Pre Order Amputechture

What I want to know is the release date of August 22nd correct for the UK?

It is usually a different release date here, we even got a different issue of De-loused. At least it was better with an extra 'track' :)

I am going to pre order an import copy of amputechture from Amazon UK anyway. Pre-Order Yours from the states aswell!

As for the Artwork, I think it is cool. Looks like they have flipped the painting, and obviously cut the rest of it off so it is square. I wonder whether the artwork will then fold out so you see the rest of it.

There are some studio photos on the mars volta myspace.
