I checked FYE and Best Buy today and they didn't have it. 

Now if I buy it online, it won't get here for another week.  what do you think is going to happen in the mean time?  It'll be all over the internet.  I might as well just wait for it to leak

I tend to order online and then pretend its release date is a week later  ;D It sucks that its not in stores, thats the same for any non major hip hop release in the UK.

This is the first WA release that I am having trouble finding.  (I didn't even bother with that piece of shit kurupt album).

The Best Buy I went to today had The Lost Sessions the day it came out.
The FYE I went to today had The Box Set the day it came out. (they only received one copy)

I didn't think I wouldn't be able to find the DB album.

I doubt Koch pressed up many copies, you can get it on itunes now. At least they finally figured that out.

Just buy it so you know you have a hard copy on the way and then download if you see it (yeah I know bad advice, sorry Wide Awake, lol).

Honestly though, this makes the most sense, you are still supporting.

200 copies might be a little exaggerated, but you gotta admit they keep fuckin up projects, re-re-re-re-releasing shit, adding 2 new tracks and calling it a new album..

 I think I'm just going to order this off Amazon.com.  I'm honestly not in that big of a hurry for it.  It seems like a solid project if you're into r n b.  I've just never been a huge fan of the genre.  I think I'll still enjoy the production and as far as r n b goes, I like Danny Boy about as much as I could like any r n b act.  But it won't kill me to wait a week or so for the thing to ship.  I understand people's frustration though.  The same thing almost happened to me with the Snoop Dogg "The Lost Sessions" album.  The Best Buy near my town seemed to be the only place carrying it, and they only received a few copies. I got the last copy they had.  In fact, I had to take one with a cracked jewel case cause that was the only one left.  I can understand Wideawake keepiing the number of physical copies low, but I think they may need to increase the runs on these at least a little.

Some tracks sound ok but other are really bad such as Its All About U, Come When I Call and So In Love. Come When I Call is the version that's been on the WEB. It has that same loud hiss sound in it. They're putting web tracks on retail now...

Was never billed as a new Album, it was billed as a Remastered Release,with Extras.

After downloading and listening to the DB album, I decided to order it online. This is the most consistent release musically that they have put out. I'm not a huge R&B fan by any means but Quik and Devante did their thang on the tracks and I enjoy listening to it. It's a breath of fresh air from the repetitive gangsta rap lyrics. There are some issues with quality on some tracks but it's not all that bad, especially compared to some of the other stuff they have put out that sounded sub-par. I know this wasn't his death row "album" per se, but it actually sounds like an album.
