I just purchased a used copy of Sigur Ros' Takk... that I found for a reasonable price at a cd store. Is the album supposed to have any sort of cd booklet in it with track info or anything like that  because mine is missing it, and it being a used cd I wanted to make sure I didn't get short handed.

Nope, no booklet.  You have to go online to find lyrics, recording information, etc.
 
At least they put song titles on this one.
 
Excellent choice, btw.  Thumbs Up

Thanks.
 
Haha, yes the song titles really do help with discussion instead of saying the fourth one.
 
So far I like it alot, not as much as Agaetis, but moreso than () and Von. I don't know why it took me this long to buy it; especially since this material blew me away when I saw them live last September.

The CD is put in an inconvenient place and it’s hard to get it out without scratching it. The cover and art of it is good though.  A great album, probably the best I've found this year.

I agree, the CD is awkward to get out and is likely to get scratched and fingerprinted. I have a similiar problem with Tool's 10,000 days, although I can just about get it out by tipping it upside down.

The package is beautyfull but awkward >> the size of a DVD , and not well studied. I also wondered the same question as yours because it does look oversize  for its content . As for the Cd difficult to bring out, given the wide space, it proves that the package was simply not thought out thoroughly

I actually store the CD in a thin-line plastic case next to the booklet in my collection.....

This CD packaging is like a woman

Beautiful on the outside and complicated and difficult on the inside.
