Customer Review Mando Diao The 3rd, but is two discs too much? The album was produced by the band, so this is Mando Diao as Mando Diao sees it. This is a bona fied rarity in the US! If you're a huge Mando Diao fan with the money to spare, stop reading right now and buy this thing (assuming it's in stock)! Seriously!! This thing isn't even on Ebay! The four bonus tracks and videos on the bonus disc are unimportant and by no means their best works, but for serious Mando Diao fans, they are essential!! The album itself is great and somehow manages to maintain the band's lo-fi sound while adding string arrangements this time around. I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes Oasis or any of those loud British bands with a talent for melody in the 90s. However, for first timers, you may want to start with the single disc, as not only is this expensive, but also the bonus tracks won't mean a thing. Right now, in September 2007, only one of the bonus tracks on the bonus disc is available elsewhere. If you miss buying this, Mando Diao singles often share the same B-Sides or rare tracks on international versions, so don't give up, you can get these rare tracks yet!!. .
