i just wish i would open my mail box tonight to find out that they decided to ship everything out way earl to those who preordered :D
You made me just think of something. If we pre-ordered 10C version, will we get digital downloads the day of release?
That's the way I understand it.

I don't know which will be more disappointing - these search results or the new album :twisted:

Actually, trump fung is a combination of peat moss and whatever that stuff is that's always leaking out of Julia Roberts' ladyparts.

There's a rumor going around that you'll get a little vial of it free with your order, if you went through ten club. :nice:

To be fair we have a 30 second or more clip of Pendulum, tracklist, artwork, a 3 second clip of Swallowed Whole, a single, four band member videos, and a listening party two-months before release. But in this day and age people always want more.
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

Yes they do. I want more. (We need to drop the 'in this day and age' thing, seriously.)

I guess it's the old Vine video being referred to, which we don't know is Swallowed Whole and we don't even really know is PJ.

Where's the 30 second clip of pendulum? That's not the intro to the MYM tease video is it?

I thought multiple people confirmed that they didn't hear that instrumental part during the listening party. If that is actually part of the song I'm way more excited now.
