Oh, the 19th instead of the 20th? Gee, thanks a lot.

Really, how hard is it to get iTunes to sell a single? Or how hard is it to buy a single that's already out there. Stupid record company BS.

I feel like the ugly chick at the bar who doesn't get shit while everyone else there is hooking up with someone...

What I can't understand (and I haven't since AB III) is why they didn't sign to Roadrunner in the US as well? Surely that label has a US section too?

That's what I wonder also, but I don't want them to have to go through another label change, too much of a hassle.

This is probably a stupid question, but why do they even need a label?

Labels do all the CD promotions, album distributions, etc. But they're independent in the US, they just use EMI to distribute. The only thing EMI does for them in the US is put CDs on the shelves and on sites that sell MP3s. So I have no idea why EMI can't distribute alongside the rest of the world.

No matter really. EMI is only hurting their own sales with this.

"'Here is a link to get Addicted To Pain outside the USA.... http://smarturl.it/addictedtopain"
LMAO!!! :lol

That's an ad for a really horrible soda that's made here in Brazil... and they're famous for doing, on purpose, the worst and cheesiest commercials you'll ever watch. That's a weird strategy but they managed to make their name... in a creepy way, but they did!

This is the link AB put up on their FB for international orders. JB Hifi is the Aussie BestBuy. You can get it shipped to US for only $8. So for around $23 you get the album early, shipped and bonus guitar pick AB necklace!

F***. You guys said it was today, man. I hate being an American AB fan sometimes. It feels like we're always getting the butt-end of everything for no substantial reason.

It will be up on Itunes around 10 pm, or so. Depending on your time zone. Here in the central zone, i get new releases about 10 pm.

Shoot, only $8. That's pretty cheap for a new release on iTunes.

Notice how Cry of Achilles is only 6:30 in length, I thought it was over 7 minutes.
