That may have something to do with the ridiculous lack of stores that are 
carrying it.  It's not an import cd; I don't really think that it's 
unreasonable to expect your local cd store to carry it once it's been 
released.  I went to three stores last night in search of it, and my search 
yielded no bounty.  I don't exactly live in the sticks, either.  I'm not 
the only one who's had problems locating this album in stores.  And if 
dedicated followers of The Church are having a problem getting it, what 
about the casual listener flipping through the racks who presumably 
wouldn't even know about the new album any other way?  I'm not sure exactly 
what Thirsty Ear is doing to distribute this album, but it's terribly 
frustrating that an album that so many fans seem to think is the band's 
strongest release since Starfish and that is getting attention from 
reviewers might die in the water because a pissy little record company 
isn't doing what it should.  I wound up ordering the album off Amazon.  I 
would have preferred to buy it from a store.  Hypothetically, if this album 
had been released by Arista, would people still be having problems finding 
it in stores?
