vinylized Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Screw it, I guess Amazon it is. I will say, the versions without the BC and the booklet will quickly go for insane amounts online. At this point I really just wanted to know if the US version has the book at least, but unless in willing to spend the extra $30 it looks like it doesn't matter. No, neither the US nor the european versions have that booklet, Only the Scandinavian /Swedish edition. And yes, Swedish stores are taking advantage of this, increasing their prices beyond any kind of control: from $30 to $46 in just one week... the regular version-that is, the amazon version /european versions look like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franco Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 i listened to the stream of this a few days ago. pretty good. the best part was the singing about flatulence. can't remember what song, but definitely proof that people will buy anything if it is marketed correctly.

This settles the issue for me, the import version is too rich for my blood. This one will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffthomas84 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Got my Red LP version yesterday. Very nice, loving the record, such a dark aura to it but yet so catchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundHound1973 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Got my Red LP version yesterday. Very nice, loving the record, such a dark aura to it but yet so catchy. Where did you order from? Also, how does the LP sound. Others have claimed the CD is brick walled to shit, like the Metallica DM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The Swedish clear vinyl is under 40$ shipped at Record Heaven http://www.recordheaven.net/index.cfm?x=browseSearch&ID=&iID=145590&sc=&ob=tl&so=ASC&pp=50&pn=1&sl=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 well when it was charged it was actually 44.30$ not 39.03$... prob bank fees for currency conversion or some such shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundHound1973 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Anyone hear the CD? Reports are that the sound is really bad? I bought the deluxe version with the 2 bonus songs, but now I'm thinking of returning it, not opening it and simply waiting for the vinyl to come in.

Thanks, I guess I'll keep it, it was only $11 and I do have the vinyl on the way. I just thought since I got the free download that came with the bundle, buying the CD was a little wasteful. Another reason is the deluxe CD comes with the 24 page booklet which I assume is the booklet that was included in the vinyl gatefold from Sweden.

heypeterman Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Has anyone received their download link for the mp3's? We were supposed to get that today, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Got the CD today. Its pretty loud and could definitely benefit from extra headroom but it sounds good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguts182 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I will hopefully be at this show Friday in albuquerque, I will see if they have vinyl with them, if they have a tour exclusive variant I will try and pick up a few extra if anyone is interested.

It sounds great! Haven't heard the CD version so unsure. A few people i've spoke with seem happy with it? Ordered the red version from eBay seller "diamonds2vinyl" Very cool people & good communication/shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dirt Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 No, I still have not received the mp3 download email....was that supposed to be a card in the album? Same here. I sent them an Email inquiry yesterday, and got a fairly quick reply: -- Hi, Sorry for the inconvenience that has been caused. I was able to confirm that a link to download the tracks was sent to you via an email. Please check your Junk/Spam to know if it was routed there by mistake. Sincerely, MyPlay Direct -- Unfortunately, no download link was in my spam folder, either. I think they forgot about digital pre-orders. -RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withengineheart Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The bandwagon of hating this band is getting just as strong as the bandwagon of fanboys. Totally don't get it. I definitely thought 'meh' when I first heard Opus but I never thought they were awful. Just weren't doing enough to keep my attention. This release really has gotten me to appreciate them more. They are basically a gimmick band but do it daaamn well and manage to create an atmosphere, that although unchallenging from a songwriting point of view, is captivating and dark and yeah. Fuggin epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
