must for all d.c. fans

now, i know that i might get convicted for saying this, but if anybody that would buy this album and is willing to spend the money for it, go ahead, it's great. it's a very rare disc. if you are not willing to go for it, just go ahead and buy the extended copy of "swiss army romance". it brings both of those b-sides exactly as they are found on this single. they are great songs and you can hear the transition of chris' voice from when he first started out to how the band and he have formed as artists. these are beautfiul and heartfelt songs, all in the dashboard tradition.

Rapid Hope Loss Is Amazing, But....

I cannot stand "This Is a Forgery." It really must be the worst Dashboard song ever made and sounds like a cheap video game. In addition, "Hold On" is just a better than average song for Chris Carabba. If these two songs were really rare, this might be a decent purchase, but they are on the Swiss Army Romance reissue album. My advice would be to get Swiss Army Romance and the new version of A Mark, A Mission... with the R.E.M. covers CD. Skip this overpriced, though rare, release.
