[Introspective] Yes = Poor Manufacturing

[Silver Phoenix]

In defense of those who dislike the digipak, even Dead or Alive's "Evolution" Limited Edition came in a more solid digipak even though the sleeves on the inside were more flimsy. The outer frame was a more solid cardboard to retain structure. PSB "Yes" Special Edition is just very thin sleeves stacked on one another. I'm a graphic designer, and aside from the colored check mark on the cover I hate the inside pictures. The went overboard with the colored blocks and obscured the pictures of Neil and Chris a little too much. I hate the brown they used on the inside. They should have kept the inside black as well. It would make the colors a little less obnoxious. If the regular edition is all white I think that may actually look better for what they were going for.

Yes, I bought the album for the music. However, it was just surprising that it came in a poorly made digipak.

  Agreed. I can barely pry the CDs/booklet out of the sleeves without ripping the cheap cardboard...
  Extremely poor quality for a proper release, especially for a SE.

  Hey people, your friendly neighborhood Silver Phoenix here. I just received my Yes Special Edition, and I have to say that this cardboard sleeve is bullshit. I don't care how many colored squares you throw on a solid black background, it's just extremely poor quality. I suppose they just wanted to save a buck/pound/euro, etc. I was hoping for one of those cool jewel cases with an insert, but instead I get this crappy cardboard sleeve.

  Is this edition going to be released in the US as well? I know April is the release for the standard album, but if there are no differences in what is included I'll stick with this one.
