Please somebody tell me how/why I'm wrong, happy to be corrected here.
To preorder the CD from the Warehouse and get it 5 days after the release date costs $20. I'll go to Plan 9 and buy it for probably $15 and get the exact same thing on the day it's released. If they threw a bonus disc in, I'd probably preorder it and just listen to it on Apple Music until it arrived in the mail.
