After spending the last two weeks mixing, I'm convinced 50% of the opinions on the mix have to do with the individual and 50% has to do with what you've been listening to the album on.

I feel like Sid in Toy Story. IT CAME. IT FINALLY CAME. It now occurs to me with the disc in my hand that my burn had a couple songs flipped. I've been thinking Promises Kept was Sleeper and vice versa. This hoodie completely rules, and there are no tears or issues with my poster/disc.

Once I realized it's not another Rareform I noticed it's actually a really good album. Several of the songs get stuck in my head when I'm done listening to it, which is something I can rarely say about metal albums these days.

Merchconnect just keeps getting more awesome. Not only do I STILL not have my pre-order or any shipping notification, but I get an email this morning saying that the Faceless t-shirt I ordered is out of stock and is on backorder. What company these days doesn't have real time inventory updates on their website? It's 2010 people, get out of the 2008's. 
EDIT: Wow, just found out they are holding my entire order because 1 shirt was out of stock. I'm assuming they don't want to pay out-of-pocket for shipping. What a terrible business. Their website said the shirt was in stock and in my size, so the burden is on them (ie, they are responsible for shipping when it's in stock). Best of all, none of this was communicated to me until I pried the information out of them. In fact, they told me last Friday that my order had already shipped. They are about to get an ass ripping email!
EDIT 2: Decided to be professional but stern in my email.
EDIT 3: My choices; (1) Cancel order for refund (2) Choose replacement shirt (3) Hold entire order until in stock
Really, how hard is it to just send something once it's in stock? It's the only other shirt they have that I want and my address is on file, is it really that terrible for a company to spend $5-$10 on shipping to cover their own mistake?
In conclusion, canceled the Faceless shirt order. And my ATB pre-order finally shipped this afternoon. Glad my preorder ensures that I receive the album 2 weeks after its release.

Que te jodas.
After listening to this album 90+ times, I will say it still rocks. However, I wish they turned up the bass a little bit more. I understand that the guitars pretty much ARE the bass in songs like YTWCAFWSUY and Encased in Ice, but the bass just seems a little bit dry and quiet. Depends on how you listen to it and what your settings are, but in general I wish they would have made the bass sounds a little more powerful. And To Carry You Away is still my favorite

The graphic probably could've been bigger but I don't give a shit... WANT.

Yeah, it could've. The best part of it is the back. It says "Torn between the Roots of Earth and the sky", which is part of probably my favorite song on the album.

Hey guys, got my pre-order today.
So pumped to have it in my hands 2 weeks after the release!!!!!
Money well spent I say!!!
What a caring, quality organization Merchconnect is.
Seriously though, what a bunch of fucking schmucks. Are you really going to ship 2 t-shirts, a poster and a CD in a letter sized envelope?????
Worst part, I downloaded the iTunes the weekend before last, so I don't even have some awesome new music to make me feel better (I do really like the album btw).
[rant]
They pulled this bullshit with the Periphery preorder too. The worst part is, when you email their customer service, you realize just how little of a shit they could actually give. I'm never using Merchconnect again; terrible, classless organization.

I know it's a little early, but I had to air some grievances. I'd also like to perform a few feats of strength on the Merchconnect staff.

district lines sucks. apparently so does merchconnect from what I've heard. I'd avoid both at all costs.

Yeah, I was pretty shocked they shipped a hoodie, poster and a CD in a letter sized envelope. I'm with you, bro. I'll be seeking other merch companies or buying the bands' stuff when they come through.
That's the best way to support a band.
