Which version(s) of the new album did you pre-order?

[kirksnosehair]

I'm planning on getting the vinyl version, although when it says the album comes with a download link, it says just for FLAC, and while FLAC is the superior format, Itunes won't support it... so does it come with a regular format as well?

Those are easy to convert to MP3

Okay, well that settles any worries I might have had.

If they included the lyrics in those, I might go for it.  But I don't think they do.  Dream Theater is one of the few bands I like to sit down with each new album along with the lyrics for the first listen.  I pre-ordered ADTOE and didn't get it in the mail until 11 days after the release date.


You know that old saying:  "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice....I'm a fucking idiot for letting you    "

Ah, okay. I usually don't care if I check out the lyrics right away anyway.

It's most likely CD quality.

I fail to see the "high quality" in that...
But perhaps they're going to sell it on HDTracks (like they did with ADTOE) and the LPs include a coupon for that?

I'm sure they will sell it on there, but I doubt that's what the LP coupon is for.

Most people consider CD quality to be the standard, and as such, "high quality" is probably comparing to MP3 quality.

Well no, CD quality can be much higher than MP3 quality.

Anyway, I pre-ordered the Vinyl/Digital. The box set has some neat stuff in it, but not $125 CAD neat.
I may also pick up a CD or CD/DVD copy on release day too if I find one in store for a decent price.

Did not pre-order. Will wait for release day.

If I don't have the money to buy it on Monday September 23 then I will listen to it on Spotify until I do.

Box set, just like the last ones to comes out.  Thought about it for a minute, and then it all made sense...
