Really?

:-\

This fan club needs to step it the fuck up.  Just keeping it real.

[sweatboard]

I'm in the fanclub and I bought three of these 7".  Why the fuck would I need a download of ONE of the songs?????

[aMillionDreams]

Yeah, still pretty glad I didn't join.

1.  Why would you buy 3?
2.  You paid 30 bucks?  What did you expect?  Hundreds of dollars worth of material? 
3.  Band is currently on tour - you expect them to crank out an Hypnosis Series Jam every few nights?

Expect more when band's schedule is calm, and have realistic expectations.  You paid 30 bucks and you're virtually guaranteed good seats at any show.

Agree the poster made it worth it, the shirt was gravy.

The shows I went to were after I got Roll Call and I was still able to get what I wanted, however I'm sure it's advantageous for bigger shows.

I didn't buy the 7" so I'm happy with this too  :D

[aMillionDreams]

The band has so much unreleased material not including years worth of live material, I'm sure they could have dug a little deeper.  Not complaining because I'm not in the club, just saying

[sweatboard]

I bought three so I could help some people out.

I'm not expecting any dollar amount of material, just something interesting or unique. 

[ophidiophobia]

Seems funny to give a gift that most of the people who received it, myself included, will still buy when given a chance. The gift is somewhat redundant. I'm happy with Roll Call, but the gift is kinda weak.

[johnnYYac]

I'll admit I'm disappointed, not because I think I'm getting shortchanged by Roll Call (I've already received my money's worth) but because it's a download of a commercially available track many fans have already purchased.  Another batch of T5 teaser tracks would be appreciated and good marketing.  Can't spoil my good mood, though.

Exactly, I don't regret joining.  I've said it before; every move the band makes is unique and seems to go farther than expected.   It's the management that's letting me down at this point.  A digital download of a song they just released to independent record stores, which people in Europe have been ordering to be shipped overseas seems pretty lame.  Along with the iTunes bullshit.  I have no interest in Mac products or in iTunes taking over my computer.   What if they just sell their next record only at wall mart?  and then offer the fan club a free download of one of the songs off it?? 

[jones]

Wal-Mart?!  C'mon MMJ has Target level class at least.

[sweatboard]

haha, I was pissed when PJ partnered up with Target, but then again they were on an independent label and trying to figure out someway to get around the machine.  You could still buy that record directly from the band.  This iTunes only release just boggles my mind. 

[aMillionDreams]

It's not their first.  I don't know why they wouldn't release it themselves but there are obviously reasons.  Itunes/Apple is not the devil.  It's actually a pretty socially responsible company, especially for the size.

[sweatboard]

     Sure, but I'm invested in this band not Apple.  Trying to spoon feed me a corporation that I have no interest in, just seems wrong.  Why bundle something with a corporation unless you were getting paid by them?  These guys can tour and live off just playing music for the foreseeable future because of their fans.  Why shove shit down their fans throats?  Just seems to be in opposition of what I thought this band was about.

I just downloaded the free gift. I have to agree with most of you about being disappointed in it. Not because I don't think I've already got my money's worth, but because this is something that I've already bought. Why would I care if I get another copy of it in .wav format?
