Zero, although I wish I had one of each to flog on eBay!
I like buying coloured vinyl when I have the option (and when they don't cost much more than the "regular" versions) but I wouldn't buy multiple copies of the same album. |

| Haha. I'm waiting for the day Rise Above die-hards will include the full album while all other normal editions receive an abridged version. |

| Listened to a few of the songs...Ritual has a lovely hook but where´s the power? Just weird...we live in 2011, retro is cool but this takes it too far. Yet another of these retro metal bands from Scandanavia that are more hype than substance..I think Enforcer are cool but they would have ben eaten alive in the time of NWOBHM or the 80´s...good but nothing amazing either. |

That's like criticising Candlemass for not being fast enough. It's not like Ghost forgot, or tried and failed, to be heavy. Their sound is obviously very honed and deliberate, so if it doesn't work for you best look elsewhere. |

Hmm maybe you´re right it´s not for me, the songs are coolbut they sound very derivitive and deliberatley unheavy/retro..that´s my opinion but I´ll continue to listen and see if I can get past it. |

Had a similar reaction years ago when the first Witchcraft album came out... I heard it, hated it, went away from it for about 4 months and listened again and loved it. Just a matter of putting an unessary criticism out of your head, or thinking that a song should sound this way or that way and enjoying it for what it is. |

Not when the 7'' is selling for €400!
sold my black vinyl one for 80 euro which i also thought was madness but a hipster and his money are easily parted . |

| Not a fan of Ghost myself, but I'd be hard pushed to think of any lp I'd spend anywhere close to 400 quid on, let alone a 7''... |
