Psycho Circus Album Artwork
From: Mats Vassfjord
Today I finally got my copy of the Psycho Circus album. Complete with all the artwork and screensaver. I have to say it looks very cool, but it's not 3-D, like they made us believe. It looks just like the Ozzfest-cd if anybody remembers that one. You move the cd and the picture changes. And the same happens when you take the actual cd out of it's tray. And the texts and stuff is not in a booklet, instead it's a foldout. Complete with merchandise list, of course! (Always trying to bring in those extra cash, right?) The screensaver is nothing out of the ordinary. It's artwork from the album floating around in different sizes and forms. But before you install it, there are some very cool soundmessages from the band. There's also a sticker on the front that says: This is an enhanced cd with KISS Psycho Circus Screen Saver. All in all, a very cool cd.
I also bought the cd-single the other day, and there are two different versions out here in Sweden: One 2-track with paper-cover, and one fourtrack with regular cover. the songs are: Psycho Circus (Edit) and Raise Your Glasses (Collectors Version) on the 2-track, and on the four track they added I Was Made (7:54) and Psycho (Album Version). The Collectors Version of Raise Your Glasses sounds very different from the album-version. The sound is crappier, like a demo outtake. It's slower, and it seems to be a different take than the one on the album.
