Ran across it late last night and didn't have time to really evaluate the songs. There was only one positive review at Amazon that wasn't too helpful.

Thanks just did it and immediately received an email for the $5 credit.

I bought this one but only 15 of the 18 tracks were showing in my iTunes (probably wouldn't have noticed right away except Viva La Vida was one of those missing). I did find it in my download folder, though, and then opened it in iTunes, and then found it in my iTunes in correct order. Weird, but at least I figured it out without having to contact CS.

A few times i have noticed the Amazon downloader didn't add a song or two to my iTunes. If you are watching the little bubble text as it is working and it doesn't add a track it tells you.

Also, everyone might want to check the Video Game Talk forum - there is a free game you can download on Amazon and when you "buy" it you receive 5$ in credit for the Amazon mp3 store. Not a bad little thing to get a DotD or 2 for free.

I'm bummed. We're on page six and there's still nothing I'm interested in. The last thread had quite a few artists and deals that I picked up but not yet on this one. Here's hoping.

Thanks; good to know it's not just me. Since it was 18 tracks, I had walked away from my computer.

Yeah sorry. I had a bunch of threads open in tabs and thought the deal was posted in the Video Game forum area.

Reading comprehension fail on my part.

That's cool. I just got excited. I think I will be able to get 2 $5 codes as my wife has a different Amazon account than me. I was hoping I might bump that total to $20 in free MP3s.

Yeah, I posted it both places to alert both music and video game enthusiasts.

I'd compare this album to some of Spoon's stuff...which makes sense since I believe it was produced by Britt Daniel of Spoon.

Just like MaxFisher said...it's a fantastic album...and definitely worth more than $2...

Slavery existed because it was commercially viable and there were those that justified it using circular logic (i.e. slavery was OK because people wanted to keep slaves). It was only when men of moral character started standing up to the slave traders/owners that the wheels were set in motion for the abolition of slavery. I draw a parallel to straight porn. - art
