Get it now!!
^ THIS
It’s SOLID stuff!! (and Chris fit in quite nicely, I think)
I think Mesa hates BTA or something… I tried Best Buy and Hot Topic and neither carried the new album in my area. I guess I should’ve pre-ordered…
^^ Yup, thats y i just c if its in stok on ther website now, cuz they ofa free shipin on most cds.
Go back in and request them to carry it!
Yeah Phil, I think that’s probably what I’m going to have to do. I just kind of figured since the Best Buys around here carried DH’s True Defiance when it came out, that they would have also carried BTA since they are both Solid State bands, but I guess that isn’t the case.
^^ Ya, thats wierd that they didnt hav it. I had 2 call n reserve a copy of the special edition “tru defiance” the day it came out cuz the stor near me only had 2 in stok.
It’s probably cheaper to buy it online anyway. It’s only $11.27 shipped on Amazon.
I ended up finding a copy of it at an FYE in Gilbert, so I ended up picking it up there. I didn’t really want to wait for amazon to ship it.
^^ Lol, wow, i havent shopt ther in years. Ther even mor ovapriced than best buy, lol.
I just ituned it… Good stuff!
I got extremely lucky and was able to find it at a local Lifeway… That’s like a 1 in 10 chance for this genre of music
:O I’m hoping I’m as lucky. (Canada, oh, Canada….)
Dude, that’s how I was! Went to two Best Buys, and they didn’t have it. Went to Target, and nope! Went to Life Way didn’t see it, asked a lady there, she looked it up, said they had one, copy, though she went ahead and ordered more, and then I had to look through cd’s and found it hidden behind a Json “Growing Pains” cd… O.o
I have to eat my words. While I still feel that bands should change their name (or add 2.0) whenever they change the lead singer… this album is stinking fantastic. I would have given Celestial Progression a solid 5 (I have yet to do a 5 review, yet officially), but this is an easy 4 in my book.
If I heard this album without knowing who it was I’d say it was really good, but knowing this is BTA I can do nothing else but cry in the corner. This line up change is just plain sinful and I’ve got scripture to back me up! The Word says “Fools despise wisdom”, “Do not forsake wisdom”, “Wisdom rests in the heart”, “A discerning man keeps wisdom in view”, “Wisdom is sweet to the soul”, “To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom”, and “Wisdom brightens a mans face”. Excuse me now while I go cuddle with my copy of Terminate Damnation and reminisce about the the good ‘ol days.
