- 6***i (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe album itself is a masterpiece by Angels & Airwaves. The quality of the disc is also excellent, however the discs casing is a little cracked and appears as a used case. That does really matter to me, all I care about is the music. 4 stars.
