what else do you see in that crystal ball of yours? clearly, you know exactly how well Postcards From a Young Man is going sell.

Ugh, just saying man this isn't going to be THB or EMG and I think most would agree.

that's pretty much my logic when I say I'm not going to buy it. I feel bad making the assumption that it won't be one of their best albums without giving it a chance, but...

I'd imagine there'd be a picture up of what the contents would look like for the uber-expensive deluxe edition, at least from afar, at some point? I can't see why people would buy it without having seen whether it was worth that kind of cash, although what's included does sound curous...It seems like it would be announced on the Manics official site itself when released as well, so I'm holding off on passing judgment until there are more details, apart from the fact that 95 pounds is almost certainly too excessive.

I hope they didn't come here. or if they did, I hope they don't care about all the shit that's been written about them.

its actually way smarter to make a package like this as affordable as possible because way more people would be likely to buy it where as smacking a rip-off price like 95 pounds which is 200 dollars australian and american means that hardly anyone will buy it. this is just sheer stupidity. its not about marketing a product because of its worth its about making it affordable so that you get your return back tenfold.

It's 200 Australian?! Man, I don't feel so bad about ours, then.

I've been considering it all day, and I think I'm definitely going to get it. I don't know why, or what it is about it, I just... Fucking... HAVE TO HAVE IT.

It's Manics fever. You're in the "freely spending money because IT'S A COOL MANICS THING" phase of it. Watch out, it's a potentially lethal disease!

Oh, no, no, I'm just chucking a couple bucks a side after every shift. Not like an impulse buy, I have plenty of time to think about it and pick a retailer ha ha

95 pounds is the equivalent of double in australian and us dollars. so its the same but the figures change. ..

its too expensive for an album nobody has heard yet.

It's still gone, but there's a standard vinyl version up there for £17.99. I really hope the 'deluxe' edition is gone forever, such a pointless rip-off release.

I'll probably get the standard version + the singles bundle. Haven't preordered anything yet, though. My lack of interest is starting to worry me a bit.
