as usual
The STRIFE cd will not be available anywhere so I will have to order and wait. I dislike the way things are in the music industry anymore. Things were
so nice when you had a shop within a 40 mile radius that you could always go to for the goods. The bullshit these days with with itunes and shit. It
sucks. I WANT THE REAL THING. I WANT TO READ THE LINER NOTES. I WANT A REAL FUCKING CD ON THE RELEASE DATE.

Why don't you preorder? The cd is available for three weeks now from the label. And then you would have it on the release date.

unfortunately, that's the way things are now. not enough people are going to the brick-and-mortar stores to buy the physical product, so they stop
carrying it. you either buy digital or order online. i'm a frugal motherfucker, so it always surprises me how people are willing to constantly pay
shipping fees for something they used to be able to buy in person with relative ease.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

i like these preorder option because sometime come nice goodies or exclusive shirts with it. this relatives postage for me. when i buy the lp or cd in
a store and order a shirt right after, i pay the same postage, so i can combine it.

The few preorders I have used the item always arrived later. I get the cd 5 days after its release. I miss the days of hitting a store early and being
able to find what you wanted. Now when you hit a record store they look at you and say shit like "Strife who" "Sick of it all? What a strange name" or
"Bad Brains?" with a stupid face look. Back in the day, record store ownership was a profession and the owners new the product.

I am very interested in this album and will most likely just dl it from iTunes.
I used to take off work on Tuesdays to hit the record store. I'd go in right as they open, buy the disk, head home and drink beer while I listened,
read lyrics and liner notes. Even when I had an apartment, I'd still just got sit in my bedroom and do this. I'd get band names from the liner notes
then wait for them to release albums. Man, it was always an adventure.

I never purchased an mp3 file. I just can't grasp the concept of forking over money for something you physically can't hold in your hands. I still buy
CDs and vinyl. If it's only a digital release, I refuse to pay for it.

^^^ Nice memories for sure. Something about having the actual cd from a destination. It was like a search and rescue mission for your identity. Bring
it home and hopefully be blown away by some good tunes. I dropped them in the tape deck or cd player of the car. Blasted that shit with friends the
whole way home. I remember doing that with the first STRIFE cd as a matter of fact.

I buy cd's online because even with shipping from the U.S. it's cheaper than buying it at a store. Most of the chain stores don't carry the majority
of the stuff I want, and while Toronto has a couple of decent record stores I'm usually not in the mood to deal with the drive and the traffic. If I
buy from the label or the band it's, for the most part, cheaper.
