Vinyl purchases on Amazon typically add the album to your Amazon Music library day and date.

HDTracks it is!
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Sounds good enough to me. I can't tell the difference.

PJ site?
Amazon?
Other?

I would want digital as soon as available (and physical copy mailed to me also ASAP whick makes me think I may wanna rule out PJ site)
Bammer, go with:

Easy Street
Bullmoose
Amoeba
Plaid Room

Indie shops exclusively dealing with shipping albums, so you won’t run into Amazon reprioritizations. I’ve never had a problem with preorders from any of these. You can do a preorder and in-store pickup with Easy Street on day of release, and they are also currently doing home deliveries in their van for orders over $25 in King County. You may be a bit far out though.

That was just my guess. It lined up with how many songs we hadn't heard and days until it releases. At this point I don't think we're getting another single.

I'm still intrigued by the fact that this was mastered in Dolby Atmos and the fact that the theater experience got cancelled.
If they went through that process then a physical BR release would be the next logical step right?

Are they hinting at something more that's imminent? I haven't seen their social media today.

The streaming quality on Spotify is adjustable.

I have mine set on "very high", which is the highest quality option. According to Spotify, it's equivalent to 320kbps.

I'm picky and I don't have an issue with the quality, at least for streaming purposes.

My understanding is that Dolby Atmos has almost no home consumer application unless you have a dozen or so speakers.
