A Thousand Suns (Deluxe Fan Edition Box Set)

First of all, I must say that I'm extremely excited right now, I don't know what to do with myself! All these feelings that I feel in this moment is very powerful. I feel like this every time something fun and new is happening with Linkin Park, especially now when their new album, A Thousand Suns, is just around the corner. And even closer is the release of their new single "The Catalyst", only nine days left! Plus we will get to see a new Linkin Park music video. Everything I'm feeling right now is the proof of how much Linkin Park means to me.

Today, July 24th, I pre-ordered the "Deluxe Fan Edition Box Set" of A Thousand Suns from linkinpark.com. When you pre-order from their site, you will get the single and the album digitally the moment it's ready for download via your e-mail. The box set looks amazing! I bought the "Superfan Edition" of Minutes to Midnight 2007, and I just had to get this albums' version of the "Superfan Edition".

I said to myself that I will only buy two versions of Linkin Park's new album this time, I bought four editions of Minutes to Midnight. I have the CD Edition, which Linkin Park signed with their autographs when I met them at the Meet & Greet before the concert in Stockholm, Sweden on May 25th, 2007. I have the Special Edition with CD & DVD, Superfan Edition and the Tour Edition which I bought because I wanted to have "No Roads Left". Maybe a few albums too much, but I am a hardcore Linkin Park fan! This time I will at least try to buy only two editions of A Thousand Suns.

It feels so much better now when I have written down every exciting, happy and positive feeling I have inside of me. You can watch all the details of the pre-orders below, Mike posted it on his blog.

Alrightee folks. The pre-order for A THOUSAND SUNS is here. I wanted to take a minute to give you some more details about the stuff and answer some questions.

1.) With any purchase, you get the digital version of the album FOR FREE. Yes, even if you buy the skate deck or the tee shirt, you get the album free. You also get early access to concert tickets to our shows (which means you’ll get better seats).

2.) The DVD included in the first two items is called MEETING OF A THOUSAND SUNS. It’s the best documentary of a Linkin Park album ever made. I’m not just saying that. It’s the best everrrrr.

3.) The Deluxe Box Set includes the CD, DVD, the album on two vinyl records, a print of the album art (for your wall, if you so desire), and a HARDCOVER BOOK. The book is NOT just the album booklet, blown up bigger. It’s a special book, designed for and only included with the box set. And by the way…the Regular CD, Mid-level CD/DVD, and the Box Set will all have different art booklets.

4.) Q: “When do I get everything?”
A: The second it becomes available from us to you (aka the earliest time possible in the known universe, as determined by the Sun, Earth, gravity, the speed of light, and Warner Bros. Records). In the meantime, we’ll be sending you guys a couple other things, just for fun: video clips, early snippets, who knows? But the bottom line is, you get more when you order from us directly. All you do is enter your email address when you check out, and we’ll email you a link to the stuff (such as: The Catalyst, A Thousand Suns) the moment it is ready for download.

5.) Q: I’m afraid to give my email address. Is it safe?
A: Ask the members of LPU. We don’t spam, and we treat our members with respect–we don’t sell or give away your info. In fact, my own email address is on the list, so I know the list doesn’t get compromised!

…I hope that clears up the basic questions about the pre-order on www.linkinpark.com. If you haven’t already, feel free to spread the word on Twitter, Facebook, and anywhere you go online. Thanks for your support…we can’t wait for you to hear A THOUSAND SUNS.

I leave you with this: the greatest skate deck of all time.
