April 29th - HELL YEAH!

[absolutezero]

It's about time us Aussies got something before you Americans. Usually with films etc we have a delay of a couple of months, especially with the mid-range and indi films.

So in real time we will be getting the CD around 100hrs earlier. I'm sure there will be plenty of us who will be nice enough to review it for you.

By the way, I have been reading this forum for a couple of years and I finally caved in and got an account, bit hard to chat about Tool when they're not putting out new material.

See you around the boards.

[a788]

damn you aussies

[ObviousParadox]

BYOB- BRING YOUR OWN BOOYAH!

who the hell even uses that phrase besides middle schoolers? oh wait, the aussies (who are beind on everything).

[Boozy Eulogist]

All these April Threads is making me wonder if this is a Fantomas forum

[a788]

BYOB= bring your own beer

[MentalSanityOff]

Be quiet. Your original purpose was to hold English criminals, because god knows being sent to Australia is punishment enough

[a788]

i would go to australia for a visit anyday

What about...

“Convicts were sent to nine of the American settlements. According to one estimate, about 2000 had been sent for many years annually. Dr. Lang, after comparing various estimates, concludes that the number sent might be about 50,000 altogether.”

who the fuck cares. i'll have the leak before that you kangaroo.

[toocooltool]

Haha... you kangaroo's you..

[48&2]

lol, the lecture I just went to was about how Americans pretty much live in their own world and don't know anything about the rest of the world... It had a name, ah fuckit I forget...

[Metal Militia]

It'll leak online at the same time for all of us. So the official release date is pretty meaningless.

[Rubb.]

noo don't do it.

[Unstuck in Time]

I'm laughing about the Fantômas comment and about the fact that I thought that avatar featured Ian Thorpe's (!) burning head.

[absolutezero]

Well, there's Australia, then there's Tasmania. The later can't be recommended for mental health reasons.

[toolloot]

I'm going to download the album the second I can and listen to it all the way through then maybe buy it. Pirates > Aussies

at least we're shaped like a vagina.



yep...that's all i've got.

[mattw]

Edit: Back on topic, I'm liking the countdown for us Aussies - 24 days to go!

[Liam]

29th - saturday. is anything ever released on a weekend?

[MasterOfKtulu109]

exactly.


even though i won't download it

[Mr C]

exactly.

The thrill of waiting for release date, going to buy it, exploring the artwork and listening to it start to finish whenever and wherever you want makes it that much better.
When you can download an experience or feeling like that, let me know.

[Mehen]

Everything up to the first listen I like (opening it, checking out the packaging etc.). But at first listen I am always disappointed, it is usually not until the 3rd time through that I really enjoy it. Happened for Lateralus.

Still not going to download it though. My point is that a CD that will be as intricate as this one makes me more nervous than anything, because I know I will be disappointed, at least to some extent, after the first listen. There is just too much that you miss on the first listen. Same thing will happen to many reviewers out there who only get to hear it once or twice. So don't expect the early reviews, in particular the Aussie ones where it will be people who have only listened once or twice, to tell you this is "the best CD ever;" although telling this to a group of people who will buy the CD no matter what kind of reviews it gets is kind of pointless :p

[Mehen]

Oh and as for downloading an experience like that - downloading the full HD 1280x720 version of the "Pirates" porno was pretty close. Really good movie, you should check it out. CGI skeletons and everything. (and of course...)

[ARMZ]

and Tool will be hosting RAGE on May 6, refer to guestbook...

[absolutezero]

and Tool will be hosting RAGE on May 6, refer to guestbook...

I was hoping they would, that is fucking brilliant news!

[Another]

Hey this is good news.

[orange.juice]

if i get that right, that's 6 am April 28 middle European time? There's those release parties w/ midnight sales taking place in Germany on April 27. So we get it there at latest. Of course there always is the "you know somebody who works in a record store" wildcard, but that applies to every place in the world :D

[Rubb.]

23 days.

ZOMG VIGNITNGTI TEERS

[phreak03]

how long does it take to ship something from Aus to Canada, i've got a cousin who lives there she can get it and mail it to me :D

[meatstick]

by boat or plane?

[phreak03]

fed ex

[Bill_Hix]

who the fuck cares. i'll have the leak before that you kangaroo.

^ beat me to it.

[rimb]

holy crap 22 dollars

Funnily enough, us Aussies don't pay for things in US dollars...

[absolutezero]

USD $22

Well that sounds about right if you were to buy it from Sanity or HMV. Blood thursty fuckers!

[Finny]

Does anyone know any midnight releases in Melbourne? I want it late at night... not in the morning!!!

[kaiowas_is]

me too, anything in W.A?, probably not... W.A. gets shit. freakin hole.

[dissectional]

I understand we get 10,000 Gays before the rest of this backwater planet, with Utopia supposedly kicking off a slew of sales at 12:01am on April 29.

JB HIFI has announced that they may stock shelves on the 28th(?!) though either way, I'm headed for Utopia. Its bound to be bedlam. That said, I dare say I won't be twisting this album's volume to 11 until the next day though. No point harassing my neighbours at midnight and being forced to mute it within 30 seconds of having placed it in my player's tray.

Curious - where are the rest of you headed to make your purchase(s)?

[Alistair_Carson]

I have a question. Anybody leaking the album as a torrent or something on the 28th/29th?

[Hippo]

It'll be leaked before then, trst m3 m8.

I'm gonna try JB Hi Fi at Bondi and/or the city at some time on Friday the 28th. If I can't get it anywhere then I will head over to Utopia at midnight...

I was going to suggest that some us could maybe meet up for a beer or two in the hour or so before hand, have a bit of a chat etc., but I have to work (in Pyrmont) until about 11:30pm that night. Then I'll make my way to Utopia to buy the album... any other ideas?

And yes, I may wait until the next morning before blasting it through my stereo!

[paragon]

I'll also be at Utopia. I'll probably get there about half an hour early and just sit out the front 'till they open…
