Would you feel comfortable going to buy Chromatica in store on May 29th?

[The Fame 4,192]

Yes, I'm not afraid. I will definitely be snatching up my physical copy and listening to it all day. <3 Can't wait!

Sure. I mean, it's still bad where I live, but at the end of the day we just have to learn to live with the virus and ressume our 'normal' lives sooner that later. Just be very careful 

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

Yes and it's always so exciting to see the new album on the shelves. But I already bought an autographed one.

I pre-ordered a signed copy that comes with a digital download, so I probably wouldn't go out to buy the Target special edition (hoping that those who do will share the three "exclusive" tracks online) regardless of the pandemic. 

But since I am sheltering in place with my parents who are high-risk, I probably wouldn't make a trek to Target just for a CD anyway. If I went, I'd want to pick up groceries and toiletries while there to make it worth it. Ultimately though it would come down to how things are at the end of the month.

No. At the moment we’re still in lockdown in the U.K. and going to a music store to buy a CD isn’t really essential when you can buy the physical copies online.

I’ve left my house 4 times since 19th March - only for essential food/medication because I don’t want to get corona and die thanks

Yes. The lockdown is over in two days here in France. Most of shops will be opened. 

Yeah but we're not allowed to curculate

I want to comment on this. I don’t trust streaming services as a source for music because any moment they could remove what it was you listened to and you could have no way of listening to it again. Even take “Do What U Want” for example, I still have the album and that song isn’t taken away from me. Also a few of my favorite artists have removed their music from platforms by personal choice. 

aside from that, one of my friends is a pretty big artist and she told me she’s made thousands by selling albums, and the money she’s earned from streaming/digital sales has barely reached $100. If you want to support your favorite artists, buy their albums 

[MissKombucha 308]

Yes. Based on the serology tests globally (NY State, LA, Santa Clara County, the expanded PCR tests in Iceland, Germany, and the results from American prisons and homeless shelters) which have been able to assess the spread of the virus and detect how the virus is most commonly presented as an asymptomatic presence, the mortality rate is closer to 0.5-0.1% — basically about the rate of a bad flu or car accident — Yes I’d go. Plus there’s no avoiding the virus anyways we’re going to catch it eventually 

[DC 25,164]

I mean unless my dad takes me to the store, there's no chance I can even get there so 

[Sneaky Oliver 22,174]

Yes *BUT* lockdown is just starting here in Brazil.

Bolsonaro said “so what if people are dying? I can’t do miracles [to bring them back to life]” and that he’s not aware of the number of deaths because “I’m not a gravedigger”... 

sorry for the off topic comment but it makes me really mad 

[GagaArt 119]

When I buy it, I will listen to it everyday until my neighbors are exhausted from having a Little Monster Neighbors

True, i find it kinda weird to get a physical Cd and just slot it somewhere not touching it :Cryga: i think i'll get iTunes ver.

[JazzGa 14,621]

Yep, I still go to the store for groceries, so I don't see any reason why going to Target for Chromatica would be more dangerous than that. Plus in my state, record shops and little indie stores will be open again so it will be nice to support them and help them out. You can even call ahead and they'll bring it to your car if you don't want to go inside.

I would, as I've gone to Target almost every weekend for essentials, but not sure that I will buy a physical copy.  Will the deluxe be available online? Otherwise, I purchased the signed copies. 

Yes! You can pre-order the deluxe version on Target's site.
