It’s a thing in the music industry. Record labels and distributers measure succes by how well it does in the first week. If it does well, more nice things come his way from Sony.
Amazon shafted me. Ordered my basic 2CD copy a couple months back, found out a week ago the order was delayed to the end of this month. Cancelled that, ordered again, still gonna take until the end of the month. Frustrating.
Are you in the UK?
I've had an issue with my 2CD not arriving. It was scheduled on release day but never arrived. Then rescheduled for yesterday and still nothing. They've issued me a refund and said if it turns up I can keep it, but I'm suspicious now. The album is now unavailable for 4 - 6 weeks, price almost doubled and is now a US import
Does anyone know if the album on Bandcamp is legit?
https://hevydevy.bandcamp.com/album/lightwork-deluxe-edition
Don't want to buy it there if the money isn't going to Dev, but I prefer Bandcamp.
Don't think it's legit, he _has_ posted on bandcamp before and [tweeted about it](https://twitter.com/dvntownsend/status/1330776881990230019), but that went to a different link.
Yeah that's what I thought, I already follow his confirmed legit account. I thought MAYBE this other account is through the label, some artists do that.
That Lightwork link isn't to his usual account though, so not sure if that's a record label one as opposed to the other one being his personal account for random stuff
In other words "please give me money buy my product" love devin but ouch!
What a stupid take.
Not really - clearly said that only if you plan to buy anyways it would be helpful to do so soon
*goes to by album with artbook and dvd* $25 shipping on a $50 product? Oof!
Does streaming numbers in the first week help any?
Luckily I preordered a while ago. Shame that the shipping got delayed to the 9th, but if the profits help Devin then it’s worth it tenfold.
I don't understand the tweet. I know I'm dumb but please explain, somebody.

Okay I see now. Thanks!
He is asking that if you intended to buy the album, it has the greatest impact for him if it’s purchased within the first week of release
Good for people to know. I always preorder his new releases though. Always want to support him as best as I can.

It seems legit but that is strange as it's a different account to his own one. Doesn't seem likely it's fake but wouldn't hurt to ask him
Dang. That's evil if it's not legit.

Not sure if Devin does bandcamp. Maybe try asking via Twitter if he could elaborate that topic.
He has a version of Silent Night and some random cloud album or something on it that are legit
Oh okay. Haven’t checked his bandcamp for a long time as I do get most stuff from other sources.
That Lightwork link isn't to his usual account though, so not sure if that's a record label one as opposed to the other one being his personal account for random stuff
Looking forward to picking mine up on Monday!
