Why so fast it is not even the 14th yet.
No idea why, I ordered it 2 days ago from DiverseVinyl who claimed to have it in stock. Unless the indie record stores have received them early and are trying to out do the big chains by selling them before the release date.
Have to wait and see what the postie brings tomorrow ![[:)]](/emoticons/smile.gif){kind=small}

It's possible, although if Hooky's getting paid, I doubt he'd care. More publicity=more units sold=bigger payout for Hooky, and since he doesn't pay for NON, it's free publicity for him. (Which actually may be why the site is staying quiet on this.)
Granted, I have zero clue what the final deal was that allowed this release to happen, so who knows.
Their Facebook page has updates about the release, although short and curt. Intresting thing is, it also has an update on one of Hooky'a book signings. And almost a million likes, which is probably why it's more important to the management/record company than a webpage.
Just got mine from Piccadilly Records this morning. They must have had a few copies in early. Listening now. Enjoying Recoil quite a lot. I'll post a brief review in a bit. Hoping some others get copies today too!
'Give me all that i ask, some Californian Grass, bring it over to me, i want everything that i see, we could stop at a grocery store, buy a drink for a few dollars more'! AMAZING!!! Classic Barney!!

Yikes the wait is killing me , I guess I have to wait till the 14th to hear it, glad you got to hear it. Listening to the 30 sec clips. all the songs sounded pretty good to me, can't wait to hear the whole songs.
Its pretty good. A lot of it i prefer to WFTSC. If they had finished it properly as planned i think it would have been a preferable album. Seems they put the more accessible tracks on WFTSC. These are still pretty commercial sounding but a bit weirder. SO much better than Jetstream or Working Overtime. We'll all be playing the Ultimate WFTSC game now, i've started, its a bit tricky!
I'll stop going on about it, imagine its quite annoying if you're longing to hear it! Hope someone else gets a copy today, interested to hear opinions.

Thanks for your input, now I am even more excited.
Why is the release date for the U.S. January 22, according to Amazon and a few other sites? I want to get mine the 14, I don't want to have to wait for the 22nd.

I agree with you, I am surprsed that it has not leaked on the net yet.

Specially when it's quite easy to rip the songs and upload them somewhere. I'd even offer help if a fellow NOOLer was up for it. ![[rolling]](/emoticons/rolling.gif){kind=small}

I agree with you, only if someone was nice enough to.

I didn't receive my copy today, so hopefully tomorrow. I will PM you if I get it Linus
Got the album today and given it a few plays. It is ok but a bit of a nothing album , and I would say it is easily the weakest New Order album to date. The album reminds me of 'Very' by The Pet Shop Boys, it has a 1990s outdated electronic sound to it. My biggest let down is the lyrics, they are just lazy and nonsense on most of the songs. Strongest tracks are'Californian Grass', 'I'll Stay With You' ,and 'I Told You So'.
Arse. Forgot I ordered this from Rough Trade when it was first announced (however long ago that was). Hence my £18 Vinyl/CD package arrived today, and my identical (and far cheaper one) ordered a few weeks ago will no doubt arrive tomorrow!
so, some already received their copies, and yet amazon delivers only in 10 days? why did I order there? not that I expect something groundbreaking, but I'd still like to listen to it once.
So basically some people are getting it 10 days before the rest of us have a chance?
A bunch of us are sitting here like mugs with good-faith preorders ffs.
Total. Shambles.
EDIT: Cancelled my Amazon pre-order. I'll buy it directly from HMV Oxford St on the day.
and still no sign of it at the usual places on that internet everybody is speaking about.
am at a bit of a loss here, Amazon is saying the Vinyl+ CD edition i ordered in November 2011 is now unavailable, HMV say that Vinyl + CD edition deal is available but are charging about £7 more than that original Amazon deal though and not released until the 14th. Phoned a record shop in Birmingham (Swordfish on Temple Street ) and they say they don't have it.Couple of other record shops in Birmingham i haven't phoned yet (The Diskery being one). Could order from places people have posted links to but don't think i'd get it any sooner than the 14th 'cause i think they not UK... I particularly want the vinyl.Will phone those remaining other 2 records shops in Birmingham tomorrow Saturday morning and maybe take a train ride over if there's a chance of good luck
For those with an early copy, this seems like a great software to rip the songs: http://www.goodkatshare.com/kat-cd-ripper.html
I'm not saying one of you should pirate and spread it, but most of us already bought it, it'd be just so we can finally listen it.

'Very' by PSB was a lot more electronic-pop than any of the previews on that German site, so I'd say that's an exaggeration. As for the lyrics, dodgy lyrics didn't start in that time, so I don't understand why everybody's so surprised, or complaining about the lyrics; it's Bernard Sumner- what do you expect? It's so strange that a lot of people are slagging off his lyrics as if they realised just now, when there were dodgy lyrics on BL's album, WFTSC, Get Ready, etc

Got mine from the same place yesterday too. Interestingly, Amazon are now listing the Vinyl + CD version again this time for £13.66!
It's been many years since I listened to a new NewOrder album on vinyl for the first time!
BTW, is this one of those secret underground releases where no-one actually knows its out, done in a Factory kind of way? Even the record company Rhino/Warners dont mention it on their web site!
Just went to order from that Diverse Vinyl and it states they are now out of stock.Phoned those record shops in Birmingham but no luck
