I think it's weird they don't really play stuff off of this anymore. I get why they ignore The Changing of Times, Act of Depression and Cries of the Past since it was such a distinct change in sound, featured an entirely different lineup, and let's face it, those weren't even all that great. But this record fits in pretty well with the rest of their catalog and features a good portion of the current lineup.

Are people in this thread actually hating on DTGL? Wow.

thats pretty epic! long time overdue. if you think about, between the original release of the album and and the specaal edition it already had over 500k copies sold. now its even more!

Honestly, I don't believe it took this long. I loved that album when it first came out.

Their best album by far.

guess that's with the addition of the re-release

yeah obviously, it kinda says it in plain english

Also bands that should sell 80k a week only sell like 30k at best now with the digital age.

Same goes for bands like NFG They used to be all over MTV and all that shit and I saw them play in a dinky 500 cap club in the pop punks not dead tour. this shit blows my mind how crazy things change.

i hear that

but good for them. Even though it took 7 years, 500,000 is nothing to sneeze at

Especially for that genre

Bought it the day it came out. Solid record.

The impact of reason.

I would have thought it was already gold.
