Lovely Broken Thing : A message from Rick and Karl

[GoatSucker]

Thanks to everyone involved for this - it's a lovely release. Here's some quick comments:

Ordering process:
Went ok, but could be smoother. Had to use a 2nd credit card, after the first one was declined for some reason (it normally works fine for web purchases). PayPal would be a nice option.
Had to download about three times because it kept on stopping half way. I guess this could be down to the server load, and it got there in the end.
The download link appeared about 8 times - I understand this will be fixed soon.

Package:
Really nice to have artwork and bonus photos. Makes it something extra special that retail albums don't have.
MP3 at 192Kbps makes me a bit unhappy. Would have expected 320Kbps VBR, and would have liked a lossless version as an option (FLAC/WAV).
Come on R&K... lossy audio is SO 90's.
Also, it would have been good to know it was only 192Kbps before downloading. A single MP3 is ok, but a cue sheet would have been useful for burning.

Music:
Nice selection on tracks. No killer tracks ('Moaner' / 'Pearls Girl' quality), but hopefully those will be waiting for the next album. I know the point of this release is to make something slightly different, anyway, so for that I'm grateful. The first part is very nice indeed.

Overall: Top release, and keep it coming
