Opinions are extremely mixed on the validity of sample CDs given away free with the vast majority of music magazines… personally speaking, I’m actually quite a fan of them: they are a good way of obtaining free samples of new work by established artists, and of checking out shed loads …

I think the quality of the outside of a product is just as important as the contents. If time has been taken to make the packaging of a product impressive, it’s likely that the contents within are going to match. I, myself, am not a Gojira fan but found myself …
