It's funny the admitted it was a typo. I would have stood by it.
"The music was played in 2017, so we put that date on it even though it is the 2016 single. We made an artistic choice, and are not particularly concerned about the opinions of the internet."

I got mine yesterday. 
Also, we got a double one year after they missed a year. Maybe the next one will also be a double?

Alive sounds great, lovely to hear it with its original tempo.
The other song is meh, but I understand why they included a Chuck Berry song. I'm wary of older bands doing rock'n'roll heydey covers because it feels, to me, like they're running out of ideas.

I get that for $20. Fine with me. I have a wishlist for membership, and I posted it earlier in this thread, but tossing in an extra $20 for $40 of stuff, most of it limited edition? Fine.
I've been an analogue member since they became a thing and only ever got 1 t-shirt.
Don't you just get an opportunity to purchase a t-shirt? Rather than actually get a t-shirt as part of your membership?

Had the same feeling with Last Kiss, but they redeemed themselves with solid recorded output after that. I chalked Leaving Here up to being a tribute to The Who for a benefit album - two tributes in one.stip wrote:last kiss -1999nomorecrackpipes wrote:Alive sounds great, lovely to hear it with its original tempo.
