Monster Zero Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Not sure about the concept - buy a few and you would be as well buying an iShuffle or similar to house the music on....but it's one of my favourite bands and quite probably my favourite album so for geeky curio value, bought...Bella Union Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eupraxia Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hearing that we could put an album on a badge seemed so much more than a short lived gimmick.LOL. Seems like a very short-lived gimmick to me. Because it's an album. In a fucking badge. There's a reason this hasn't been done before.Killer record, but I'll stick to listening to it on CD on my stereo, or on my iPod. Along with the rest of the music I have bought. Stored. All in one place. Conveniently. Not in a box with loads of pin badges in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 It's really just for fanboys, assed with fudding about with a load of badges when I can just turn to my laptop/iPod/CD player for musical goodness. I'd speculate that the sound quality of this 12 button will be akin to having brown sauce squirted in yr ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french_disko Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 The latest Memory Tapes album was also released on the same format. 6.99 for the CD in One Up or 17 for the badge on Amazon? No brainer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewarden Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think its a pretty cool idea, heard of these before, bet you start seeing some "badge-only" releases in the near future (if there isnt any already). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 believe the main point to these is to enjoy the album as a body of work as opposed to just a random collection of songs. Shuffle is evilYou can load complete albums on an iShuffle as intended, doesn't have to be all mixed up. I usually load up loads of a bands albums onto my Shuffle and listen in sequence. Currently all of Johnny Cash's 'American Recordings' albums. Great wee device and more practical for the daily commute than fucking about with a full size iPod.I think the main reason it wasn't done before is because, you know, technology wasn't quite there to achieve it..
