Will wait for the digital leak, or even buy it based on the good response it seems to be getting.

I'm abstaining until a CD release as well. I assume that's what you mean, a vinyl rip has been out there since around the time this thread was made.

I too will wait for a digital version, fortunately I've never been the most rabid of GY!BE fans so the wait is not excruciating.

I actually like the sound of the vinyl rip that I got (and of vinyl rips in general).
I may buy a CD but this album makes wish I was a vinyl geek.

CD is out.

Vinyl rips are hit or miss for me. Many times they lose too much fidelity to be worth the improved dynamic range.

I'm gonna order the vinyl once Constellation starts accepting orders again.

haha I am the only person who voted "average" :(

We regret to inform you that the following items have been delayed as we are still awaiting stock from our suppliers :

Godspeed You! Black Emperor "Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! [Vinyl]"
Estimated arrival date: October 27 2012 - November 13 2012

I was hoping that my pre-order would get me the album on its release date, which was my birthday.

I can only hope that it gets here further towards the October date then November. Mid-November would be ridiculous.

suddenly just downloading the vinyl rip doesn't seem like such a terrible idea.

Incredible album. I aboslutely love godspeed :3
