The 2nd Law boxset

[Niall]

I was around 80% sure...the thermal ink and better-than-CD flacs sold it to me. I hope they're well mastered though. Not too noise war ravaged. And I hope my little on-ear Sennheisers can actually make use of that!

I think this will be the best produced/mastered muse album so far.

Raises hand. thought process was pretty much "ZOMG SHINY want" (although the idea of a future vinyl collection is kinda nice too. if only i had a record player >.<)

You're not the only one

And it costs an extra 30 or so pounds for it to be delivered securely, where I live.

Even the CD/Dvd combo costs around 32 pounds for me (320 Rand- to make it sound really expensive)

I don't think I'm going to be able to get the money up before it sells out

Pre ordered it yesterday. That thermal reactive lid is too cool to resist.

Nope, can't afford it. Getting the DVD/CD instead.

I would, but I bought the In Rainbows box set. It looks beautiful but the music's mostly duller than an audiobook of Iain Duncan Smith reading the complete works of Jane Austin. It now sits in the corner of the spare room way back at my parent's house, gathering dust.

If they re-release Origin Of Symmetry as a box set, then I'll buy that. If not, then as cool as the artwork looks, I think I'll pass.

I might regret it down the line, and there might be something really amazing about it... but I was just struggling too much trying to come up with the extra money, and after hearing Madness yesterday, I know I would really hate myself if I spent that much money and wasn't happy with the album.

I would gladly take that off your hands, no joke

I ended up settling for the vinyl in the end. I like to have the vinyl as a sort of decoration/collection kind of thing. xD I was tempted just to get the box set but £60 is a hefty sum for something that I'll probably end up storing away after I was bored with it. xD

For the original £40 (plus shipping), I'd be happy to sell it. Maybe I'll put it on ebay eventually.

[Minimal]

It does seem though, that the deluxe box set is not limited edition, so it should still be selling long after the album is out (just like the Resistance box set which is still available).

So I guess I can wait until the album is out to decide whether to buy the deluxe or standard edition.

But I think I'll stay away from the Softpaks after the horror show that happened to my Resistance Softpak. The glue holding the softpak together melted and stuck both CDs to the pack. It was awful.

I would too

[Edeslash]

Just purchased it. Where can I download the Unsustainable video? I didn't receive a link or anything (yet).

Yeah. That'd be awesome. CD, vinyl, making of interview DVD, instrumentals, better than CD lossless. I'd pay for that.
