Yes, all mine are "Complete" on the MD order status list and I have email confirmation that they will be shipped. The packages are not necessarily in the hands of the USPS but the electronic shipping notification has been received. I think its safe to say they're on their way if your status reads "Complete."

My Lennon's are also "Processed"! Now if they could just seamlessly make it to "Shipped" without a hitch, that'd be amazing.

I know, man. That's what kills me about BSN. Its like a 100% departure from everything that made them stand out. Their dual guitar dynamic was unlike anyone else's and now they just use them like your standard rock lead and rhythm where before they blended together in a dual lead style that, at least to me, defied convention. Its not like its a terrible album. Its just a disappointing direction given their potential.

bah. i loved it. did you see them live on the last tour? this stuff translated so well on a headlining slot. i was skeptical when i saw them open for Coheed earlier this year but the last tour sealed the deal for this album. they barely touched on On Letting Go at the show too, which i think Blue Sky Noise has surpassed. i guess i'm not understanding all the hate on BSN, everyone was singing along to every song and it was a good feeling to see so many people into it. that said, I'm gonna spin On Letting Go right now. great album, I may have underestimated it. Yeah, I saw them in November. Honestly, the material translated great but I just wasn't impressed with the album itself. Just feels over-polished without enough substance to back it up. I really like a few of the songs but overall, most of it is just Circa playing radio rock. On Letting Go sort of hinted slightly toward this direction but still retained a mostly unique vibe while being very independent from Juturna.....my sweet Juturna.

I hate all Christmas music except for Silver Bells 'cause that shit is evil and I don't even know how it earned its way into the Christmas Music canon and Silent Night is only acceptable when the main theme is played on electric guitar with heavy distortion and only using bar chords on the lowest two strings while my friend Jim improv's doomy lyrics in a coarse rasp to the main melody like "Satan is well, you are in hell..." Shit really happened...when I was like 15.

^Same here. I don't think they had all these in hand or just didn't have them assembled in time for the sale date that they obviously wanted.

I don't know exactly what all is going into this package other than the two 180 gram LPs and the gatefold jacket but I did feel that the single LP was a bit overpriced. I ordered it because I love Circa and then unfortunately found out that I didn't love this album. Whether or not I purchase it, my feeling about the price doesn't change. Them Crooked Vultures initial press was 180 gram 2XLP with gatefold jacket and printed dust sleeves and cost a little less than BSN on single LP and unless there's some extraordinary bonus included in this package, it seems pretty overpriced when compared to similar packages. That's all I'm saying. Of course, I don't know the FULL extent of what's being offered in this particular package other than the download code for Appendage which is a nice addition but still doesn't justify the cost at this point from my perspective. But I guess once the full details are released about this we'll be able to accurately judge. $30 doesn't seem all that high considering the quality they're putting into it, and wish this album was better? I honestly think this is their best. Honestly, the song craft on the majority of this album feels like a total cop out from Circa Survive standards but we all see things from a different perspective. The name Circa Survive was an indication of a certain, unique grade of subtlety and musical tonality. This album finds them fitting into more traditional/conventional territory that I always happily found absent in their prior work. But that's just me....and a whole load of others that I've talked to. If you enjoy it, by all means enjoy it and don't let me stand in your way of that.

First of all, Scott, AMAZING avatar. One of my favorite Simpson's moments. Secondly, I'm thinking this price feels kind of high. Third, I wish this album was better. Fourth, it would be beautiful if this 180 gram version were in the same translucent blue wax from the single LP. Funny thing is, even though its over runs the normal single LP capacity for time, I find that it is actually a damn good sounding pressing but of course, refer to my third item in the above portion of the post.

Lennon FLAC vinyl rip from a nice guy at glassjaw.net http://www.mediafire.com/?a95g0ev489efqhp

I can't remember if I posted this already but DevinR is an AWESOME seller!

Did you physically go down to Third Man Records? Got my NIN Downward Spiral promo LP in the mail today and got two copies of Oceanic on Level Plane from Aaron Harris yesterday.

If I get away with all the orders I put in, I'll have five. If I get them all I'll probably want to keep two just because its my all time favorite new Glassjaw song and if anything ever happened to my ONE copy, I'd die. Gotta have a backup. The rest will be traded for others that I may not get from MD. We'll see what happens. I may end up raffling one off at cost here like some other really awesome members have been doing.

haha done and done. sucks that he ended up doing it to someone on this board. I knew it. Thank you for confirming. Tell you what, if you take it from him I'll paypal you the $41 that he refunded me to send it.

To anyone who managed to score a copy of Lennon, does your order for that one still say "Preordered" in the order status?

GONE. Can't believe what dumb luck it was for me to stumble on that shit. I just got out of the shower after having stalked the page all day checking on my order status and Stars winds up being available. I thought I was going to bed hours ago but for the first time in a long time I'm glad that I didn't.

This shit is still up. I think this is record time for one of these.

I feel like I'm part of a ridiculously exclusive club now! I'm so happy for all of us! Its still up!

Says Authorized for that order in my account order status! My Lennon Orders are still marked as pre-orders. Fuck! Maybe I should cancel one of those Lennon orders now that I have a Stars coming to me.

Oh my god I just got two !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was me! Goddamn it, I was going to post this story! It was a purple with green splatter that I won in August of last year. Got it for $37.01 and the cunt claimed that he dropped it and it got a big scratch on it. I was gonna tell him too bad and send it anyway because I fucking KNEW he was lying but I figured I should save the money anyway and I basically pussed out on putting up the fight but I'm still pissed about that. Is his eBay name msolitz? If it is, tell him to fuck himself in the face for me.

Does anyone else's order status look anything like this with declines before it states pre-ordered?

If my orders go through, I should have five coming to me. One is to trade for Stars, one is for me, and the rest I'll probably use to trade for any others that I don't get.

^That would be me, buddy!

Shit! Was just back up but I was too late to grab anymore.
