It's an amazing album! There are so many great songs on it (drag became one of my favouite songs on the first listen.). It's only the song space monkey on there that i don't realy like.
in order to properly enjoy it without having your computer infected by all kinds of nasty bullshit, take the following steps:
1. download the album, preferably a pirated copy. grab it off itunes if you're too lazy.
2. email the band and tell them that allowing their releases to be put out on discs with Copy Control on them is costing them money, because people will not buy that crap. send a cc to their label while you're at it.
3. tell other people to do the exact same thing.
this is Serious Business(tm). the only way to ensure that this doesn't become standard practice is to clearly demonstrate that aggressive DRM schemes hurt their bottom line, and that people will gladly pay for music so long as it a) doesn't suck and b) doesn't come preloaded with rootkits.
free-as-in-freedom tech evangelizing aside though, yeah, the album is damn good.

I didn't realise it had a shitty DRM on the CD. (I ripped it on a MAC) What does it do, install a bunch of shit?
