Mine made it to Denver today and shows as having departed there, yet still indicates a delivery for Wednesday - it's a 450 mile drive....8 hours or so. I suspect I may see it Tuesday if not even Monday.

Hadn’t noticed, but if it was in Pittsburgh yesterday, it should easily be in LA before June 5. Come on!

LoL got notice from Amerzon today shipping delivery expected June 21 to July 7.........so tonight Snood gets billed some unknown thingy - contact them and they say oh yeah Futurama has posted the transaction but will not be billed till it ships.

Was like OK........It Amerzon, easy to fix if screw up and usually can get credits if they do screw up

This one is a bit more expensive so far than some other prices..........up to 15 to 20 bux more but it was a release Snood was not willing to commit to until after hearing some reviews.

Like $20 bux higher than what I paid for it [with ImportCDs 10% discount at the time] ......... But what the heck, Snood. You did play it safe by waiting for the reviews. Now you can enjoy your retirement by Be Bopping in deluxe style

But 20 bux Snood buys a LOT of at my local Acme Supermarket where they're going for $.69 a lb.

Mine just arrived!!! Woohoo!

Oh this just makes me fuzzy all over...NOT...WAH... gotta love these first world problems

Mine came yesterday. Can't wait until no one is home later so I can blast the ever living shiiit outta this thing!!

Wow!! This 5.1 mix is unreal. I am on Soundtrack right now and had to come here and write about it. Soundtrack is in my opinion the best song they ever made and the 5.1 it is absolutely insane. The fade out at the end is sick. The use of the acoustic guitars in the rears in Maid In Heaven just made the greatest pop song ever written 1,000 times more killer.

 

[Quadzilla]

I got mine today ... 7 business days, including customs clearance. I will listen to it later, but it is well-guarded until then.

 

[Quadzilla]

I like it … a lot. It is much better than Sunburst Finish … closer to the musical style of Axe Victim, which I hope is next in line to be released in surround sound.

I agree, Quadzilla, Futurama and Axe Victim were my favorites too. I can't even imagine hearing 'No Trains To Heaven' with a good discrete and active multi-channel mix!

One look at that picture of the pristine set and I buckled.
Ordered from ImportCDs

Mine was shipped in a full-size LP mailer, so there was plenty of extra room inside. Even the combined 'efforts' of the USPS, the CCRA and Canada Post couldn't damage it.

I'm really looking forward to Futurama - the Sunburst Finish 5.1 is tremendous, and it's not even my favorite of their albums. That's Axe Victim.

Also, I don't know if anybody here saw it, but there was an interesting interview with Bill Nelson on the Goldmine website a while back.
