For what it's worth I use Spotify and it's pretty easy functionality at a good price. Works for me

Cheers guys. I like the sound of tidal for the sound quality so might trial that for a month and see how it goes. Just need to make sure it has all my favorite artists and its easy to use. Can you just make playlists up out of any random artists on there?

I wouldn't sweat it about the catalog. Unless you're into quite obscure artists, they're all much the same. The main reason I like Google Play is the upload function, and that's probably more for bootlegs than unlisted artists.

You can make Playlists on all services. Most of them offer curated playlists, some curated by real people, some by algorithm. GPM for example has a "Tool Radio" type function, that will play what it thinks are related artist to Tool. mileage varies on this, and I find I rarely use playlists that aren't created by myself anyway.

Most of them will give you suggestions on artists you might like, and will also give you info as to new releases.

If you sign up to Tidal Premium the free trial only last half a month.

From what i gathered Roon Labs are the best streaming service out there, they have something to do with Tidal, maybe partners. A lifetime subscription cost around 550$ and the yearly one around 120 from what i recall.

You have to pay extra for Roon Labs, separate service form Tidal.

Roon Labs sounds cool, yet almost entirely unnecessary.

Have the tool magazines revolver and guitar world hit the news stands yet??

Not in my area. Hoping this week but there's only one retailers that even stocks them.

Revolver is 13th i believe...

Guitar World on stands in TN.

I predict album of the year! Judging only by FI. Both D/I are great songs live but they will not compare to the studio version I suspect. I'm absolutely floored by the production of FI. FEAR INOCULUM WILL BE EPIC!

Looks like amazon may have oversold the preorders on the limited edition. I ordered 2 right when they went on sale, and got an email confirmation the same day for my order for 2 CDs. Then I received another email yesterday stating my order was scheduled for delivery on the 30th......but only for 1 of my orders. The other order is still pending. A friend of mine who preordered later in the day received no email yesterday. Anyone else seeing the same?

Ordered one, scheduled for second week of September. Which is as shipping said when I ordered.

Bought it first thing from amazon got an email saying delivery on the 30th. Paid for 2 day shipping.

I also ordered from target and haven’t heard anything from them.

Edit; target order says sep 2-4

Amazon UK - Arriving 3rd Sept.

But I have a feeling that many outlets still don't know much on the special packaging yet so they are probably un able to pin point anything

Amazon USA - Estimated arrival date: September 04

Granted I am in the states, but I got a notice of first day delivery. I am hearing conflicting things elsewhere too. I wonder if international orders are more prone to delay or cancellation.

My US order got an email yesterday saying 8/30 delivery.

Scheduled for delivery on 8/30 as well. I ordered on 8/7 about an hour after they went live. I signed up for a 30 day Prime trial and got free shipping, too.

Yeah I also placed my order very soon after available.

I didn’t listen to Invincible and Descending, i have a question for those of you who did, which track is your favorite out of the 3?

Descending

That's a tough one, because I really like Descending & Invincible but I think I'd go:

Invincible
Descending
Fear Inoculum
