I'm not a huge fan of hers but she's okay. I'd say I'm a casual enjoyer of her music. I saw that her new album is on a clear CD. How did they even make this thing? I've seen cheap CD-R's that are kind of see-through when held up to the light, but this is almost completely clear. I stole this picture from discogs by the way but if someone wants a higher quality picture taken by me I'd be happy to. Seriously though, this thing looks cool as hell.

I love the idea and it's nice to see artists/labels still taking an interest in physical releases (and not just vinyl) :)

I wonder how exactly it works; I'm guessing there's several layers so that the laser doesn't go through

    I only tried it in my PC optical drive. I'll run some tests and report back.

    Update: I tried it in a Denon CD changer and it wasn't detected, Same story with my Tascam CD recorder. It worked fine in my Denon DVD/SACD player. It also worked without issue in my Sony CD clock radio. Damn, this thing is going to get returned alot lol.
