Of course that would be the best thing if we all could do so. The problem is we don't know when it gets released here (or like Magnus wrote to me: *if* it gets released...), and we don't want to wait an eternity for it do we! The web site says "March/April" for Europe, and they have already changed the Australian release from February 11th to the 25th... 
When all the Aussies, Yankees and others are raving about the new album, should we just sit here without the music and be jealous? Not me.
I actually *did* wait for 'Redneck Wonderland' to arrive to my local shop, and I think that was a month or two after the Australian release date. So sure, I could do it again but I don't want to. However I'm not going to follow Maurice's advice to buy both releases, just to "boost the sales up". Once I have the album I have it.

That means you will wait until the album is actually released, ie available in the shops?
If you pre-order the album, does it mean you will get it earlier?
