I am rating this as 2 stars because of the manufacturing defects of which it has many. The music itself is fine, worth 4 or 5 stars, bizarre as it is, but Toshiba EMI messed up big time in production. The scratches on the Four-Tet remix of Scatterbrain aren't that bad; the track is so weird that they almost fit in perfectly. The problem is that I can not access the videos for 2+2=5, Sit Down Stand Up, and the other clips, and I'm afraid this is another defect. Maybe I have a bad computer, although it meets specifications; maybe I am technologically illiterate; or maybe it only works on registered Japanese Area computers. In my opinion, if you bought this, sell it for as much as possible and buy the EMI Int'l version. It's a good CD, as long as it works. *Retraction* They're recalling the CD? In that case, when they do, it is definitely worth five stars, although it is really weird. So I guess just hang tight until Toshiba Emi represses the CD, which will probably have the side effect of raising the price.
