By the way, to the poster earlier on this page, I also tore it trying to get the booklet and CD out of the case! That upset me greatly, because I'm kind of OCD about this sort of thing. The thing I was wondering about was the lyrics. It said the lyrics were on the CD, but all I got when I put the CD in was a link to a page where I signed up for a mailing list. No lyrics. I really need the lyrics because I'm severely hearing-impaired and can't follow along without them. I haven't been able to listen to the CD yet and it's killing me!

I too am a little OCD when it comes to my CD's and my DVD's. I want them perfect. zeadus wrote: TJ-i wouldn't be suprised if jason intentionally cut back on a fancy cd to reduce waste, just a thought. on another note, any mac users having difficulty downloading? i'm using fire fox and every time i hit "start download" it opens another window and freezes, eventually closing all of my firefox windows. I kind of figured thats why, but the cover is just so thin that it rips right away and its frustrating. To answer your mac question, I used Safari and didn't have any problems. My downloading went really smooth. thekneisley wrote: sltchocum wrote: My "We Steal Things - EP" is ridiculous. Its a simple little paper CD envelope with, what looks like, a stamp for the cover and just a regular burned CD. something that I could have done myself. seriously? that's sad that they charged us for that... They seriously did! Ugh, its just so dissapointing... >>>T.J.<<< Check out my personal MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/me12288 or Check out my MySpace fansite for That '70s Show: http://www.myspace.com/that70sshowfansite122 Last Edited By: sltchocum 05/13/08 03:12 PM.

Y'all should totally complain...write some angry letters or something. if you don't get money back, maybe some free music? Worth a try, at least. Caitlin Do you know what the music is saying?

And the "We Steal Things" EP is ridiculous in it's little cardboard sleeve. Unless that sh*t was burned and stamped by Jason himself, I feel very much ripped off. x.Hayley.

I know neither of these were part of the EPs (and I think Life is Wonderful was available onnly if you pre-ordered from iTunes). Might be cool to get these... Josh I wonder why these weren't part of the super duper pre-order bundle? Or are they and I'm not seeing them? I actually like the homemade look to the "We Steal Things" EP. It looks like someone used a sharpie to label the cd.

I ended up not ordering the hardcopies - I just don't use them anymore now that I can listen to my Ipod in my car. I am really pleased with the album. I like the raw sounds of the EPs, but also the full band qualities of the complete album. I'm a sucker for a horn section I have a few I like more than others, but overall I really enjoy them all. I took a jog with it today - perfect running music And I like "Lucky" alot. I like Colbie, enjoy her album here and there, and her voice. And heck, I'm partial to the lyrics

The "Steal" EP is pre-order only, making it a legit collector's item. I guess I don't understand how it's a rip off. I mean, the track credits would be nice and stuff but there's only so long one can enjoy that. I personally just wanted the CD quality audio so I can put it on my ipod in Apple Lossless. Since buying from iTunes was plan B, might I suggest you do the same and leave the CD in its sleeve in a nice safe place? It may be rare enough someday you'll be glad you did so. Getting the tracks off iTunes is DRMed lossy audio, which I'm sure you know. It's OK if there's no other outlet for the tunes, but for a voice as sweet as Jason's, I gotta have my lossless quality. If it's the packaging you're into, yea, iTunes might do it for ya then, as what the CD came in offers nothing more beyond the same cover art that is on iTunes. If you want the music in the best possible quality, then the CD does the job it is supposed to. Or, if you REALLY can't stand looking at it, put it up for sale on eBay or on here. It sounds like there are already some RKOP members who would be willing to pick it up from you as they regret not pre-ordering one of the bundles. They might be more forgiving about only getting premium-quality Jason audio, without the packaging bells/whistles. The Music of Jason Mraz: It's coffee for your soul!

Like here it is: we just kinda downloaded it from a friend's computer and want you to have a copy! I don't know that's the way I'm taking it. It seems like a literal interpretation of "stealing" the album. And the whole reducing waste thing I'm sure is part of it too. I understand why people who spend their hard earned money for something super special could feel disappointed though. Oh well. The music is what really counts!! And the music rocks!!
