It seems so. My copy has the same problem.

I have the gatefold vinyl version from High Roller. Unfortunately the outside cover is smaller than the inside, so the inside is wobbly and buckled. :-/

It looks like a rushed product: manufacturing errors and released before the scheduled date. Now the question is: is the Golden Core edition any better?

The Goldencore edition contains a bonus DVD.

Well, I don't really care about a DVD for 8€ extra, plus it's a digipack version. I thought there was a jewel case version but it looks like it is a promotionnal version in a cardsleeve. I just wanted to know if the finished product is better overall.

ZYX/Golden Core has both a regular jewelcase version and a digipack with the bonus DVD. I have the digipack version and it's gorgeous.

There's no version CD + DVD with jewel case ?

It does not seem to exist. I'll try to locate a copy of the Golden Core regular version cheap and resell the other one.

Ah, you're just a kid then! I'm turning 41 this year. Will I see you at KIT btw? I'm going to share room with Knut at the hotel in Beckstein so you'll have a stupid Swede to bully!

Ahh, so you're the lucky dude who gets to share a bed with Knut. Yes, I'll be there at Beckstein, so I guess both you and Knut will come over to our (big) room for some beers and Winger/Crashdiet on the stereo. Looking forward to seeing you there, GJ!

I'm listening to the Crystal Logic LP right now, what a perfect freaking record it is... Amazing stuff. But the others I have heard haven't made such impression as this LP at all. Maybe I need to listen to Invasion, Metal, Open the Gates, Mystification etc again.. Of the songs I've heard from this new record, it sounds alright for sure but far from great.
Maybe I should just continue listening to Crystal Logic, drink beer and just fuck off, ha ha.

I'm afraid I can no longer force myself to follow this band since anything I've heard after their reunion was OK at best, while some of that stuff disappointed me greatly. It's kinda cool I guess that they have fans who find the new material amazing and are truly enjoying it, I'll personally stick to the "classic" period i.e. everything up to Courts of Chaos.

I shall watch my Fleksnes dvds daily and only listen to Høst for the next two months... Maybe you could come into our room and put us to sleep? "Grandfather... tell us about Winger."

"Hva skal det være i dette været?" Fleksnes er kongen.

Høst is boring stuff, try some Conception or Tantara instead.
I guess Knut would prefer me to tuck you guys in at night rather than waking you up in the morning. He can tell you all about our morning-ritual, which I think he got a little bored with after a while.
Think I'm gonna play some Kings Of Metal this weekend, thanks for the reminder.

On topic: Randy Foxe's drumming is great.

Do you like Courts of Chaos too? For me it's the weakest MR album along with Invasion, and that includes all the post reformation albums.

I can sort of understand how some people enjoy the old Manilla Road albums but not the newer ones... but that doesn't make it right!
