thisisAB Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 ok firstly thank you for making this thread, because now I need to work out my plan! I think if I suck up to them rents that week, they'll let me skip school that one day (if it's realeased on a weekday) to buy the album. Hopefully I'll get a ride from them, but if not I'll take the bus. Now I'm about to research all of the record stores an hour away from me (by transit, including waiting times ) and I'll wake up as early as I have to, to ensure I get the album. Once I find out the release date, I must call the local HMV and ask them will they have the album on the day. If they do, awesome. If not, I'll get it the day it comes out in HMV. If for some reason the first HMV runs out of copies, I'll go to the next closest one. It would really suck if they ran out in more than one store. That's why I'll wake up as early as I need to. Once I get it (ahhhhhhhhhhhh!) I'll be staring at the album art and back during the ride home. I won't open it just yet! Once I get home, (I need help deciding here) should I open the lyrics booklet and stare and the pics (if there are any) and read the lyrics for a while? Or should I listen without touching the lyrics for a while? Or should I read and listen simultaneosly? I'll use my stereo to listen and I will listen until I feel it's enough for today. I'll upload the songs to iTunes and on my iPod the weekend following the release date. I think by that time the lyrics to all of the songs will already be on the internet so I could put the on my iPod without typing them out. If it's released on a weekend/Friday then I'll probably have a different plan.EDIT:1. Drive to a CD shop, buy the CD and listen to it while driving down the 'Autobahn' or a beautiful street at the sea... Sounds perfect, but you also have to keep in mind that you can't focus 100 % on the music, because you also have to concentrate on what's going on around you.That sounds really niiiiiiiice, but yeah you can't focus on the music TOO much
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 WHAT?? I totally forgot about Hemelvaart xD Wow, that would be so awesome.. but wait.. Aren't the shops closed then? Well I hope not x]idk....It'd be ideal if they'd release it on the 21th, unless the shops are closed, than the 20th would be best, my school's out on 13:15 that day At what day are albums usually released here?

I hope it'll be released the same day as it will be in the US.. but idk.

Ila Reto Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 well, it's release is on a tuesday so i'll wake up, go to school as usual, and hope my mom picks it up for me. which she wont. i'll cry a little, and hope she'll take me to the mall on the weekend (which she wont.)when i finally get it about a week or so later...i get it and open it. i pull out the booklet and listen to it the first time while reading the lyrics. i usually skip the song about 1:30 into it. then having my favorites set (or whichever ones are stuck in my head), i listen to those more and have them memorized 2 days later. after that i work on the other songs and have those memorized by the end of the week (or two weeks depending on the length of the album).i havent done that since...i think Kerplunk in summer 2007.of course i did with shenanigans and FHT but it was different because they didnt have a lyric booklet (which pissed me off).
Rezurgam Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Locking myself in a bunker and listening to it for 48 hours.
Rita Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'm going to rush out of school to the nearest record store, buy the CD and listen to it as soon as I get home. That is, unless it leaks.
Katarina. Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 same day in the US is Tuesday, right?Meh. than I'm out at 15:15...Huh? How do you know it's a tuesday.. we don't know the exact date, right?My school ends at 14:35 on Wednesday.. so that wouldn't be that bad either :]
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Huh? How do you know it's a tuesday.. we don't know the exact date, right?My school ends at 14:35 on Wednesday.. so that wouldn't be that bad either :]no, I mean, albums usually get released on Tuesdays in the US, right? I'm not sure, but that's what I thought..I hope it'll be released May 13 or later, preferably on a Wednesday or Friday, best on May 21 if the shops aren't closed...
klytaemnestra Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 i'm jealous of all you people who can actually get to a record store to buy it without having to blag a lift and money off someone first D=
Katarina. Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 no, I mean, albums usually get released on Tuesdays in the US, right? I'm not sure, but that's what I thought..I hope it'll be released May 13 or later, preferably on a Wednesday or Friday, best on May 21 if the shops aren't closed...I'll just go to the nearest record shop as fast as possible.All we need now is the exact release date of the album, so we can start planning soon.
pooldude256 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Huh? How do you know it's a tuesday.. we don't know the exact date, right?My school ends at 14:35 on Wednesday.. so that wouldn't be that bad either :]Tuesdays are the day new albums are usually released in the US. I believe it's Monday in the UK, though. But they might do a worldwide release day or something, where it goes out the same day everywhere. I don't know, we'll find out soon enough I guess.
permanent_insanity Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'm just going to put in my cd player as soon as I get it, and then listen to it for the rest of the day
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'll just go to the nearest record shop as fast as possible.All we need now is the exact release date of the album, so we can start planning soon. Yeah. And hoping it's not sold out already...or that my mother bought it for me (yeah...i'm dreaming a little too much)And start coughing the day before so I might, very little chance, can say I'm sick that day. (I already know that's not going to happen xD)

Yeah, we'll find out soon, but I just hope they'll do a worldwide release, 'cause I don't think it's fair if you guys in the US can get if first.
Princess Consuela Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 My plans depend on the exact date of the release. I hope I won't be too busy at the uni But generally:1. Go to the music store as soon as I can2. Go straight home3. Get myself comfy4. Listen to it without reading the lyrics first, soak up the music, Billie's voice, try to catch the lyrics5. Listen to the record reading the lyrics6. Join the GDC feast 7. Play it over and over
Katarina. Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Yeah. And hoping it's not sold out already...or that my mother bought it for me (yeah...i'm dreaming a little too much)And start coughing the day before so I might, very little chance, can say I'm sick that day. (I already know that's not going to happen xD)I don't think it'll be sold out the first day.. there're not that many people here yet that know about the new album.At least not right now I guess.I'm not going to stay home anyway, I want to go to school, trying not to think about the album all the time..
FJ Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'm going to build an acoustically perfect playback room next to my shed, buy the most expensive armchair in the world, and listen to the master tapes from Green Day themselves whilst drinking a pitcher of ice-cold Greek lager and being fellated by Salma Hayek.Or I might just chuck it on the CD player in the front room and listen to it as background noise. If I buy it.
permanent_insanity Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks! Yeah, we'll find out soon, but I just hope they'll do a worldwide release, 'cause I don't think it's fair if you guys in the US can get if first. how is that not fair? people everywhere else shouldnt get it much later than US

Nah, you'd be surprised, even if you look at the Green Day-hyve..they even posted a video with 21CB on it (it's already removed from youtube now, but still...)I probably won't be able to not think about it xDPoor people around me...
Katarina. Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 how is that not fair? people everywhere else shouldnt get it much later than USUhh.. that's what I said.

nikkih Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 wow this thread is making me so freaking anxious. let's see. it'll probably be out on a weekday. the week of the 26th would be good for me because I have exams so I'd only be at school for like a couple hours. I pre ordered so I'm assuming I'm getting it on the day, if not earlier? once I get my hands on it I'l be shakingand my heart will be racing. I want to remember the moment right before I start listening. I'll record the weather, what I'm wearing, my cholesterol level... my life will be about to undergo a drastic change. I'll grab a box of tissues (I'm seeing some tears of joy) and sit with my CD player in my room. I'll probably just listen first, and (try to) not even pick up the booklet. after I listen to it in its entirety a few times I'll go back for lyrics. when (if) I'm satisfied I'll put it in a safe place and come on here. I'll probably be up all night. ugh I want the darn thing right now.
permanent_insanity Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Uhh.. that's what I said. blond moment sorry
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 not thinking about it isnt that hardI'm always bugging people with something else XDtell us how annoyed people get with you, k?yeah, you're right..but still, you never know it with me xDi'm probably going to forget it, than remember it every hour and go all hyper until I stop myself and people are than looking weird at me that's what I always do when i'm exited.
