I don't know if my most recent gripe is with Amazon or Godspeed You! Black Emperor, or GY!BEs distributors, but I pre-ordered their new LP which had the release date of 15th October and I still haven't gotten it yet. I've been told it could take anywhere up to the middle of next month.
If its Amazons fault then it's not good enough. If it's the bands fault then maybe they should announce an albums release like normal people do. Well in advance rather than start selling it unannounced at a gig then rush the release through in the two weeks after that. It's a good move in the sense that it's exciting but for a band that bang on so much about buying records and using record stores you would think they would have their distribution sorted. I could have been listening to this album for weeks now. No wonder people download.
