How many copies of Lateralus have you bought?

I was reading Blairs latest update tonite and he mentioned hidden messages where when your first cd gets scratched you want to go buy another immediately, and thats true, i've bought 4 i know of. i wonder if we're being brainwashed into some fucked up cult, i feel like ive been brainwashed into the cult of fucking CORRECTNESS but, whatever man, im just curious as to if that holds up with everyone because he seemed confident when he said "thought so"

Yeah, didn't you know? The more copies you have of each album the bigger the fan u are of the band, and the more money u spend on tool merchadise etc you're more likely to go to heaven and get good karma .........(jk, for those who don't read between the lines)

I have 1. I will soon purchase my 2nd Aenima though, fucking scratches!! They didn't even look bad enough to warrant how fucked up the CD sounds now, and I even used a CD cleaner. First CD I've ever had this happen to.

lateralis is the only tool album that i have only bought once, a few months after salival came out, all my cds were stolen from me.

i have never had to replace any cd because it was too scratched to play. i leave my cds in the cases or in a stereo. i dont set them down anywhere where they might get damaged.

I have that "lateralis" version of Lateralus, does that error make it more special? Anyway, I take really good care of my records so I only have to buy one copy of each...

Uh... I bought one copy, because there's no point in buying another CD when I already have one to listen to.

I used to keep all my CDs in their proper cases. They were in alphabetical order and even separated into musical genres. When they weren't in use, they would be safely tucked away behind a plastic sleeve with there cover showing through on the opposite side. Sometimes I would even choose which art from the CD I wanted available, for those browsing my collection. It was a site to behold.

Then, one average day, I woke up and some of my CD's were missing. After further investigation, I began to notice that some were completely scratched to hell. In a moment of shock, I realized that some were even planning a mutiny to leave me forever. They were doing this by their own will. How is that possible? After all I had done for them, after all the care and nurturing, how could they betray me?

From that day forward, I never put much effort into storing my CDs. I spent days wondering why I had spent so much time and energy on them in the first place. Now they are in various-sized stacks on top of each other. They aren't in cases or sleeves. They aren't in any specific order. You can find them spread out throught-out my apartment, in their various colonies. You might find Dave Mathews grabbing a quick lunch with Tool and Soundgarden. Or you may find Coldplay watching a movie with Alice in Chains.

To my surprise, and yours, they play just fine under these conditions. In fact, they play almost as well as they did when I treated them like kings and queens. I'm beginning to believe that CDs are more like people than we think. If you spoil them, they will betray you and themselves.


Note: Do NOT try and develop relationships with CD-R's. They are clone-like and serve only themsleves.

I agree that if there is no scratch, then there's no reason to buy a new CD.

I have 1 copy of every Tool CD, I keep 'em free of scratches. No way in hell am I gonna scratch a Tool CD.

I only have about 9 CD's total in my collection, and of course 5 of them being Tools, one APC, and three of Alice in Chains.

I have 666 copies of it so I'm the biggest Tool fan!

Really, one is enough and it's still without scratches so don't need another one. And an advice: don't loan your precious cd's to anyone, you'll get it back scratched. I have many scratched cd's not been destroyed by me.

...or for those of you with a cd burner (they're pretty cheap now anyways)you could burn a couple of copies and store the original in a safe place, preferably buried 20 ft. underground in a concrete and steel encased bunker. CD burners are running pretty cheap at Best Buy/Wal-Mart for about $50 to $100.

Re: How many copies of Lateralus have you bought?

Since I tend to be extremely disorganized and since people have stolen my cds in the past; I just burn my cds from my bf's collection.

After buying downward spiral three times I just said, "fuck it, I can't own actual cds anymore".

I had to have burned lateralus 9 times now.

Yeah, that seems to be the way to go. I always forget you're a chick, pardon me, I know that's stupid.

I think whenever CDs start looking like a thing of the past, I'll be collecting the shit out of them, with no intention of playing them. I really wish I had a 'Lateralis' copy of Lateralus. I have the picture disc Lateralus vinyl, and it's staying in a safe place. Might not be worth a whole lot now, but I know in the future it will be. It doesn't matter though, I'll never have a desire to sell it. I'll live on the street with my Lateralus vinyl when I'm older if I have to.

Re: How many copies of Lateralus have you bought?

I will only buy one copy of an album... if it gets scratched I download the album and burn a new one. If it gets lost/stolen/broken I buy another (I like to atlest have a copy of the real thing). I feel that as long as I buy the real album atleast once I am not ripping anybody off.... I have payed for the rights to listen to it, so why should I have to buy another if it gets scratched?

I get that a lot. I really don't mind. I probably seem like a guy to others on here because my whole life I had been hanging out with pretty much only males, by choice.

Re: How many copies of Lateralus have you bought?

I bought it for the first time about 3 weeks after it came out, due to hearing Schism on the radio. Than had that up until last weekend, when I was fed up with only being able to listen to the first half of the CD due to the scratches on he back.

Re: How many copies of Lateralus have you bought?

I have three copies, but this is because I have OCD and feel compelled to keep a second (unopened and stashed away) of my favorite items, not just Tool CDs. The third copy was given to me by some guy I hated. I lost that one I think.
