I'm not sure how much appeal Chaos for Breakfast would have other than
for the hardcore. But speaking as one of the hardcore, it's a
beautiful piece of work. The mini sleeves look great.  The
presentation with all the old pictures and graphics is not just one of
those fat CD booklets. The mastering sounds good. The only problem
with the sound is some of the demos have too much digital noise
reduction and have some twinkling that's worse than the hiss would
have been. I love the demo of "The Wait", which might be my favorite
version (of a song that's never been one of my favorites) despite the
rough sound. But it sounds like it should come out of the dashboard
speakers of a 1960s Dodge, somehow like a 60s AM radio pop mix but
still a heavy track.
