Hopefully this gorgeous album gets a vinyl release (where the art has a real place to shine). And let’s be honest, the only people who buy CD’s today, but them for the packaging. Regular edition is about $10 cheaper, but you will be missing a lot of the art. This one just bows out, and looks strange. The best digipacks are the ones that are a hybrid with a plastic middle to hold it all together. While I agree that the art looks much nicer on cardboard, they went too flimsy with this release. I also can’t help but feel a bit let down they went with the digipack format. And if you are really a purist, you will be annoyed to find out the Japanese edition includes a poster, set of stickers and extra art that the rest of the world did not get. The packaging of this release will be identical to the worldwide release.) JPN-TYCP-69001 412. Comes with a 64-page booklet, a Japanese description, and lyrics. The “Deluxe” is the version in this review, and I highly recommend it, as the Standard does not have all the art, or the lyric book. (Box set reissue from The Beatles includes 13 US-version albums in a deluxe box packaging (cardboard sleeve). There is the “standard” and the “Deluxe”. Unfortunately, in what I think was a baffling decision, they decided to release various versions. Prior to the release they really went all out to make the world of Plastic Beach seem real (building a 3D interactive model, an online game) and the album itself ties this all together. Because Gorillaz is a cartoon band, one can always expect top notch artwork for a project like this – as the art is as integral to the band as the music is.
