iwokeinrelief Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 He was between songs last night as well. The yelling occurred during the songs haha Haha, awesome. I heard back from someone at YGR yesterday to let me know that my order had shipped, and he indicated that their small team was basically overwhelmed by the "insane response" the album has been getting. Which is cool (not that they're are overwhelmed, but that the response has been good). Hope my copies show up tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylemcauliffe15 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Got mine today! The packaging is beautiful. Was not expecting the live DVD! Nice little surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toralexx Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Has anyone from Europe received it? It's increasingly hard not to download it haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billynomates Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I got mine yesterday in the uk. Also a live DVD included. Sounds so good on vinyl. Not keen in the song split across two sides so there's parts 1&2 like they did on the Seer but I guess it was impossible not to do that. Brilliant LP.

CaptainHerbalLife Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Which song is that? Awesome that the DVD was included with the vinyl still. I figured it would only come with the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 There was a live DVD shipped with the Seer 3xLP too I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 So this finally showed up. Packaging is minimal but so very well done. These triple LPs can be a pain to constantly flip over, but they feel so nice and sturdy when held. I did hear that the attached download code is for a 160 kbps rip. Which I find hilarious.

Neanderthal Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I did hear that the attached download code is for a 160 kbps rip. Which I find hilarious. Yeah, that's pretty shitty. I think I can say I still like The Seer more, stylistically speaking. But will continue to listen to and enjoy this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skycriesmary Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Finally received mine yesterday. Unfortunately, it arrived dog eared. Arranging to send back, get a replacement. Also interesting, no live DVD, but a To Be Kind poster was included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Looks like Amazon is estimating mine showing up sometime in the middle of next month. Going to try and track it down locally today (if it every stops raining). Still haven't listened to it, but I like hearing all the positive words in this thread, gets me more excited!

markok Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Looks like amazon.com didnt get any copies at all, since I ordered it at the day it they put it up on the site. Or they gave it a too good price and they are just stalling so people will hopefully cancel their orders (might sound impossible, but it has happened before).

Going to try and track it down locally today (if it every stops raining). Still haven't listened to it, but I like hearing all the positive words in this thread, gets me more excited! You're in for a real treat. I think this album is just as good as The Seer, but for different reasons. It really is an animal of its own nature, but [to me] it feels like such a natural progression from their last album. Looks like amazon.com didnt get any copies at all, since I ordered it at the day it they put it up on the site. Or they gave it a too good price and they are just stalling so people will hopefully cancel their orders (might sound impossible, but it has happened before). I don't mean to sound condescending at all, but can I ask why you - and anyone else who ordered through Amazon - didn't go through YGR? The label is practically ran by Gira himself, which should make it a whole lot easier to throw money at. Was the savings really that significant through Amazon? Even if I have the option to save a dollar or two, I definitely opt to hand my money over to labels like Young God, Deathwish, etc. I hope you guys get your copies sooner than later.

markok Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Im in Europe, the shipping price from Young God would have raised the price to a level where I would have to pay customs taxes, meaning I would have to pay twice as much for the record.

iwokeinrelief Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm loving this album so much - the more I listen to it the more excited I get thinking about seeing some of these played live next month. Not sure how it compares to The Seer for me, but have loaded my CD copy in my car for a refresher. GHOSTDRONES, do you know which of the new tracks they plate when you saw them?

Or they gave it a too good price and they are just stalling so people will hopefully cancel their orders (might sound impossible, but it has happened before). I actually did cancel mine not due to the delay but because I changed my mind about ordering from them as a cheaper option over my local record store. I figured I'd much prefer to support the little man. BigCorporation.com™ can suck it. When I canceled the status said, Preparing to ship, I think. They did have a great price for it but I've yet to receive a refund after canceling. Anyone have any experience with canceling Amazon orders? I reckon I might receive the refund only when they start shipping out the vinyl to others who pre-ordered? Also, your name is fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm almost certain Amazon only charges on pre-orders when they actually ship, so you likely weren't charged to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHerbalLife Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yeah, what I meant to say was, my card wasn't charged but the amount is reserved so I am unable to use it until it is freed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwokeinrelief Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Wow, really? I don't think I've even had a hold put on my card by Amazon. Haven't preordered anything from them for a while though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billynomates Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Went to see them in Newcastle UK on Friday. They were brilliant. Played 90% unreleased songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Finally listened to this yesterday. Good record. I don't like it as much as their last two albums, but still one of the better records to come out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
