That's a dandy outlook and all, but I don't see how it makes sense from a PR standpoint. Just promotes a ton of illegal downloading from US fans.

Nope, I think it sucks too. I don't really see a reason for it and will probably lead to more people downloading it early...

Still excited for the album in general though!

It's not as bad as AB III though...that one was like a month. I pre-ordered that album from Amazon, and when it shipped to the door I forgot it was the US release day. :lol

Speaking of pre-ordering on Amazon. Just checked and it's not on there yet.

Might see it once they announce the track listing and artwork which will be next week apparently.

I thought it was pretty usual for albums to be released on different days for different regions? I don't know the reason for it, but considering major labels do it so regularly, there must be a pretty good reason for it! Anyway, there's not really much to complain about, because if it hasn't leaked before the UK date, it'll definitely be all over the internet the day of the UK release date.

I know UK usually releases stuff on Monday and US does releases on Tuesday, but a lot of CDs at least come out in the same week. It's not a huge deal, but the US getting everything 2nd with AB is a common occurrence.

So this is a week before their one-off USA show too... Wonder how the fans over there will work with the lack of officially released record

Yea Jim I was thinking the same thing since I'll be at the show on Oct 4! How am I going to know the songs that they'll play from the album if it hadn't been released yet?
