Just double checking...
According to the HTDA site it states:
"Vinyl edition will include a free white label CD of the vinyl version of the album."
So does this mean that the "white label" CD will have the bonus tracks that the vinyl does?
EDIT: I just sent Rob a tweet asking this question as well. Maybe he will respond.

I think I'll hold onto my pennies after reading this on FB:
HOW TO DESTROY ANGELSPre-order from us is coming mid-February.
When they didn't release An Omen on CD, it was their "abandoning of a dead format, finally."
Now, what?
So the song names are pretty much what we all knew, with a few changes to the sequencing. Do we know if the track lengths are the same as on the leaked tracklist? Was liking the sound of longer songs.
Updated ninwiki with both CD and Vinyl album art, if anyone wants to compare http://www.ninwiki.com/Welcome_Oblivion
It was a fucking promo release, for Christ's sake. That's what.
This is HTDA dropping a 70+ minute album with a major label. They're not going to do the hipster/no-money "no CDs only vinyl" shit.
Song struck me weirdly, but it's a good one. Video was great, too. Should've expected the "twist" mid-song, but I didn't.
At least now they have a song for Coachella. Imagine opening with that, punch the crowd right in the face.
http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/...79/howlong.png Have some full-res iTunes art, too.
Just watched the new music video, and I'm so happy the band is embracing different approaches with different directors: narrative stuff with and without the band, "homemade" performance-based stuff, etc. "How long?" really justifies the distinction between NIN and Destroy Angels better than any song yet, no? With the exception of maybe "Ice age." I really like and appreciate the pop-iness.
Where'd the CD art for Welcome oblivion come from by the way?
Fuck I cannot buy that song as an European. Dutch iTunes refuses my login code.
If someone is willing to share, please PM me.
Thanks
Having no turnatable, I guess I'll be buying the vinyl version (with the FAMOUS white label CD WITH EXTRA TRACKS!!)
Amazon UK
And apparently the Japanese release will have bonus tracks - might just be the vinyl tracks. At least, I hope. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SICP-3731
Could someone with Twitter ask Rob if the digital downloads from the HTDA store will conform to the tracklists of the respective releases? Like, basically will the vinyl digital download be the 15-track version or are the extra tracks exclusive to physical media? I really don't want to open the vinyl to get the CD out.
He said there wont be a digital download of the deluxe vinyl. No digital download of the two bonus tracks.
I asked about the white label CD and he responded with:
@Broken Spiral...thanks for the smart ass response. Nothing wrong with double checking.

Aw fuck. Guess I'll just get them through...other methods.
Thanks for answering, in any case.
At least the album art isn't grossly devoid of color this time around. I like looking at the cover for An omen, but Welcome oblivion should be much nicer to look at.
2 songs lacking in the cd? Why? I seriously don't understand this kind of shit, they seem to be punishing the fans without a vinyl player.
I was born in the 80s and grew up buying cds in the 90s/early 00s, now it seems like I should step back to buy my parent's format or just download the music (which I do, but for free, if I want to pay for a record I just buy the cd). So if I just want a damn cd, I get less tracks form HTDA, no "An_Omen" tracks nor the couple of extra tracks in "WO".
And no, I'm not going to buy the vinyl version, which I'll not use and will be collecting dust, just to get a blank cd or whatever they'll include in said version of the album, I guess I'll have to just download the vynil version from TPB and burn it on a cd-r, which means zero money from me for Trent and co, congrats.
I seriously hate this, my only hope is that those 2 extra tracks suck so much that I will feel happy buying the cd version.
^^^Lol. XD
I'll buy the cd version anyway, but I just would like to have all the tracks.
It is weird to remove two tracks from the CD version then add it to another CD version.
Y'all complained about The Fragile (vinyl) and (casette) and With Teeth (EU) and (Japan) and YZR (vinyl) and Ghosts (Deluxe) too I'm sure.
Pretty sure there weren't any differences in the tracklists for the vinyl version of Year Zero or Ghosts deluxe, just some extra tracks to play with on the multitrack DVD (one of which ended up as part of The Slip).

YZR=Year Zero Remixed.
Honestly, this doesn't bother me at all. If I'm desperate to hear the bonus tracks, I'll find a way to hear them.
