Aaron - I could not agree more. I reached the decision not to buy the CD about a month ago when they postphoned the US release. At this point, I don't really care what the reasons are - I know initially, they said they needed more "set-up" time to promote the CD properly. What a bunch of shit! We the fans have known that they were recording the CD since April and managment and the label knew long before this. At this point, I am unsure if we will ever see the release. But like you are contemplating, I decided about a month ago not to be concerned about the release anymore and also not to be concerned with the CD or the tour in general. I have been a fan since the early 80s and have been disappointed over and over again with delays, cancellations, etc. Thanks to Napster I have heard the entire CD and think it is great - too bad the rest of the world may never hear it. Don't apologize for what you said - if anything, the band and the label should be apologizing for jerking around the fans.
