Earlier today I nailed all 6 variants including the test press because I variant collect them (I'm a sucker)
i had to email customer service in order to get the single downloads. no clue if that triggered it or anything.
Odd, mine doesn't say that. Also, if you were to only order the digital album it says "This item is a PRE-ORDER. Deliverable via email on 1/14/22 in your choice of MP3, WAV or FLAC."
October 8 release date I read somewhere. January vinyl release sucks, but understood that vinyl plants are SLAMMED from the pandemic surge.
i'm legitimately holding back on placing an order because of this. i just dont want to spend money on something that i may not get until april 2022.
Yeah, I still haven’t gotten the single emailed to me. Shit sucks. I’m fine waiting til next year for the vinyl as long as they digitally release this record this year!
Here's the response I got regarding the single. Can't fault them for getting as much money as possible with this haha. Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, we're not seeing that the digital singles / album come with this vinyl standard. The Vinyl could come with a download card once you receive it, but we cannot guarantee this as this is a decision made by the manufacturer. However, you should be able to purchase the download separately on the storefront if you are looking to download. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we hope you have a good rest of your day!
That makes sense. I assumed the digital files would be included with the vinyl preorder. They're offering 50% off if you follow the link from the confirmation email. Going to do that now.
5 months honestly isn’t that long. Maybe in album rollout time it is but in actual real life time it’s nothing
It feels surprisingly long because we already got 2 songs in only a few weeks, which I don't mind to be honest. It will just make it harder for some to avoid listening to the rest of the pre-release singles. Makes me wonder how they're going to sustain the album campaign for 5 more months. I feel like there's enough time for... hear me out... Observatory Livestreams again?
