5/4 Holdout

[aj]

Just picked up my copy from the store.

AWESOMEZ!!!

Let's give it my first listen

WTF? How are people getting it at the store and off iTunes? Am I missing something?

Different release dates around the world....

Yep, Germany released it today. Monday is the UK and Tuesday the US.

[Jesus2Chino]

That being said, and despite all the controversy, 4 days US citizens! AJ, enjoy it, and let us know what you think of it (minus play by plays, haha).

Much respect,
-Matt

Any reason why they release it at different times at different parts of the world?

[punkflop01]

FUCKING HELL!  I like a moron pre-ordered my copies through Warner Bros.  And now they've shipped but they're telling me it might take 5-6 weeks to arrive.  What the fuck??!  I maybe be all the way accross the globe...but we're in the 21st century for christ's sake.  You'd think a week tops...but 5-6 weeks?  I should have been smarter and gone with Amazon....that too Amazon-Germany.

[Jesus2Chino]

3 day countdown, holy crap-balls.

P.S. that's complete moose-caca punkflop, you could travel around the world literally dozens of times in 6 weeks, they must be bringing you your album via donkey and dolphin. Warner needs to not offer their albums for sale if they're going to take that long shipping them out. I've always bought my CDs in person, just another part of the experience I suppose. You should pick up another copy in the meantime, it couldn't hurt to have two!

Much respect,

Yeah, man. This is great. My record store used to have new releases the weekend before the Tuesday of release but they've since stopped doing that I'm pretty sure. I've got a mind to go check anyway even if it is a 20 minute drive. I would love to have it on the weekend and be able to enjoy it without having to go to work right after I listen to it as will be the case if I have to wait til Tuesday. Either way, I'm pretty excited for it.

I don't tend to pre-order but it sometimes pays off. I like to shop at CD Stores to do my bit to keep them going.

[punkflop01]

thanks for the sympathy brother...really been irritated about the entire ordeal.  Been holding out...and now having to wait another few weeks is just ridiculous.  Unfortunately in India, the availability of music - in stores at least...is quite minimal and limited.  I mean you get more mainstream music like Kings of Leon ...but Deftones - no way in hell.  Although I did find the Something for the Masses tribute album when it first came out - that was a gem of a find!  However...while I wait it out for my order...have gotten my local DVD library guy to hopefully get a copy shipped in...and my pilot friend to maybe pick up a copy from London...hahaha...so hopefully I've got all bases covered.  I'm going to be a very sad man if I don't hear this album on the 4th.

i may have downloaded the leak, i may have downloaded the bonus tracks, and I might not have forked out any cash on this album yet but you can bet your ass I'll be at best buy as soon as they open tuesday.

[theis]

Tomorrow! Wuhuu...

[Jesus2Chino]

Two more days for me, whoot! I wish there was a store that did midnight releases out here.

Much respect,

[defskull]

So close!

[Jesus2Chino]

Alright motha-humpers, one day left!

Much respect,

Ha, can't wait to read your reactions, man. After all this time of waiting patiently and avoiding every sound of it (for which you earn my deepest respect, you sardistic mofo) for 2 lo(ooooo)ng months, I'm truly dying to hear your opinion. 

[buddyboy101]

So who held strong?  I tried the crust, but didn't taste the pie.  I listened to Rocket Skates and watched the Diamond Eyes video.  I also saw the scans of the album booklet.  But that's it.

[defskull]

I've listened to Rocket Skates (way too many times) and seen the scans of the album booklet.  I regret seeing them though.  Other then that, it will all be new to me

[Wax And Wane]

In less then 24 hours I'll be listening!!!!! :-)

[aj]

this album is the fucking dogs bollocks.

Absolutely love it

[samson simpson]

You all are in for a musical treat

I just picked up a official copy today and it sounds about 19 X better than the ripped version Ive been listening to ripped
these last couple o months

Much Respect ,
Matt

[Livewire]

Still haven't listened except for Rocket Skates a few times and Diamond Eyes once.
