Anyone else waiting for hear the new record?

The first listen is really important to me; I usually end up connecting most with the first way I consume an album. And, with albums I know I’m going to spend a lot of time with, I always tend to wait until I get a physical copy where I can just sit with it and really digest it without a screen in my face.

And, honestly, I’m poor as shit so I can’t really afford ~$20 in shipping, so I’m just waiting for it to show up in my local record store so I can pick up a copy. Local record stores could really use the business now anyways.

So, is anyone else also waiting? I’d be curious to hear.
