Jesus. They are firing on all cylinders.

I only just now noticed how The Most Cursed of Hands main theme is the same theme as the ending of King of Swords, that's awesome!

I still haven't received my Act V vinyl, should I be worried yet?

BlackInk · « **Reply #3398 on:** September 29, 2016, 02:57:39 PM »

Me and my friends haven't either. We're a bit annoyed at this point by the lack of professionality by the site we bought them from.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #3399 on:** September 29, 2016, 03:14:57 PM »

Lots of people haven't gotten anything yet. MerchNow it terrible. Like, really, really terrible. People have been complaining like crazy.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #3400 on:** September 29, 2016, 03:35:05 PM »

Yep, still waiting on mine.

Elite · « **Reply #3401 on:** September 30, 2016, 01:35:50 AM »

Glad I didn't order one then.

BlackInk · « **Reply #3402 on:** September 30, 2016, 02:33:17 AM »

They first sent us the download link for the wrong album, then sent a really weird apology (or "apologogize" as they spelt it) email. And of course, the lateness. Yeah, they're pretty terrible.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #3403 on:** October 16, 2016, 03:34:48 PM »

FINALLY got a shipping notice for my bundle. Tracking says it should be delivered tomorrow.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #3404 on:** October 16, 2016, 03:51:59 PM »

Nothing for me yet

I live in the UK as well so likely to be a while. What bundle did you go for?

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #3405 on:** October 16, 2016, 04:30:22 PM »

What's up with these labels recently being late with shipments?

I'm gonna hopefully see if it's at FYE.

I think I got the "Ultimate" bundle. It was whichever one was the most expensive.

Yep, me too. It was the Act I comic book that sold it for me. Can't wait!!

Un-fucking-believable. My friend and I ordered our vinyls together so we could split the shipping, and it finally arrived at his place today. Only problem: only one vinyl arrived. So I guess I'll be without one.

Holy fucking christ I'm mad right now. They just can't NOT fuck up everything they do can they?

How was it boxed? It could also be that they shipped them separate.

Do they do that? Seems like a weird thing to do if it's all one order. And also the shipping price thing would make no sense if they still ship it seperately.

why I've kind of retired from Merchnow.

Waiting on alternatives, even if I have to wait until 2017 for the vinyl.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #3413 on:** October 19, 2016, 08:24:39 AM »

Alright.. show tonight. Can't wait to finally see them headline. Couldn't find the album in stores, so I'll have to buy it at the show.

Always. Didn't matter anyways because my laptop finally gave out. Sucks I forgot to backup my songs.

From what I understand, at least with respect to Dear Hunter merch and pre-orders, this will not be an issue anymore going forward....

I had to buy the comic. It's pretty neat. And they were outside the venue. Casey's brother took some stuff inside for him to sign. Then he came out after a while. Asked him about some songs and he said they're kinda tired of playing church and the dime. Haha...he's so chill and laid back.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #3420 on:** October 21, 2016, 11:29:03 AM »

Lol, yeah, all 6 of them are pretty cool guys. Awesome that you got to hang out with him for a bit after the show. He hasn't been doing that as much as he used to, especially during this tour because of his throat issues.

Cable · « **Reply #3421 on:** October 23, 2016, 08:20:34 PM »

I know this has been asked many a times already in this thread probably; what album should I buy first to get me locked in? I kind of am feeling a more accessible one to start...

BlackInk · « **Reply #3422 on:** October 23, 2016, 10:40:51 PM »

Act IV will always be my recommendation.

+1

Act IV is a masterpiece

BlackInk · « **Reply #3424 on:** October 24, 2016, 01:41:54 AM »

Especially if accessibility is what you're after.

In other news, my friend emailed MerchNow about the missing Act V vinyl and they said they'd send one. Which is cool, I guess, I just think it would have been cooler had they not messed up in the first place.

So since Casey mentioned this publicly on a Twitch Stream last night, I guess I can now elaborate: Act V was TDH's last album with Equal Vision, and they're not going back to them, which also means that they're done with MerchNow (since it's owned by Equal Vision).

Train of Naught · « **Reply #3426 on:** October 25, 2016, 11:01:01 AM »

Don't think it has been announced in this thread so far, but this sounds pretty cool:

https://www.twitch.tv/theattack/v/96976551

The Attack interviewed Casey and he revealed that Act IV and V's orchestral pieces will be re-mastered into a standalone release. Not sure if it can live up to either album but it should be interesting nonetheless.

That does sound interesting. I'd give it a go.

I STILL haven't received my deluxe bundle yet (haven't even had any email to say it's shipped or anything). Has anyone else in the UK, or outside of America, received theirs?

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #3428 on:** November 02, 2016, 11:50:19 AM »

So for all y'all who are into the "story" part of the Acts albums, now that the tour is over, I've finally publicly posted the massive amounts of "Story Time" info that I've been gathering over the past few months. Tons of juicy info from Acts IV and V in particular, all available here:

Will be all over that later on tonight
