In my hands!

Hello to all! Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

I was breathlessly awaiting April 15 as the rest of you are, until I caught a most fortunate break today. I went out on some errands today with my wife, including a stop at the (oh, dear, I have to admit it) the Wal-Mart. She sent me to the home entertainment area while she shopped for something else. There, I picked through the CDs and found SYW! I thought maybe I had the release date wrong, but since I don't, I guess some clerk just messed up and put it out before he was supposed to. Anyway, for the great price of $13.88, it's now mine, and the long, long wait is over. My wife said I was literally shaking in line, I was so excited.

It was well worth the wait. I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to it ... again and again and again. I definitely miss Christine, but there's no mistaking the FM sound. A first-class effort. You won't be sorry tomorrow.

Welcome to The Ledge!!

Did you happen to purchase the "regular" CD or the limited edition CD? If you bought the limited edition CD - I was just wondering if you had a chance to listen to "Not Make Believe" - the newest of the "unreleased" songs. :wavey:

Is the Uncut with the Mac in at Borders? I was there yesterday and they didn't have it yet.

I'm off to Wal-Mart RIGHT NOW to buy it as they stock the shelves :D

Hehe, I just got an email from Amazon two days ago saying my order (the special edition cd) is on its way. So I'm excited. :]
Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow :thumbsup:

Welcome to The Penguin and Ledge. You know, I "pre-ordered" a copy of Say You Will from the 'official site.' It's STILL not here. Gotta love all the promises that never came to be, including the one about upgrading the cd to the Limited Edition version. :mad:


Hey, you did it the right way. Congrats, and you got a better price. I'll be heading to the store later this morning. :)

I have the regular. As they say, "Oh well."

[gypsysara]

I cant wait to be near a CD player now! I got my pre-order copy in today. Im soooo excited to see the photos inside, the lyrics... now I cant wait to hear the MUSIC!

I got the poster that came with the pre-order... the quality isnt that good. Seems like something on a low-grade color printer. I collect posters and while I wasnt expecting it to be a crystal clear lithograph, I was expecting more than a dot matrix printer.

Yeah, I'm sure glad I pre-ordered my regular CD for $25 when it's only $9.99 at Best Buy. As of this moment, I still don't have the pre-ordered one, but I did get an email from the fan club reminding me, IN ALL CAPS, THAT, "AS PROMISED, THEY HAVE SHIPPED THE ALBUM BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE." Pardon my ignorance, but didn't all the retailers also get theirs "shipped before the release date?" ...live and learn...I wonder if that crappy pre-order poster you described is the same one that comes with the limited edition CD.

Well, I just got the okay to take off work this afternoon, I told them I'd be useless anyway....so at lunchtime, I'll hit the bank and the Best Buy and then home to BLAST "SAY YOU WILL!" I'm buying the DVD Audio and the Limited Edition. I think my first couple of listens will have to be the regular CD, I just may have a heart attack if I go for the surround sound DVD right off the bat.

Livia ~ I ordered mine via the nicksfix on their pre-order you printed out the form and mailed in a check or money order a month or two ago. It came from musictoday.com in Virginia I think, instead of LA where I mailed the payment to. It came in a bubble envelope with the CD and then a small poster tube inside. The poster does have their signatures but it was on the original, the sigs are only printed on. The quality again isnt that good. I wonder how you can tell all these versions differently? Id love to know if my CD was a limited edition.

Have fun this afternoon on your journey!!! :wavey:

[DrummerDeanna]

Well, got up, and got ready super-early so that I would have time to buy it on the way to my first class!!!

Oh the Excitement....I LOVE it...so far...I've only been able to listen to like the first two songs...and since I'm in school most of the day it's been driving me crazy not being able to listen!!!!

Boy, I was really looking forward to lunch today; got the Limited Edition CD at a music outlet store. I had a gift certificate, so though it was $24.99, I didn't care. I'm just going through it now. I haven't heard the bonus tracks yet, but I love it. I am so glad to hear Lindsey's songs sound so much like his demos. I'm very happy with this CD. I haven't heard a bad song yet.
