I haven't pre-ordered on iTunes yet. I can't decide if I should or not.

I'd would so much prefer having a physical hard copy.

 

Anybody else not pre-ordering on iTunes for that reason?

 

+1.

 

I'm still old fashioned. I love bringing a physical album home and reading the liner notes/lyrics as I listen to the whole album start to finish.:)

I'm only 16 and I'm somehow old fashioned, lol.

It's so much better to have a hard copy!

:P

The artist who did the cover was approached more than a year ago (January 2013).

TL: DR; There will be a vinyl. She was given access to songs/lyrics. There will be 3 singles all in all (?)

 

"(...) would loose myself in the lyrics whilst allowing my drawing to flow out onto the black surface of my etching plates."

 

What a daft way to describe the process of scratching on a metal plate =___=

 

Well let's hope the next single will be better than Magic cough

Pretty interesting information. Apparently 3 singles then. At least in principle. When I saw the album cover, I thought they maybe will cut some parts of the image and that would be a new artwork for other singles. What do you think?

 

BTW, let me share with you that I am very impressed how secretive the boys (and the label) have been on this album. Not even a radio interview today. Unbelievable. I guess that it is not the "age of crazy advertising" as Chris said in 2005.

"Lady in White" would have been a good name for a song...especially on an album titled "Ghost Stories".

 

I sense a Supernatural reference? :P

 

I wonder why it's called "Ghost Stories" ? :D

 

I thought they could mean internal ghosts...

 

Does the cover remind anyone else of a heavy metal album?

 

I like it though. I'm glad it doesn't look as glossy or childish as Mylo Xyloto. And I'm also glad they're releasing these songs relatively quietly (for a huge band with a Twitter account). I hope the album reflects that kind of subtlety. The two songs seem to. Good. :nod:

 

Edit: Oh and I really love the title 'Ghost Stories', ever since the first rumours.

 

Of a stoner metal album to me, actually reminded me of the kind of artworks from a Norwegian metal band that I love!

I agree on everything you said.
