I don't wanna be the turd in the punchbowl, but so far this is "meh" to me. I really liked their last one, maybe this is a grower? It needs to grow quite a bit though, I'm just not into it, not as interesting instrumentally or vocally. Just me?

I just requested that my order be canceled. I get having distributor issues. That's cool. I don't get a company letting paying customers that ordered an album in advance sit and wait over a week after it hits the street to know their discs aren't even in their possession yet. That update e-mail should have been sent the moment they knew they weren't going to have enough copies. Also, it's 8:45 on Friday evening and I still don't have a shipping confirmation. Not cool, dudes.

In a bit of irony I had decided to cancel my preorder on monday and got the shipping notification tonight

doesn't preordering give them an insight on how many copies they are going to need when the album comes out?
sounds like they dropped the ball either way. I've only ordered shirts from them, never preordered albums.
I like the album. Don't love it, but I like a lot of the stuff that they are doing. Nice atmosphere, I think the new guy has a nice voice, but not as good of a singer as Dan. Doesn't have that lead singer/frontman presence that Dan had, instead he just kind of blends into the music, although nicely.
Some of the colder moments and non-djenty riffs remind me a bit of gordian knot in terms of atmosphere, which I really dig.
My biggest complaints is that a lot of it sounds samey and that the "album as one whole song" thing doesn't really work that well. The transitions aren't really smooth enough to give off that feeling.

Yeah I've still heard nothing. Needless to say I won't be ordering anything through them anymore.

On a more positive note, great Nocturne drum cover here!

Anyone else still yet to receive shipping information in regards to their preorder of Altered State from Merchconnection? I haven't heard anything since their email stating that all orders would be shipped by the end of that week.

My order for the 2-disc shipped on Monday. I have a bud who did a 2-disc+shirt though, and his still hasn't.
Somebody somewhere is a weak link in the chain, for sure!

Same here. I emailed them again, and got this:
Hi
These orders are still being filled. All preorders will ship this week, we are deeply sorry for the delay!
Thanks

I still haven't heard anything about mine either.
I knew what I was in for based off of Merchconnection's track record, but this is it for me, in case anyone associated with them reads this site, I will not buy from Merchconnection anymore. I've had this happen to me once before with them and they used the same "it is our supplier's who haven't given us enough, it's not our fault" which after happening so many times for pretty much every preorder, I don't buy for a second.
EDIT: Ironically it just came in the mail, so hopefully you guys get yours soon. Still way too long for a preorder.

Same for Merchconnect. I had to buy the album a second time to get my hands on it and my first copy isn't here yet... Sweet pre-order.

I am guessing that it could be that Kemper sent them something free, where as Fractal did not.im confused about this cause in the album notes the band only thanked kemper not fractal so i assumed they used the kemper exclusively on this album
