NEWS YOU’VE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR:

TOOL’S “FEAR INOCULUM” ARRIVES AUG. 30 VIA RCA RECORDS

STREAM OF TITLE TRACK PREVIEWS THE YEAR’S MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM

http://smarturl.it/TOOLFIs

PRE-ORDERS, INCLUDING A UNIQUE LIMITED-EDITION CD PACKAGE, ARE AVAILABLE NOW
http://smarturl.it/TOOLFIa

Here’s part of the press release in case you missed it on the Times Square Digital Billboard, sky-writing and inflatable blimp advertising over most major cities, smoke signals from the College of Cardinals in Rome, select augmented reality glasses, spirit boards and cryptically encoded in agriglyphs scattered over the beautiful English countryside:

“Continuing their affinity for pushing the boundaries of physical packaging, the GRAMMY Award® winning outfit has created a deluxe, limited-edition CD version of Fear Inoculum. The collectible offering, which was conceived by and directed by Adam Jones, features a 4” HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, charging cable, 2 watt speaker, a 36-page booklet and a digital download card. Pre-orders for both the special package and digital downloads are available NOW. The 85-minute collection was produced by TOOL, with Joe Barresi engineering and mixing the release. Barresi also worked with the band on 10,000 Days.” (NOTE: Even Buddhist monks wearing YOLO tee shirts know that!)

PRESS RELEASE FOR TOOL NEWBIES:

“TOOL formed in 1990, releasing four multi-platinum studio albums: Undertow (1993), Ænima (1996), Lateralus (2001) and 10,000 Days (2006); two EPs: 72826 (1991) and Opiate (1992) and the limited-edition boxset Salival (2000). The band has won three GRAMMY Awards®: Best Metal Performance (1998, “Ænima”), Best Metal Performance (2002, “Schism”) and Best Recording Package (2007, 10,000 Days). TOOL is Danny Carey (drums), Justin Chancellor (bass), Adam Jones (guitar) and Maynard James Keenan (vocals)”

More details, including an unboxing video, will be shared shortly.

FYI...So was at my local record store today to bring some vinyl in I wasn't listening to anymore and get some in-store credit on my account for the limited edition release of Fear Inoculum and they are doing a midnight opening on Aug. 30th!!!!! They did however mention that certain things were oversold online and distributors for our area are scrambling to secure what they can for local stores. Fortunately I have been supporting them, buying TOOL CDs, for quite some time and they are all well aware of my love for TOOL so when they do get them in my name is for sure on one! That said, for those who ordered online it might not be a bad idea to go to your local record store and secure another just in case Amazon and the like can't fulfill all the orders placed. I really hope everyone gets what they ordered but just a heads up.

Unveil now, lift away- I love that part. I love every part of the new song. Every piece. I think they've successfully grown up and over the mountain of the past to bring new material and light to the present on into a very prosperous future! NOW GO OUT THERE WEARING YOUR TOOL SHIRTS AND BRING SOME MAYHEM INTO THE WORLD! YEAH! WOO WOO WOO WOO! BLAST OFF!

Beyond elated about this pending release! I 'm off work the day & weekend of the release date. Might just have to bring some psychedelics & go camping deep in the wilderness to fully immerse myself in this one. I'm cringing about all the whiners on-line. No, there is no news of a vinyl release. If there were, it would have been mentioned. Do you actually believe you will get the response you want asking for it here...or anywhere? They have been very open about what is coming. Digital & CD on Aug 30. There is likely a future vinyl plan (which will probably have it's own unique physical features like the CD), but it has not been announced yet. Who knows? They may even have a master plan to re-release all the albums on vinyl leading up to a Fear Inoculum LP announcement (be nice to pick up 10000 days & Aenima). But, they like to keep things close to the vest. Everyone seems so impatient, demanding & entitled online. Yes, we are all "paying members". So what? It's not up to us what perks come with that. I've been able to get access to tour tickets early as an army member (although I still didn't get the presale tix as the site crashed at the time due to demand...which sucked...& ultimately being an army member didn't help there beyond allowing me early access to fail). But nothing I could do but be sad & move on. At least the membership got me some cool army swag. I like when I'm at concerts & see people in there army shirt or with an army patch on their battle vest.

Camilo Olarte
  • 8/12/19 - 4:09AM

Maynard's wife confirmed online that the vinyl is coming at a later date. I think someone asked if they'd have it at their store in Arizona. Someone else said this too. It was in ToolArchive's latest update video on YouTube.

Thirdeye 1108
  • 8/17/19 - 10:34PM

Paul, I do agree that some people's comments are indicative of just how short our attention span, and sense of entitlement, has become as a collective. I kinda feel for the ones who were not grandfathered in and have to pay annually, at least send them a different shirt each year, but, that was their choice to join and the whining is kinda amusing. Just picture very large toddlers sitting at keyboards in their soiled undies crying about something no one really gives a f u c k about and their tantrums escalate from there cause nobody is listening...I think we all want vinyl and, even though I'm 13+ years waiting for the official 10,000 Days pressing, I feel confident one is on they way for Fear Inoculum. I wear my TA shirt with pride and am patched/pinned up on my army jacket! Spiral Out and enjoy that last weekend in August, a trip in the Wilderness sounds prime stay safe.

Thank you!!!

Joel Anthony Whitman
  • 8/10/19 - 2:43PM

Fear Inoculum. The intro is so rad! Its sounds like a giant's finger thumping the needle of a giant syringe and the background bowed strings give it motion and drama! Then, the Mandala drums kick in! The song is awesome.

Thirdeye 1108
  • 8/17/19 - 11:17PM

I had the thought maybe the bowed strings sounded like a cello? Didn't Maynard's son play that? be cool if it was him contributing...Intro is fantastic and the whole song just unfolds mystically for me. Love the thought of the syringe.

Simon Dunbar
  • 8/9/19 - 11:55PM

Just ordered the Ltd Ed CD, unfortunately from Amazon UK because of localish store charging 10 pounds more and pick up only so another 10 pounds petrol and parking. Plus after been ripped off on here for membership to tool army did not really feel like spending more to get the album than I had to. I mean 50 dollars membership is fair enough for t-shirt etc but then another 40 dollars somehow handling fee for the bundle on top and then another 26 dollars on top for shipping to the UK. I mean for f... sake. And to add insult to injury I can not wear the t-shirt due to my disability after smashing both elbows in an accident so was not really bothered having it and it is not a great quality t anyway and a postcard woohoo and a keyring that looks like it cost 50 cents. Id have prefered saving the 66 dollars and just had the membership. SORRY for the rant. Really looking forward to the album, loved the 3 new tracks I have heard so far. Hopefully I will get to see the band when they tour the album in the UK. I saw A Perfect Circle twice last year and both times I was blown away by how good the performace was.

Scott Wilson
  • 8/13/19 - 3:47PM

Hi Simon I am in the UK also so share a little of your frustration regarding the cost of the new album in the UK and Europe. I opted to buy it from the US and will pay the duty myself. It will still be cheaper than the price amazon uk are charging but I will have to wait longer for it. With regard to the fan club membership You didn’t have to pay the $39.99 handling fee as well as the $26 shipping if you input the code they sent with the joining email? You also didn’t have to redeem the gifts and pay the extra if you merely wanted to become a member.

Simon Dunbar
  • 8/17/19 - 4:58PM

I`m hoping amazon reduces the price before sending it out but I doubt they will do the decent thing. As far as I know, I did input the code. Whether it did anything is another matter. It didn`t make it clear enough that I didn`t have to get the items.

Randolph Bonillas
  • 8/9/19 - 7:53PM

Just reactivated my membership, looks like I'm in for a bit of a wait to receive anything. Is the shirt one size fits all?

Jon Howell
  • 8/9/19 - 5:12PM

Any word on vinyl pressing? How about it TooL!?

Lauren Stamm
  • 8/9/19 - 11:12AM

Cheers mates! Wishing you many blessing and thank you for the beautiful music.

Dave Colabine
  • 8/9/19 - 1:42AM

Thank you so much for the new music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anna Jones
  • 8/8/19 - 10:51PM

Thank you ?‍?

Jon Kinard
  • 8/8/19 - 7:47PM

For a website that you pay a membership fee for, the lack of information is insulting.

Rafael Ramirez
  • 8/8/19 - 8:36PM

I hate to agree with you because of simply being a huge fan, as we all are here, but I agree... What ever happened to first notice, and first crack at concert events??? People like us cannot afford second market ticket prices, by the time I hear of the news. I heard of the new album news from a causual tool fan, who knew I was, hence why he mentioned it to me... otherwise I'd still be in the dark..

sorry.. just overstating my point of communication

Tiffany Byerley
  • 8/8/19 - 10:00PM

I'm with you both...however, they are heavily pushing social media for the new album. What I do expect is some exclusives for the ToolArmy.

Edward McLain
  • 8/9/19 - 1:13AM

I would (and DO ) trust the Band to do something special for Tool Army members. They had to maximize the Buzz through social media. In the End, I'm happy it's all flowing now.

Marcus Watson
  • 8/9/19 - 7:21PM

Ok, so i just tried to order cd package on amazon and it said it is sold out. So i guess im gonna misd out againn and ive been TA member since 06,not once have i gotten pre=anything or anything special. Just took my daughters to see them in Hampton VA 270 miles away and it cost me $600 for three crappy seats and $200 for a rental car.

Marcus Watson
  • 8/9/19 - 7:26PM

It was an AMAZING show of course and thank TOOL for rocking my soul for what will soon be a fourth decade for us! and second for my girls!!!

Florian Lamisse
  • 8/9/19 - 9:56PM

Totaly agree. "What I do expect is some exclusives for the ToolArmy". But no ...
just the impression that the ToolArmy members has no recognition ... no toolarmy news, no exclusive products...NOTHING

Paul Marino
  • 8/10/19 - 4:34AM

"I would (and DO ) trust the Band to do something special for Tool Army members."
I really don't think the band has anything to do with this website anymore. Whoever's running it is just out to make money, they dont care about the members. Still love the band and their music, but this site is garbage. We've all been duped.

Eleazar Pesquera
  • 8/13/19 - 5:57PM

No shit!!! I get zero notifications and you'd think we get at least first dibs!!

Lance Waldinger
  • 8/8/19 - 6:12PM

Oh...and I, too, preordered the limited edition from (sh)Amazon. Can't. Wait.

Lance Waldinger
  • 8/8/19 - 6:10PM

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to receive the membership package after joining? It's been nearly a week and I haven't heard anything from the orders department about then having shipped it. My card was charged the membership fee and the shipping fee. I want what I paid for!

Andres Mendoza
  • 8/8/19 - 7:20PM

Mine took about 10 days to arrive.

Mario Martins
  • 8/8/19 - 8:46PM

Been waiting 2 months

Lance Waldinger
  • 8/8/19 - 8:58PM

2 months you've been waiting?!? With no communication about it or anything? ? grrr...

Shayne Dey
  • 8/8/19 - 11:28PM

I’ve waited 6 years. Fair to say I’ve given up.

Chris Weiss
  • 8/9/19 - 2:23AM

Mine tells me I have to buy the package, and the discount code to make it free is invalid.... so I guess I'm not getting the stuff I already bought.

David Roßmann
  • 8/9/19 - 7:02AM

I wait about 2 months for the Membership package. Card was charged, but nothing happened…???

Paul Macias
  • 8/10/19 - 5:25PM

Mine came in less than two weeks.

Josh Morrison
  • 8/11/19 - 6:20AM

Took 2 months to Australia, and i emailed 3 times. Happy with the items though

SAM BOGLE
  • 8/8/19 - 5:04PM

VINYL PLEASE!!!

We still like "Beta" LOL!!!

Benjamin Krieg
  • 8/9/19 - 12:36AM

yes havent heard anything about Vinyl release, and agree some limited edition or first purchase options should be made available for paying members

Stefano Medri
  • 8/8/19 - 4:49PM

Made my pre-order from a local record shop! Excited!

Buck Cleveland
  • 8/8/19 - 1:42PM

I don't think I've played a song repeatedly like this in like 13 years! Thank you, TOOL.

Danny Estes

My third eye is in need of this. Thank you gents. Purchased the super cool CD, while waiting to see the vinyl release.

Michael Attilio
  • 8/8/19 - 5:26AM

No fucking way there’s not a vinyl release. TOOL Is an audiophile metalheads dream. Let alone 13 yrs in the waiting. MJK...any chance of a special LP edition?

Craig Tully
  • 8/8/19 - 2:00AM

I'm confused... the link to amazone.com wasn't indicating deluxe anything for me? Plus, I bought earlier this morning my time and it was $45 versus $30 something just now, so... IDK?

Daniel McManus
  • 8/8/19 - 4:42AM

If you preordered on Amazon, and the price dropped, you'll only pay the lower price. And my guess is that the CD option is the limited edition, versus the digital version and maybe future pressings that will not include the deluxe packaging. Hoping they put out a vinyl version though...

john hamilton
  • 8/8/19 - 12:53AM

Once again TOOL pushes the boundaries and shows the world how physical releases can be relevant. So stoked to hear the album in its entirety!! Congrats guys

Tommy Stock
  • 8/8/19 - 12:27AM

Love it! Had to wait 4 hours to hear the single but, it was so worth it. Looking forward to the full album. Great job guys!! Thanks for being apart of my life

Solidus
  • 8/7/19 - 11:18PM

Wal-Mart online is doing pre-sales for $38.

Already talked to the owner of my long time local record store and he's going to hold one for me.

And I did an Amazon pre-order just to cover the bases.

Jason Coultis
  • 8/8/19 - 2:42PM

yer its $140 here in Aus lol, so think your self lucky lol

Shayne Dey
  • 8/8/19 - 11:30PM

Try Utopia records, $109 there.

Kathleen Cousins
  • 8/9/19 - 1:04PM

Uptopia is currently sold out as of today, but they are hoping for more stock - red eye records have some for $119 and my local store ordered mine for $125

justin kachline
  • 8/9/19 - 3:14PM

you are getting ripped off if you pay more than $45 Target still has copies available.

Holy shit, First time Ive ordered a CD in years, £77 on amazon uk, hopefully the price will drop a little before release.
either way don't care have to have it. Need the vinyl too. I'm a happy homo today.

Jason Coultis

its $140 here in Australia lol, but fuck Im not waiting for the 2 weeks shipping If i bought from the states , So paying the money

Sara Palma
  • 8/7/19 - 9:21PM

Bravo! You guys never disappoint!

Ryan Hale
  • 8/7/19 - 8:24PM

Cannot fucking wait!! Is there any difference ordering via Amazon UK (for £77.60 = $94.33) or Amazon USA for $58.96 (including $13.98 AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping - 2 to 5 days)??? Seems crazy difference in price? I don't really care but if I can save by ordering via US then happy days!!

Michael Moulton
  • 8/7/19 - 7:59PM

i've a feeling all this "the others" talk (within the "fear inoculum" title-track lyrics) may have something to do with blair mackenzie blake's latest offering "the othering"

Justin Hold
  • 8/7/19 - 7:40PM

SEEEEEEEND MORE MONEY!!!

Cody
  • 8/7/19 - 7:26PM

The track is even better than I could have hoped for! Barresi is a wizard. Packaging sounds next-level. Blair is on the ball. Everyone on the Tool team killing it as usual!

Nothing in TA section for a long time.

  • 8/7/19 - 6:58PM

I have to admit I was skeptical of the audio quality of the MP3, but it sounded/sounds fuckin awesome in the 2018 Ram Sport 10.1 Alpine factory stereo. I may have to get a CD player for it though at some point. Next sound check will be a small paradigm system with crappy receiver at a house I'm rebuilding and then on to the home stereo fit with rebuilt Klipsch Heresy II speakers paired with some late 90s Paradigm towers in the ol' shack in the woods.

Jeff Wiggins
  • 8/8/19 - 1:19AM

The MP3's are better than they were back in the day. They're using a higher bit rate coupled with better compression software. I'd like to see some pics of the two channel system when it's all set up. I'm a Paradigm dealer in northern Colorado. I wanna see the old school towers.
First thing this morning my guys came to work and went straight for two channel Paradigm setup (two Paradigm 15B's with a Hegel Rost). I love hearing how many people are psyched to listen to TOOL in the best quality possible. Oh, one more thing, no need for the CD player in the Ram. When you get the CD, just rip it to your computer (Uncompressed of course) and then upload the album to your phone, and you can listen to CD quality wherever you go!

green treee
  • 8/9/19 - 12:53PM

I'm aware of much of what you're saying regarding MP3s and the cd thing. Not so sure I'll get a chance to pair the good speakers with something as fancy as Hegel Rost, though they do look nice. Some day I will get back into taking pictures I suppose, my aritistic inspiration has been a bit lacking lately. Cheers and thanks for the reply.

COSM SHOP has PRE ORDER SIGNED BY ALEX GREY
$77 plus $9 shipping. kinda not worth it. i almost cancelled my amazon pre order. but when i saw the total ring in at $88 i was like fuck that pay double for cover artist signature. I love Alex grey but dam. Can i at least get free shipping on a $77 CD?
Not very TOOL. not TOOL at all....

Jason Coultis

Mark Suska

Fear Innoculum is a fantastic song. It seems that Maynard uses his "A Perfect Circle voice" on it though, which is confusing. Not a bad thing, just wasn't expecting that.

Aaron Lockett
  • 8/7/19 - 6:56PM

Maybe that's just for one song ;)

Vinyl, indeed! Can you imagine this awesome video experience on a 12 inch screen instead of a cd size? I sure can!


Nonetheless this is good news for the army and all future cadets.

So grateful for the timing too, I knew that this tour would happen in 2020 after the 45th prez got “elected”

Big love to the Tool community!

See y’all at the shows!

Europe needs enlightening art LIVE as well. Ignorant lamers piling up. It's either Tool or stool....

Scott Madia

Yep, that’s done and DONE!

So look forward to all of the creative ideaologies about how to make your CD Cover last the longest, let it die out and only charge it when you want to display it.. NEVER leave it in the Sun, Etc!!

stupid iTunes, I preorder the album and have to now actually buy the single cuz it won't give me the damn song! I sure hope there's a 78 speed vinyl release.

undertopiate
  • 8/7/19 - 4:54PM

Yeah. iTunes are vultures like that.

I reluctantly did the same thing.

Morten Ka Asla
  • 8/7/19 - 3:54PM

Why is the price in Europe more than twice as much as in the states? US Amazon $44, European Amazon €99.99 - thats the same as $112

O D
  • 8/7/19 - 7:01PM

Move to the states, it’ll be cheaper.

Ryan Hale
  • 8/7/19 - 8:07PM

Same question here - £77.60 in UK? Do I order from US - could pay loads for courier costs but still be cheaper??

Scott Wilson
  • 8/8/19 - 3:57PM

I’m in the UK and bought the CD from amazon.com in the US. With import duty and shipping it worked out at £46. I will just have to wait a few days longer for it to arrive.

Any word on Vinyl Releases? Special Pressings? Cost? of Fear Inoculum? Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks to everyone at TOOL Army ahead of time.

Martin Stott
  • 8/7/19 - 2:25PM

Nothing about vinyl.
Iam waiting to hear info on that too.
I suspect late September/early October for vinyl.
Just a guess. But am thinking they wanna get the digital and special CD out then sort vinyl.
Which am presuming will have different art work etc.
May even complement the CD.
Like I said just guessing.
Fingers crossed it ain't no pictures disc...

Jon Brooks
  • 8/7/19 - 2:34PM

I do feel that would expected. Understandably.
I'm expecting a 4 LP set (because of the length of songs) from $80 to $100, Possibly more for special pressings.

Aaron Lockett
  • 8/7/19 - 2:53PM

3 LP set coming realise date this fall

Martin Stott
  • 8/7/19 - 2:55PM

Yeah , 3 LP minimum.
4LP if they run it at 45rpm.
I would gladly pay extra for it mastered for vinyl on 45s

Gabriel Stryker

Amazing day and month! Song is great. Got my CD pre-order.

Jeff Watson
  • 8/7/19 - 1:32PM

After waiting I had the fear of possibly over hyping it in my head. Not even close. It went way above and beyond my expectations! A Mind opening saga in audio!

Kayla West
  • 8/7/19 - 1:28PM

Yessss I love the new song it’s incredible! Just preordered the CD!

NIKOLAOS LABADITIS

What an amazing day! Dig the new song!

shorthairtwin
  • 8/7/19 - 1:14PM

I didn't see the limited edition CD option at first but then realized the Amazon.com link was the only regular marketplace that would be non-digital (Amazon Music and the remaining choices would be digital). Got my limited edition CD............OH FUCK YA!!

Chas Sourek
  • 8/7/19 - 1:12PM

How bout a little something special for your loyal TOOL ARMY FANS?

NIKOLAOS LABADITIS
  • 8/7/19 - 1:25PM

I vote for this too!!! :)

Michael Moulton

Awesome guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks

Rosanne Becker
  • 8/7/19 - 1:07PM

That special edition packaging though.... yo! Nothing like that has ever been released before as a CD package, NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Ricardo morales
  • 8/7/19 - 1:07PM

Rejoice for the 4 horsemen have returned.

David-Alexandre Despres
  • 8/7/19 - 1:06PM

This new song... so lovely. Can't wait to hear the rest of the limited edition CD, just like 13 years ago.

Rick Gleason
  • 8/7/19 - 1:06PM

The limited edition packaging sounds awesome, a definite progression from the 10,000 days packaging which was also truly innovative!

Hopefully Amazon can fulfill as they are notorious for taking more orders than available limited items and canceling months later with only a refund.

Richard Zoellner
  • 8/7/19 - 1:03PM

It's been over five years since I bought a Compact Disc... But I had to pick this one up!

James Rogers
  • 8/7/19 - 1:01PM

Really bad ass packaging! Adam, and the guys, went all out. But I want to taste the pudding. Thank you Tool for another album. And hearing how long these track lengths are. I imagine that you guys didn't hold back on anything....!

I love this band!!!

Mitchell Kinsall
  • 8/7/19 - 1:00PM

Like phosphorescent desert buttons, singing one familiar song!!!

Lance Harrison
  • 8/7/19 - 12:58PM

Will the limited CD be available in Australia through local retailers? Happy to go through Amazon but postage to Australia makes it that much more expensive. Dont get me wrong, I would spend my pay cheque on anything you put out but would like to get locally if I can. Love the opening track, EPIC, cant wait to hear studio editions of Invincible and Descending either!

Nicholas Richardson
  • 8/7/19 - 12:55PM

Oh yeah!!!

Hollie Madison
  • 8/7/19 - 12:52PM

Garrison Chabot
  • 8/7/19 - 12:39PM

I don't see a Limited Edition option. Are they sold out or is the $50 CD through the Amazon pre-order the limited edition option? Thanks

Camilo Olarte
  • 8/7/19 - 3:36PM

I'm wondering the same. Many speculate it is but the description is just the standard description given everywhere. It doesn't specify and the title sure doesn't say so either. I'm gonna wait. It's not available for pre-order anywhere else in the world, it seems. UK Amazon doesn't have it. Only digital everywhere. That's why I'm confused. I really wanna pre-order it before it sells out.

Albert Chessa
  • 8/7/19 - 12:39PM

Beautiful beyond any description. Thank you, Tool ?

Nathan Knopfler
  • 8/7/19 - 12:34PM

Is the amazon link provided, the only place that we are able to obtain the physical limited-edition cd? (currently listed at $44.98 USD).

Camilo Olarte
  • 8/7/19 - 3:36PM

Yeah, so weird. I'm gonna wait.

Lorena Garcia Poussin
  • 8/7/19 - 12:34PM

Brandon Schubert

click the link below the preorder statement. then click on amazon.com and it will direct you to the page for the physical album purchase. Read the description to understand the price.

The album will be available digitally, and in a special Limited Edition physical package that includes a CD in a tri-fold Soft Pack Video Brochure featuring a 4" HD rechargeable screen with exclusive video footage, a USB charging cable, a 2 watt speaker and a 36 page insert book and MP3 download card!

Aaron Innis

Not working for Australia either. Amazon won't ship here either. New track is fucking epic though!

Daniel O'Connor
  • 8/7/19 - 12:30PM

Amazon.com does ship to Australia, I'm in Perth and put order in already

Federico Hudson
  • 8/7/19 - 12:55PM

Daniel- For those of us outside the US, do you know if pre-ordering the CD now arrives on the 30th, or if it arrives like a week or two later?

Lance Harrison
  • 8/7/19 - 12:55PM

Is it only going to be through Amazon? Postage is huge from US, surely you will be able to order locally through JB Hi Fi etc? $88 AUD on slow mail

martin storm
  • 8/8/19 - 1:23PM

Try Utopia Records for those in Australia, I just ordered mine for about 110 bux

Harald Freidl
  • 8/7/19 - 12:21PM

Was able to pre-order the CD-box through amazon.com, which provides world-wide shipping. I usually avoid amazon but I want this as soon as possible :-D

Thirdeye 1108
  • 8/7/19 - 12:18PM

Link just takes me to digital download, have not found where preorder for special packaging edition is...not sure I completely trust Amazon one, I would prefer to order through website. Hmmmmm

Paul Macias
  • 8/7/19 - 12:20PM

Check link again. There's a new one that takes you to Amazon. It's legit!

Drew San Miguel
  • 8/7/19 - 12:22PM

Thirdeye 1108
  • 8/7/19 - 12:45PM

Will do. Thanks. 13 years ago I couldn't wait to get to my local record store for 10,000 Days...now Amazon runs the world!

Shaun Fox
  • 8/7/19 - 12:15PM

The links only lead to digital copies!! How do you get the cd bundle??!?

shorthairtwin
  • 8/7/19 - 1:17PM

Click the Amazon.com pre-order link. It has the CD.

Christy Poole
  • 8/7/19 - 12:15PM

This is a very intertwined song, I enjoyed it. But, like the others on here, I would like to know how to get a physical copy.

Jen Goe
  • 8/7/19 - 12:13PM

What about physical copy?! Anybody know?

Harald Freidl
  • 8/7/19 - 12:11PM

Both links above only take me to digital pre-orders... BUT I want an actual physical record!

My location is EU. Are you guys in the US able to pre-order physical copies?

shorthairtwin
  • 8/7/19 - 1:05PM

I'm in the US. The 2nd link contains Amazon.com which has the audio CD. All other choices are digital platforms with digital only.

Jon Valcq
  • 8/7/19 - 12:09PM

Alonso Munizaga Narvaez

Camilo Olarte
  • 8/7/19 - 12:11PM

That doesn't even say Limited Edition and it's a high price. Not available in UK Amazon. I wouldn't trust that.

Anth Simpson
  • 8/7/19 - 12:15PM
