Derek: Posted January 18 For those interested, it looks like this has leaked.

After listening to the album 5-6 times now I can say I have two tracks that really stick out for me, and that's the two longest ones: An Offering To The Wild and Blood Upon Stone. Truly amazing. Also the ballad Into The Night has grown since i heard it the first time. As always; this CoL album is a grower, and I will discover new things for many years to come. Of course it's already a top contender for album of the year.

Damn it, I wish they could have shown the collage pic with how many there are of each versions before the release. Now I got one of the top blue ones, but I would have gone for any of the versions with 200 if I had known.

Mine looked the same and I was a bit surprised actually. Not what I had expected. And the inner sleeve was fucked despite being really secure packaged.

The track I was most looking forward to, the one with one of my heroes (Mark Lanegan), is surprisingly the weakest in my opinion. Apart from the it is what you can expect from Cult of Luna; totally magnificent. Especially side B blows me away.

I never received any shipping notice for my galaxy orange/blue. Suddenly the postman just rang the doorbell, and there it was.

That's brilliant, excellent service. Guess I'm gonna keep my new one sealed then and play the one I opened.

The band just asked people on Twitter if they have received their vinyl yet, which must mean it's on its way. Strange that there is no leak yet.

Just found this outside my door. First spin now, sounds really great!

These are limited to 500. I wonder how long it takes before another site has another version limited to 300. And after that another one limited to 100. Oh well...

I swore that I would never buy a Mark Lanegan album again, so I'm pretty sure that it won't count that he is on the upcoming Cult of Luna album that I just pre-ordered: "We have been a fan of Mark Lanegan for many years. So in 2005 when we wrote the song “And with her came the birds” we had his voice in mind and the working title was “The Lanegan song”. But we were not many years over 20 and our lack of self-confidence prevented us from even daring to ask. It took fifteen years for us to get the guts to ask him. Hearing his voice on “Inside of a dream” is nothing more than feeling that we’re inside of a dream. /Johannes Persson (Cult of Luna)"

Featuring Mark Lanegan...now that will be something!! This is a dream come true for me too: "We have been a fan of Mark Lanegan for many years. So in 2005 when we wrote the song “And with her came the birds” we had his voice in mind and the working title was “The Lanegan song”. But we were not many years over 20 and our lack of self-confidence prevented us from even daring to ask. It took fifteen years for us to get the guts to ask him. Hearing his voice on “Inside of a dream” is nothing more than feeling that we’re inside of a dream. /Johannes Persson" Grabbed the orange and blue.

Just listened to Ohms twice, and I have maybe 7-8 listens before, but I still can't get more than an "ok" feeling. Nothing catches on unfortunately, but hopefully someday it will...
