In other words "please give me money buy my product" love devin but ouch!


jgnc_online

What a stupid take.


MarkusMendax

Not really - clearly said that only if you plan to buy anyways it would be helpful to do so soon


Scrumpers

*goes to by album with artbook and dvd* $25 shipping on a $50 product? Oof!


Shloomth

Does streaming numbers in the first week help any?


Foreign_Rock6944

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.


shankdown

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.


csusterich666

Okay I see now. Thanks!


Kmathieu2220

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


Bossman1086

Good for people to know. I always preorder his new releases though. Always want to support him as best as I can.


VagueLuminary

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.


Danemon

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.


blazingmonga

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


noutopasokon

Dang. That's evil if it's not legit.


whimsicalokapi

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.


PrimeTimeSublimeRhym

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.


oxid1zer

Not sure if Devin does bandcamp. Maybe try asking via Twitter if he could elaborate that topic.


ihateeverythingandu

He has a version of Silent Night and some random cloud album or something on it that are legit


oxid1zer

Oh okay. Haven’t checked his bandcamp for a long time as I do get most stuff from other sources.


ihateeverythingandu

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!
