What do you all reccomend starting out with?

I started with Elements and once the reissues came out, went to Piece of Time, and saved UP - the crown jewel - for last.

If you don't "get it" at first, don't fret. Just keep at it. It's like those puzzles in dentist's offices; keep at it and it will be it's own reward when it clicks into place.

At least that is MY take on it...

And do whatever you can to make it to any of the shows this year. Show these guys the love they deserve!!!

Piece Of Time is my favorite but you can't go far wrong with any of the three.

And if you can't find one in a store, and you want it now, just go to Amazon.com. There are plenty for sale there....If you're not in a hurry, please just ask your local store to order them.

I don't know where to tell you to start, but in my opinion, try getting piece of time first and listening from there to hear how the band progressed/changed over time. Unquestionable Presence was the 2nd CD and Elements was the last.

I ordered the three CDs and a shirt from Relapse, and got them in like 5 days.
That's pretty zippy.

funny it says in stock on all three for me.

www.cduniverse.com has them as well, but a little more expensive...

Pretty random question, but I don't want to start another thread for this either, so I'll ask it here.. Is there any specific significance as to why the Piece of Time clock says 1:00, or was that just a random time?

Good question.

we'd have to ask the artist Ed Repka. Not sure why it's at 1:00 though, there may have been a reason and I forgot. I'd also like to find him to inquire about getting the original oil on canvas painting.

Steve - you might be able to get a hold of Ed Repka through these guys ...

He's also the Art Director for the NECA (National Entertainment Collectible Association) but they don't have an email address for him on their web site.

Awesome man thanks!!! I'll look into it. Kelly and I were talking about it when we were rehearsing a few weeks ago.
