Elsie pre-order on iTunes with 30 sec./90 sec. previews

Just noticed the Elsie pre-order on iTunes and there's a 30 second preview of every song.

It's sounded dark and it's sounding good.

where? i can't find it anywhere.. Can you post the link?

I've just checked on my phone and it works on the UK iTunes store.

Ah okay, there's nothing over here on the states' itunes

you can change your region in the iTunes store by scrolling down and clicking on the flag on the bottom right.

I found it kind of humorous that these were up given Brian's last blog post. I realize that was complaining about people hearing a song that wasn't intended to be released early but the point remains the same, people are hearing only part of the songs.

I'm leaving it until I can hear the full album, I never really give in to the 30 second clips just because they annoy me.

thank you! can't wait for class to end so i can hop on and hear these samples

Oh my Elsie I 'm in love with your 30 second clips!!!

sounding great, but now I see why this is indeed not a Gaslight Anthem album

Yes I agree I'm glad Brian did The Horrible Crowes this album is going to something amazing can't wait to hear these songs live

Those samples sound amazing, especially Sugar and Go Tell Everybody
The songs do sound like the night time music Brian described beforehand.
This record is going to rule. I can't wait to hear it

Yes the night time music bring it on , Cherry Blossoms & Blood Loss are ones I wanna hear now !!!!

The cool guitar lines on Crush must be from Alex R!

Yeah Brian really is eating his words on this. Kind of funny considering how worked up he got about hearing everything out of context. I mean there is nothing more out of context than a 30 second clip, much less an album full of them. It's not like Brian wanted this probably, it probably wasn't even his decision to make, it was sideonedummy's. It really does just reinforce the thought that once a piece of art is done it really is out of their control as far as how an audience takes the songs.

Go tell everybody is sounding real tight.

I like that one very much.

also I don't think you can prevent iTunes from getting those 30 sec previews so nothing wrong with that..

I doubt anything in the age we live in while remain completely under wraps anyway...

Maybe Brian wrote the blog in reaction to hearing that these previews would have to go up. Who knows.

I really have nothing to add what's already been said, but man- thanks for pointing out you can change your store's region! Never knew that.

Basically, it all sounds perfect.

The entry is titled Radio Radio and starts with "Dear DJ...". It's 100% about some knucklehead playing a song he wasn't supposed to have and not about iTunes previews.

Just 30 seconds of Blood Loss cause some eye condensation. How wonderful this is going to be. :]

These clips sound absolutely amazing! I think this is going to be the album of 2011

to be honest ive never seen a preorder on itunes give you clips of songs except if there was a single or two released from the album prior. I think this is an itunes f-up. of course im not usually on the uk version of itunes.
