You can either listen early, or wait for the Bandcamp listening thing&#8230; whichever&#8217;s funnier. This is really just a chance for everyone to listen together through the full album as it&#8217;s intended&#8230; in one go with no interruptions or breaks. With that, we&#8217;ll be trying to hang with the chat flood as much as possible. To participate, we&#8217;re relatively sure you just have to have pre-ordered the album and click on the link above&#8230; or <a href=\"https:\/\/theprotomen.bandcamp.com\/merch\/act-iii-this-city-made-us-listening-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here.<\/a>  Also, keep an eye out for a Bandcamp email closer to Friday that should clear up any confusion about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in case you somehow missed all the emails, news page posts, and social posts prior to this and are wondering what this is all about, <a href=\"https:\/\/theprotomen.bandcamp.com\/album\/act-iii-this-city-made-us\">Act III: This City Made Us is now in the CD and Digital pre-order phase on Bandcamp<\/a> and we\u2019re releasing one to two songs a week (every Monday or Tuesday&#8230; ok&#8230; only one Monday&#8230;) until they\u2019re all out in the world (with an official album release date of January 9th). We&#8217;ve reached the end of the road here with the final song being released to pre-orderererers this coming Friday. Get your pre-order in and come listen to the whole thing with us on Bandcamp for the listening party thing!\u00a0And always remember, only the physical copies of the album (CDs, Records, etc.)\u00a0come with the libretto\/booklet that have all of the fleshed out story and incredible <a href=\"http:\/\/johndelucca.com\/\">John DeLucca<\/a> illustration and <a href=\"http:\/\/versionindustries.com\/\">Caspar Newbolt<\/a> design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you missed the previous newsletters and posts, it means you don&#8217;t know that <a href=\"https:\/\/super.magfest.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MAGFest<\/a> sold out in record time, but that you shouldn&#8217;t freak out if you didn\u2019t get a badge, because we\u2019re planning a little something here in Nashville for mid 2026 that you don\u2019t want to miss. We\u2019ll dole out more info on that as we know more details. But go ahead and clear your schedules for the entire year, because it\u2019s gonna be a big little something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And stiiiiiillllll no word on a pre-order date for Vinyl, but we\u2019re getting closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See you Friday for the finale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Commander<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WE DID IT!
