Could be a cool idea. I'm interested to see what the incentives are. Will they be based on how much one donates? I imagine all will be explained on the 7th.

Interesting, I'm a huge gamer and this is nothing new to me ALOT of smaller game devs use kickstarter to crowd fund their games, some fail and some blow away the estimates. Not a foreign concept. I guess the only bummer is this probably means we are at least a year away from an album being released if they are going to crowd funding for recording and mixing the album.
It sucks that in this day and age a band as talented as them would have to crowd fund an album. I certainly will contribute. Last edited by swanlee; 02-05-2014 at 11:26 PM. |

I was expecting a bit more. This is hardly "big news" that was worth waiting for.

I'm pretty excited for this, I was thinking TBM should do a Kickstarter a while back.
I will only be able to contribute a $100 via Paypal. I can't wait to see all the cool incentives. Ugh, my bank account linked to my Paypal account expired this week, perfect timing. I hope I can use a single use or pre paid visa card as I don't have a credit card either. If not I'll have to wait 3 business days to get another bank account linked.

Yeah, I'm not so amused now. I rarely like it when people say that I should be excited for the chance to give them my money. I mean, I'm fucking broke, you know?

Something like this also has a huge chance to backfire on them. If the kickstarter isn't funded and the reception is tepid does that mean the album does not come out?

I'd still donate, I'm just not really pleased with the giant secret.
They could've been like, "Hey guys, we need donations. Care to help out?" And we'd be like, "Fuck yeah! How much?" Because we love them, y'know?

They call it 'Flexible Funding' where in most cases, the campaign will receive all funds raised even if it doesn't reach its full goal.
I'm sure the album will come out regardless and in the event of the above "perks" will have to be honoured. It's highly unlikely that, with this many albums/EPs under their belt so far, TBM will just quit on a release. Bands of TBM's calibre set up campaigns like this all the time now. It's fast becoming a common & popular way of releasing records; as essentially it's "cutting out the middleman." I've recently received albums through the same methods from bands like Johnny Hollow and Obsessive Compulsive. Both associated with TBM by one degree or another and both successful with their goals. It does work! In no way are bands demanding money off fans. Like I said, the range of incentives will probably start with standard pre-orders for the album (so nothing different to you voluntarily buying it elsewhere) with hopefully an advance download if purchasing on CD, to limited/exclusive items from the TBM vault or personal band members' collections. Sure some people will have more money to spend than others but that's just life. The overall fact is you're helping out your favourite artists and it's an easy way to stay updated through the album's progress directly via the band. Rather than being given the tiny odd bit of information from record labels. I'm not by any means saying people should be feeling excited about this, or that it's the massive news everyone was hoping for but for me personally, it's as good as seeing a release date or link to buy something I've been really excited for. It's all happening. |

I'll be pledging. It wasn't the news I was anticipating, but...I think this is a good idea. I admit that I really don't like the "give us money!" aspect of Pledge Campaigns, but you know what? Even if you donate one dollar, one pound, one Euro, whatever--you're supporting the band directly. I'm all for it.

I hope they have .flac or lossless versions of the album for pledges. Do not want compressed crap if I'm paying full price.

Paypal back to working order, in record time.
Waiting patiently for the Pledge to go live. 5:00 start time
