i buy cds when i hear a few songs on them and im feelin it,or usually ill buy if im already into the artist but if i dont know who the artist is the cover is what makes me want to buy it,your cover has to say something in my eyes,a theme, or something like that, some cds ive seen have some miscellanious ass pictures that have nothing to do wit the album or name of the album, bitches are another eye cathcer, some fine 1'z not any old broad u meet at blockbuster video, but thats just mt opinion on how i buy cds.
