We should post silent videos of ourselves rocking out to it, just to make it worse for everyone else. Oh please do that on the very 1st playthrough!

My expected delivery day is Friday to the Philly suburbs. I might have to refrain from reading the NBOS threads for a few days...

Think of the poor Europeans who are going to have to wait another 5 weeks...
Honestly, this is genuinely bizarre. In an age where everything can be anywhere in a heartbeat and most things that are out in the UK on a Monday hit the US on the following day, it's downright weird that two (two! It's not like a hundred) record labels can't co-ordinate their release schedules, especially for a release such as this that will (which I won't say as this isn't the spoiler thread).

Yeah I really don't understand the gap either, I would think they would at least keep the release dates within the same week to better combat the volume of inevitable piracy (even though you can't stop it). This may also be the first time I get an album delivered a full week before it's official release date. Also the first time I've ever gotten one before any official reviews and/or samples have been posted. Not complaining or anything, just rubbing it in

No reviews so far as there seems to be a requested block on them on this side of the pond until the August EU date, no idea what's stopped any North American press though unless it's weirdy licencing restrictions. Which I can understand why from Heavenly's point of view (publicity works better when placed as close to the release date as possible), but the internet's going to be full of talk about it after tomorrow anyway.

Does the vinyl come with a download code for the mp3's? Since I don't have a vinyl player and have to wait until the deluxe version of the album for a physical copy I am relying on a naughty download in the mean time. Hoping I get to hear Lanegan goodness in the next day or two

According to the Vagrant guy posting on here the other day, the North American one comes with a Download card. Not sure about Heavenly but they usually have a digital format of some variety in their vinyl editions.

Mine arrived today, but the download code isn't working. It keeps telling me "sorry, but this code in invalid". Is anyone else having this issue? Do you think the download code might not work until the official release date of July 29th?

Probably the case - I've had Sub Pop stuff arrive early in the past, and their download codes are locked (I guess to stop people dumping stuff on YouTube before it hits the shops) until the official street date.

Gutted, I'm going to be pissed if I get home and the code doesn't work. Don't have a record player at my house.

Just supposition on my part! Could just be that someone hasn't pressed the button yet

I wouldn't be surprised if the code was locked, makes sense from a business stand point. They still might activate it a couple of days early though as it's common for people to recieve the vinyl a few days before hand but I don't think it's that common for people to be recieving it this early.

I got my copy today and I could not possibly be happier with it! He's got another winner.
My download code also isn't working, so I'm guessing it must be a release date thing. Think my boss will mind if I set-up my record player and speakers at my desk until the 29th?

I accidentally listed to it on 33rpm, but my god, holy heaven: DRY ICED IS SO BADASS AND BEAUTIFUL and whoa, wow. Its great. I still have yet to listen to it at its actual speed. ===
Wow. He has outdone himself. I am looking forward to hearing this in a live setting and wish he would've previewed more [even acoustic] during this last set of US opening shows.

I saw that other thread and thought it was for published reviews. No spoilers here, though, as Lanegan could record his dogs barking the phone book and I'd probably still call it a winner.

Hey everybody--my download code worked! Go try yours now as they must have activated it this evening. Haven't listened yet, but really glad it worked. Thank you, Vagrant!
FYI, files are 192kbps, but that's better than nothing! Meanwhile it's time that I invest in a functional turntable...
