I've added the Jan 29th release date taken from the German Amazon page, although I know that it may be inaccurate due to no official announcement.

We also know that the characters in the story are at least 37.5% white males.
"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God.” — Christopher Hitchens

Hey mods, I think this is the place to post this. Someone has had some fun with the album Wiki page (wrong track names and Characters section).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Astonishing

Can someone with an account please correct it.

Who comes up with this stuff? :lol
Also, it must've been a rushed edit to change 'Chosen' to 'The Chosen  One' given that there is an unneccesary space.

The German Amazon link is dead now, and "Release date" on Wikipedia reverted back to just 2016, so it's not worth having that on this page anymore.

I've removed the link, but will leave the date until further updates.
