jhulud Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (Apologize if some pics are somewhat crappy...I'm using my brother's digital camera since I broke mine... ) Lifesblood Remission Contamination Fest Leviathan Call of the Mastodon Blood Mountain Slipmat Sticker sheet Patch Overall, I am highly impressed with this set. It arrived safe except for a couple of issues w/ two of the sleeves: this unglued corner and a crease/bend thing on one of the Blood Mountain sleeves The only two criticisms that I have are: - The records themselves were very tight to take out. I will resort to put them in plain sleeves outside of the jackets but this overage in stacking causes the lid to not shut down all the way - The box itself could have been made of a sturdier cardboard material like the one for ISIS - Shades of the Swarm box set. BUT To me...this was worth the $240 price tag as I didn't have any of Mastodon's releases on vinyl. Right now I am blasting Leviathan and it feels as though the walls are going to crumble down on me.

cj Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 holy shit! i actually like how the individual sleeves only have the album art as a small picture and not the whole thing. it makes the box set feel like a box set, not just a box made to put the albums in. They feel like a smaller part of the whole package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 looks fantastic. how would those sleeves even get a crease unless it happened while inserting the record before it ever made it into a sealed box? i think someone had a tough time cramming it into the sleeve and wrecked it for you. tisk tisk. now i'm debating even harder on this box. decisions. thanks much for the pictures.
