42 tracks, with 4 songs across 2 discs. Heh...Arjen you cheeky bum.

You did? Have you ever seen The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

SomeoneLikeHim · « **Reply #596 on:** September 06, 2013, 01:48:15 PM »

Definitely my most anticipated album of the year.

so I hadn't checked this in a while and just got a lot of info about this at once

...I think I might die from how hyped I am for this now. Can it be late october yet?

Love the vibe I get from the titles on CD2 Phaze III, seems to be something special about that part.

Any word on who the guest vocalists are?

abydos · « **Reply #601 on:** September 08, 2013, 04:13:06 AM »

Everyone has been announced i think. Sadly, not a particular fan of any of them. Still want to hear Ray Alder on Ayreon.

I think I can make you become a fan of Tommy Karevik in about five minutes

The Theory Of Everything is set for release on October 28.

eviljust · « **Reply #608 on:** September 17, 2013, 08:59:52 AM »

Allright, now that I've listened to DT12, I just NEED to focus on this

Cyclopssss · « **Reply #609 on:** September 25, 2013, 04:14:39 AM »

Pre-order´s up! Several package deals availlable!

Sweet! I really really want that Artbook and poster....but £59.99! $:-\$ Have to think about that....

Cyclopssss · « **Reply #611 on:** September 25, 2013, 05:31:22 AM »

Yeah, it's pretty damn steep....but very attractive!

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #612 on:** September 25, 2013, 05:42:48 AM »

Arjen's documentaries are always fun to watch so I'm going with the 2CD+DVD package.

nemesiskoen · « **Reply #613 on:** September 25, 2013, 06:59:34 AM »

Just ordere the Limited Edition Artbook Bundle. Too bad there's no Vinyl + DVD + ... in there. Guess I have to order the Vinyl separately, whenever it becomes available.

The Letter M · « **Reply #614 on:** September 25, 2013, 12:38:49 PM »

If I didn't need the money this weekend, I totally would have ordered the big package of the t-shirt, poster, and the 5-disc artbook...but at over $93 USD after shipping, it wasn't feasible (especially with more pre-orders in my life coming up, like the live Rush and live DT sets coming up).

So in the end I went with the 2CD/DVD set, signed of course, and for $32.32 after shipping, it wasn't too terrible on my bank account.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #615 on:** September 25, 2013, 12:57:01 PM »

Finally, I ended up getting the Limited Edition Artbook. Vinyl sized artbook....yes please

Shadow2222 · « **Reply #616 on:** September 25, 2013, 01:26:48 PM »

Darn, I really want the Vinyl, but I want the DVD too. Ugh. I ended up settling for the mediabook package with the CD/DVD/Tshirt/Poster bundle. Such an awesome album cover, so I'm excited to be able to wear it around and hang it up!

Orthogonal · « **Reply #617 on:** September 25, 2013, 03:28:18 PM »

Really cool packages. I'm not into T-Shirts, but those do look like nice bundles.

2CD + DVD pre-order for me.

lonestar · « **Reply #618 on:** September 25, 2013, 06:44:04 PM »

Went with the low end bundle myself, signed.

Nick · « **Reply #619 on:** September 25, 2013, 06:45:24 PM »

I have his signature on a thing or three, I'll just wait to get a local version of the 2CD/1DVD set, and I'll get the vinyl if I can at a reasonable price.

Evermind · « **Reply #620 on:** September 25, 2013, 11:55:58 PM »

I'm looking at mediabook bundle with t-shirt, poster, cds, dvd and (surprise) mediabook in it. It has a nice price, about €30, but shipping cost to my country is €25, which is quite ridiculous. Probably will end preordering it anyway, since it's one of the most anticipated albums of the year for me, but damn, I mean, €25 for shipping!

Alright, my rant is over.

I actually never ordered signed things before, so can anyone clarify if the signing will be on the mediabook (looks like the most logical thing to me), on the poster (would kinda ruin the artwork) or somewhere else? Thanks in advance.

- Take one shot every time someone says they listened to The Electric Castle and loved it.
- Take one shot every time someone refers to Arjen's height
...etc

Nefarius · « **Reply #622 on:** September 26, 2013, 05:06:04 AM »

And another preorder of the big bundle. I don't know, but... Artbook! Poster! T-Shirt! No way to say no to that.

This. Just preordered myself as well

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #624 on:** September 26, 2013, 07:51:09 AM »

Aww screw it, I can't take it with me, right?

Pre-ordered the super-deluxe-special-spiffy-artbook-cd-signed-shirt thing

Nick · « **Reply #625 on:** September 26, 2013, 08:45:07 AM »

Even as a long time Ayreon fanboy I'm surprised how many of you are going all out on this, great to see!

Edit: And while I still have to nail down some details, chances are I'll be doing a special Ayreon themed broadcast of my radio show on October 30th, the Wednesday after release.

The Letter M · « **Reply #626 on:** September 26, 2013, 11:51:12 AM »

All you guys getting the big super special limited edition deluxe set with poster and t-shirt are making me SUPER jealous...

But I'll live with my 3-disc set, which will fit nicely with my other Ayreon/Arjen albums in my CD Tower, anyway, and I at least get the album and the documentary. I'd LOVE the t-shirt and poster, but ah well...

-Marc.

Evermind · « **Reply #627 on:** September 26, 2013, 12:07:24 PM »

Ended up preordering signed mediabook bundle. I'm not sure if I receive it actually (Russia is in high-risk countries zone), but oh well I hope so!

And I hope it will ship in October, not November. Especially not late November. With our post service, you never know. <_<

Pretty much this. $70 CAD when all was said and done. Yikes, but YOLO!!!

(can't believe I just typed that)

Nick · « **Reply #629 on:** October 03, 2013, 07:49:13 AM »

One of the thing that always kills the Ayreon store for me is the exchange rate. It never seems to be that good for the US, and then shipping is expensive AND it too goes through the exchange rate. In a perfect world I can see myself getting the 2CD+1DVD and then separately the 2LP for $40 shipped, which I'll be happy with.

In other news, my musical focus (or that of Mason) will be turning to churning out a review in the coming week or so.
