Which tracks from the albums won't be on the Target release?

Ok much better today.

My review of the site:

Content - All three albums stream and you can download tham either in Mp3 (320 kps) or wav. I suggest Mp3 as the wav file is a little tricky for some and 320 kps is a great bit rate.

You also get a T-Shirt. Access to tix through your account(there were some last night for 77 each...I did not buy)

There is also a place where you can get to video content and pictures. Apparently there is some rare footage. They all stream and you can't down load them. I was unable to watch due to the choppyness, that I am attributing to the high traffic last night. They are all arranged in an orb like structure that's hard to navigate.

Hard to navigate. I think it sums up the site pretty well. I had feared he might do this and not make it straight forward ala the Myst type of things I was hearing about the site. I can imagine that the only ones who will endure this is the Fans. Casual fans will be very very confused. For 77 bucks some things should be straightforward like... Where to download the albums and where to sign up or tix. Other issues..

First off having the site unlock with clues? This will turn away any casual fan as they won't know how to unlock the site.

Second, the browser issue! Seems like you need to use certain type of browser to get it to work and you got to clear out that cache to sign up. I have noticed that if I exit my browser, I am unable to get back in...or it very hard to do so, like it still thinks you are in there.

Third, It's difficult to find the albums if you don't know what you are looking for. FOr 77 bucks, I want to get my $$$ worth right away and was freaking out because the site was all glitchy.

My verdict....wait til the site gets more stable. You're not missing out on any extra content because it's not working proper. Get the disks at target if you need the music. Sorry, until there is a tour announced, I can't recommend spending 77 on what's there now. Unlike the others, I think we will get more content for free. 77 is pretty steep for 3 CD's and access to tix you gotta buy anyway. It may be streaming, but I think some audio nuggets will turn up for download.

Honestly, that was totally my plan and I got sucked into the excitement last night.


I have serious buyer's remorse today.

Ok I thought I ordered the T-shirt but I have not received any conformation. Has anyone? Did anyone get charged for shipping for it? I am worried!

Right but the site said that the shipping charge was for overseas orders. Has anyone in the US purchased the T-shirt?

anyone know if they will offer unreleased tracks for download with the new website. Maybe I'm a fool, but when seeing the 77 dollar pricetag, I assumed that would be a focal point, and as a fan, it would be truly incredible.
