I've been looking forward to this album coming out for the last 4 years, so I'm pretty excited about this. 
Likewise- I went to their first night in Chicago a little more than a year ago and got a sampling of their new music. I was definitely impressed and am expecting this album to possibly be my favorite.
Although I think this is amazing how they are giving the album out for free, having people set their own prices, and then including the bonus stuff in the discbox, it kind of scares me. Each discbox is made on order. That's putting a lot of time, effort, money into the listener. It really puts into perspective their motives, if all you care about is the music- they are distributing it anyway, without leaks- its brilliant. However, it just makes me believe that this could end up being their last album.
