiohead, none of their albums are identical, but vastly different. Which is a breath of fresh air. To finally see a band pushing the limits creatively and not going for radio play or to be top 40, which lets face it, generally is horrible music anyway. This is an album I can't stop listening to and won't for a very long time. It is dark, yes, but not depressing at all, and what it pulls off is really a remarkable feat that may not be topped this year!
I love the fact that so many other great musicians were on board to do their version of this Liars album (which is their best to date btw). I cannot stop listening to this album, but at least not I have a new perspective on the album from many other collaborators. This Liars album is my top of 2010 so far hands down! Highly worth the extra money for both versions of the album, what an artistic masterpiece! This is the one to beat, although I doubt that will happen!
