The other boxsets don't say me anything.
What is the chance HIM will win?
-
I know people who've seen all but the last of those sets, and according to them they leave something to be desired.
I have high hopes for their chance 8)
-
Congrats! ;D
-
Not that it particularly means anything, or that it will make any difference, but let's hope they win! :)
-
this recieved a nomination yet Dark Lights special edition didnt? wtf?!?!?! :-\
-
prolly cuz this album had more promotion, at least thats my opinion
-
I hope they win.
-
I hope Icky Thump wins.
By the way, how pathetic are these nomination categories now?
Whats going to be next? Best Thank You Acknowledgements?
-
prolly cuz this album had more promotion, at least thats my opinion
Haha,more promotion...are you kidding? It got a LOT less then dark light. But still i think the VD box has a lot cooler design then the dark light box set. The DL box set is just plain simpel and boring
-
hopefully good will come from this
-
this recieved a nomination yet Dark Lights special edition didnt? wtf?!?!?! :-\
well seeing as dark light was just a stumble along their sprint for greatness, i'm surprised it was on the charts at all
mind you i liked it, but still, compared with venus doom, dark light is a skid mark on a pair of size 40 panties that make their way onto mige's bass headstock.

i agree with u that its not even nearly as good venus doom songwise but, the special edition was much better with wat u got for ur money. example u got 1 exclusive song, a really tight laser light autographed verification thingy. and not to mention dark light was actually limited. also the packaging for dark light was above and beyond better than venus doom.

Does this mean we can officially refer to the album as, "Grammy Nominated Venus Doom" :D

Yeah sure, for the most non-music related reason :D
...Hey, it's all good right?
-
There is too much Grammy nominations
-
Venus Doom won't win. Panic! will probably win as their limited edition box set actually had an exclusive concert dvd. Still cool that it was nominated.
-
Venus Doom won't win.
That's it, think positively
-
there is actually nominees for box set packaging?..weird
-
there is actually nominees for box set packaging?..weird

-

I don't know, it is not easy being nominated and it is even harder to win
-
i kind of doubt that they even care about that nomination .. but who knows..
of course they care, its money in their pocket and the record companys pocket
-
Actually lamb of god got nominated, i was really happy about that, good to see some REAL music getting nominated
-
i kind of doubt that they even care about that nomination .. but who knows..
of course they care, its money in their pocket and the record companys pocket
yeah, it is also publicity and spread of the band
-

That's winner picture. I don't like it, I think Venus Doom's cover is better.
-
venus dooms special edition sucked
-
they say 'don't judge a book by its cover' and that definately applies to VD limited/special edition. i think its cool they got a nomination but once you open that booklet up.....ugh
-
venus dooms sucked
Who said that?!?!?!?!
Honestly.
'let me at 'em, let me at 'em' ... said The Cowardly Lion.
-
The Black Parade - Special Edition should have won, that one is really worth buying!
-
i would of wanted anyone but the funky soul cd or whatever.
was this nomination in the show, i want to see them announced if so.
-
From the nominees I've have only seem Venus Doom with my own eyes. For the ones that actually know the other items that also got nominated for this category, do you think the winner was really the best?
