Suicide Silence released No Time to Bleed this past Tuesday, in 5 different formats or releases. Primarily, there is the CD, which is nothing special, one disc of eleven tracks, a booklet, etc. There is a vinyl version which
is much the same, as well. Hot Topic* released the CD with a different
album cover and a bonus disc. Then, there’s the iTunes (digital)
version, which comes with 12 tracks and a .pdf booklet. To top it all
off, there is a “Maximum Bloodshed” edition of the album, which
is the real deal-maker. You get the CD with a bonus track, a DVD with
the four studio update videos and a hot-dog making lesson, a two-sided
poster (one side is the band members, the other the album cover), 5
trading cards (one for each member of the band), an album booklet, and
a coupon for a free shirt (you do have to pay for shipping and
handling, though, and it’s just a black shirt with the band logo on
it). The only problem with this? It’s not really “Maximum” anything.
The bonus track on this edition is exclusive to this version. It is not
the bonus track you get with the iTunes version and isn’t on the bonus
disc that comes with the CD sold at Hot Topics. So, here is a list of
all the songs that you get between all the American releases of No Time To Bleed:
Wake Up*
Lifted*
Smoke*
Something Invisible*
No Time to Bleed*
Suffer*
…And Then She Bled*
Wasted*
Your Creations*
Genocide*
Disengage*
Misleading Milligrams
Them Bones (Alice in Chains cover)
Unanswered (Live)*
Bludgeoned*
The Price of Beauty*
No Pity for a Coward*
Green Monster*
Destruction of a Statue*
Altogether, that totals up to approximately $55 for 19 tracks. And a
shitload of repeats. It’s $59 if you end up getting the shirt too. This
is all for one CD. Essentially two-discs and a DVD. This is bullshit.
So, you can spend all that money so you can hear everything, if
you’d like, which, for some people, is okay. For people like me who
either don’t have much money to begin with, or should probably spending
it on something else, we download it. I personally have only seen
downloads for the regular album and “Them Bones” so far, but I’m sure
Misleading Milligrams and the bonus disc will make it’s way around
shortly. A couple of hints to downloaders (it amazes me how many people
don’t know these couple of things):
1. When looking for something through Google, always put “*artist or album* download/torrent/Blogspot/Mediafire/etc.”
2.
The Pirate Bay may be the largest available torrent site (for now),
but, it doesn’t have everything. Refer to the other hint, you may find
what you’re looking for on other sites (or even on the Pirate Bay;
their tagging system isn’t the greatest, I’ve noticed)
Quit making 17 different releases in 30 countries of the same CD and maybe we’ll feel less-inclined to download shit illegally.
