Well, as you saw above, Act III is here and you can pre-order it on CD.&nbsp; I\u2019d say that\u2019s pretty special.&nbsp; Don\u2019t want the CD?&nbsp; That\u2019s fine, you can just pre-order the digital album instead, but remember that the digital-only album doesn\u2019t come with the story booklet\/libretto + the amazing John DeLucca artwork. HOWEVER, if you get the CD, it comes with a digital download as well, so you get all the goods.&nbsp; If you don\u2019t want the CD for some reason, gift that thing or sell it on an Ebay or in a back alley after you\u2019ve read the book!&nbsp; Pretty neat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, here\u2019s where it gets really fun. We didn\u2019t want to go the traditional pre-order route. Instead of making you wait (even longer) until the official release date, we\u2019re going to unleash this story on the world episodically with a track (or 2) each week. It\u2019s sort of like that Alien show you\u2019ve been watching\u2026 but with sound only. And less aliens, but maybe more robots. But how do you get the new songs every week, you\u2019re wondering?&nbsp; Just refresh the Bandcamp app once a week and they\u2019ll appear. That\u2019s all.&nbsp; Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll send an email (and post on the socials) to remind you when there are new songs (usually on Monday\/Tuesday).&nbsp; You know, in case you\u2019re so busy waiting on the second season of that Alien show that you forget about us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you\u2019re wondering about the Vinyl release, aren\u2019t you? Well we don\u2019t quite know about that one yet due to replication times, and we don\u2019t want to start a pre-order and have you waiting on it till the end of time. So we\u2019ll announce those the moment we know a for-sure \u201cit\u2019ll be in our hands\u201d date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theprotomen.bandcamp.com\/album\/act-iii-this-city-made-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GET TO BANDCAMP HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye on our socials (<a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/protomen\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"facebook.com\/protomen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/theprotomen\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"instagram.com\/theprotomen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/protomen\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"twitter.com\/protomen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, etc.) and <a href=\"http:\/\/protomen.com\/#list\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"protomen.com\/#list\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mailing list<\/a> for more info as it comes in.
