I know...to tell you the truth, I feel downright cheated...I'm guessing you were there too, typing in that huge 36 digit code, waiting for the video to end to pre order it...maybe had to refresh the page for about an hour or three...and here we are on the release date with some mp3s and no CD/Vinyl/whatever...I can deal with the record store poster bonuses and everything but this I wasn't expecting.North by North wrote:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOrangeRodox6010 wrote:Let it all out...
Damn. I still don't feel any better.
Yep. I was refreshing the shit out of the site right after the news- took an hour to get the order to go through. I'm pleased with the digital files (was a nice touch to get the WAV/FLACs). But I want to hold the thing (the album:).OrangeRodox6010 wrote:I know...to tell you the truth, I feel downright cheated...I'm guessing you were there too, typing in that huge 36 digit code, waiting for the video to end to pre order it...maybe had to refresh the page for about an hour or three...and here we are on the release date with some mp3s and no CD/Vinyl/whatever...I can deal with the record store poster bonuses and everything but this I wasn't expecting.North by North wrote:AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOrangeRodox6010 wrote:Let it all out...

TL;DR I mad
I usually never pre order myself, and I've only went through Bleep for digital download codes before. Having the WAV/FLAC is really what held me together today. I was just prepared to fully form my opinion after hearing the vinyl today. I doubt I'll ever use Bleep again. I hate saying it but Amazon is probably the only reliable option.North by North wrote:Yep. I was refreshing the shit out of the site right after the news- took an hour to get the order to go through.

This whole thing just really turned me off of Bleep. I rarely pre-order anything, so I'm a little let down. Oh well, at least I have the digital files! (Trying to look on the bright side of life.)

Do that. I'd be lucky if I ever even got to step into Amoeba's parking lot.PlatrixECV wrote:Been plugging away at work but have realized mine didn't make it. Not like LA is out in the sticks. Bummer. Not that I was going to open it. Might be a good excuse to head to Amoeba and get another copy.
This is not really the point!euue wrote:eight years since their last release and a couple days without a disc are freaking you all out
This. With the exception of mine might take 28 days instead of 14. With as tightly put together as the whole marketing campaign was, Bleep's handling of the pre orders has put a bit of a damper on things for quite a few people, especially people who waited until release date to hear it. I wasn't one of those people, but I imagine they feel like idiots.Compound Candy wrote:This is not really the point!euue wrote:eight years since their last release and a couple days without a disc are freaking you all out
I am talking about paid service.
And also the fact that Bleep obviously knew the fans would have been the first ones pre-ordering, otherwise what would have been the purpose of all the codes/treasure hunt!? Bleep said they were aiming for the record to arrive "in hands" on the release date...sorry, but my order got despatched the Friday before, then I got an email warning that the shipping could take up to 14 days!! Not my definition for an "on time" service! Plus, now that I realize this crappy situation i feel fooled for two main reasons:
1 - I have ordered two copies that are still not in my hands after the release date.
2 - The money could have gone to support an indie record store (which is actually much needed) where they would give me a poster/sticker with my copy (which apparently Bleep won't do for us!)
Still, I agree...thanx for the wavs...but this was a last shot for me!
(now enjoy the music)
We love you all.

I would have worn a hole from the top of the Telepath track to Shanghai by now so it's probably a good thing.Compound Candy wrote:Not the case when you're a vinyl junkie!superuser wrote:I've listened to the WAVs of Telepath and Sick Times hundreds of times so I don't even give a f about my vinyl not coming until the 17th.
