Just pre ordered the super deluxe. Gonna finally make use of my vinyl player which has been collecting dust for over a year

Yeah sorry, no leaks yet of this stuff. We used to be so pro-leak but I mean this is the first thing the band has done in over 3 years, let it ride out. Announcement is likely this week with the preorder. Let's have some fun with it. The band and their mgmt have been so classy and kind to us, the last thing we'd do is let all the leaked stuff flow freely over here. Not trying to act like a dictator but just wanting to let things happen like they intended. We're about to get everything

 

Last thing we want is the band or their team to say "damn everyone got all of the leaked stuff from LPLive and posted it everywhere online"

Good point. I completely understand that. And sorry for the fake Part of Me leak earlier. I'll avoid doing that kind of thing in the future

Interesting

Weird? Why? Even Recharged started its promotional campaign two months before. 

The difference was that Recharged was a completely new remix album and this is just a re-release, albeit with new material.

Am I the only one who finds it kinda weird there doing this whole promotional campaign now? The re-release doesn't come out until October. It's still early-August. Like, let's be real here: it's just a remaster of an album with new material, and while that's cool, does it really deserve a marketing campaign two months in advance? Maybe late-August or sometime in September, but giving it all this build up is a little weird imo

I also have some hopes for a Frat Party part 2 kind of thing because I can't recall the snippets from the mails being out anywhere. A retrospective documentary about the album and its cycle would be a cherry on the icing of the huge ass nostalgia cake.

The thing is, as far as I'm concerned, the band never recorded any footage inside of the studio during the making of HT. The basically started producing Making-Of documentaries with Meteora because they wanted to show their creative process, and as Mike hinted in Get Me Gone, disprove that they were a studio-manufactured act. You can see in the beginning of Making of Meteora Phoenix is talking about how Mike came up with the idea for the album, which to me implies it was really the first time they thought about doing it.

Obviously there might be some promotional photos of the band inside the studio but I doubt there's any footage, let alone enough footage to constitute a documentary.
