5.0 out of 5 stars Harder, Darkder, Faster....what more needs to be said?, February 6, 2008

By	Michael "F*** off!" (FL United States) - See all my reviews

Let me start the review with an overview about MVI (Music Video Interactive) for those that aren't familiar with it. In your dvd player, it plays sorta like your basic music dvd: it may contain music videos, behinds the scenes, live footage, etc. However, every disc also features dvd audio for those who have 5.1 surround. Also, when you put the disc into your dvd-rom drive on your computer, you get buddy icons, wallpapers, a link to where you can create your own ring tones using select tracks from the cd, updates on bonus content, etc. While I do feel that this is a very experimental format (only few albums have been released in MVI), the concept is interesting if not innovative. Look at DualDisc....having a cd on one side and dvd on the other caused it to actually weigh more, leading to the danger of damaging your cd or dvd player. I'd rather take my chances with MVI where it's actually two separate discs instead of one.

When I first found out that a reissue for Thornography was coming out, it was October 2006, and the album had just been released. You could imagine the frustration, but I'm a fan. When early details were released, the bonus dvd was said to include live footage, a "making of" feature, and a number of other cool extras. Full details later on said that it would be what it is now: an MVI disc. So it seemed that the cool stuff was ditched....and the bonus tracks are on the dvd, not the cd. Not having any experience with this format at all, I was put off at first. In certain ways, I still am. It seems though that all of the tracks on the dvd including the full album are also in mp3 format so that you can put them on to a cd or your ipod. I feel that while this reissue is not a total misfire, it would've been nice to at least have gotten the live performance and the documentary that was originally going to be included. Even if you own the regular version, this is still a great buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid, but does not include surrond sound mix on the DVD, December 6, 2008

By	Auston (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This release has new artwork included, but does not include
the original album cover artwork in the paper booklet. The
DVD contains the original album in stereo, but not 5.1
(note that DVD-Audio is a specific technology such as
Blu-ray or SACD). On the DVD, each song from the album
plays in stereo with artwork displayed on the screen for
each song. All the bonuses in addition to the original album
makes this release well worth getting if you plan to enjoy
it on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Cradle fans... Get this one!, August 19, 2008

By	Six "Angry Strings" (Hell Centro, CA) - See all my reviews

Glad I held out and eventually bought this version... Includes full album in plain cd format, which is a great album from the band. But also contains the DVD, which for those of you with a DVD drive on your PC, is "pure Gold"... pop this in and DL the entire album in 320 (for backup) as well as all of the BONUS songs in 320 kbs (aka TOP quality)... as well as the fun as hell numyx songs to play with (and of course all of the typical "bonus cd fodder like pics and links and whatnot..) and make your own... too bad I can't figure out how to DL "those" in 320... either way. the best bang for buck if you're a Cradle fan and plan on purchasing this album... And not to mention, not you're average "Deluxe" edition, you really do get plenty more here with this one...
