I keep checking the board to see if anyone has opened theirs yet. The art is so cool. It's a mix of the slip, the fragile, and with teeth. Dr. Manhattan is distorted like reznor is in with teeth. The back cover is such a tease... It's basically all the unreleased rumored tracks over the years...just do it, she bleeds through.
Yes, I ordered from Amazon during the pre-order, it arrived today. When I get home, I'll try figure out a way to post pictures. Definitely the best art of the 3. It has a warning sticker on it that says to something about PTSD and that it can cause an event, kinda reminded me of the broken mono speaker warning, I'm pretty sure it was a throwback to that.
I tried taking photos, the wrapping is creating a terrible glare.

First: How did you get it so early? . Second: it's so freaking cool.
Just Do It is finally released. The Actual Events, lol.
Nice to see The Way Out Is Through and The Eater of Dreams also exist in the Watchmen universe.
Wait, is that the actual track-listing for Vol 3? Is Life on Mars not on Vol 3?
I'm guessing its the track-listing in the Watchmen universe which fit in with the sleeve notes etc rather than the actual tracks?
That's certainly how it was for Vol 1.
I've lost track... when do these normally hit streaming, is it the middle of next week?
I made the mistake of ordering Vol 2 & 3 together...
Any significance to the Turkish track name (B4)? It translates as 'alone', apparently
So Peter Christopherson is part of NIN in that universe. Murphy is Peter? James? Someone else?
Edit: Recorded 85 - so probably Peter

Man, I want to hear VOL 3 so bad.
Also - I know that's part of the point (It being an alternative history of NIN where a lot is familiar) but that (great) design is so Rob he practically deserves a credit here
"The Crater"? Hanbury Crater?
I fucking knew that the blurred image of the cover looked like Dr. Manhattan's head!!

I can’t wait to read whatever lore comes with this. Will we get an entire fake discography listing? If this was recorded in 1985 but is marked Halo 10, does that mean Trent and Atticus are older in the Watchmen universe, or did they just join tNIN after Peter Christopherson and Peter Murphy formed it?
Someone on Twitter asked Rob if he had any involvement given the fact this art references elements of his past work. Rob replied saying he was not involved.
They did a good job of emulating (or re-appropriating?) his style. Looks like With Teeth merged with The Slip. I love all the references in the fake track listing. Can't wait to hear it!
