Not too hard to follow, eh? Well to make things a bit more confusing (not to mention disheartening for us old-timers who require a hard copy of all our albums), the best version is actually the iTunes digital version of the Deluxe Edition, because it contains THREE iTunes-exclusive tracks for those who pre-order. This raises the track total for the iTunes version of the Deluxe Edition of Memento Mori to a WHOPPING 21 tracks!

Personally I can’t WAIT to get the new album. I already have it pre-ordered and I’ll fill you guys in on all the various pre-order packages available in my next post.

But suffice it to say that this new album has been a LONG TIME in coming. I didn’t believe it was possible for a band to survive and reach such popularity using only a single debut album as a basis for FOUR YEARS before making another one. Seems insane to me. But they got to take their sweet time so I’m sure the new album will be great!
