Ototoy seems to reject my Visa Debit card. Is Japan the only country left that doesn't accept debit cards?

Well for the UK folks HMV and Zavvi have put it up for pre-order.
The CD is between £8.85 - £8.99 and the LP is £9.99 which I think is pretty reasonable.
Btw YoYoPo I'm not breaking any rules posting that in here am I? Just let me know if I am lol and I'll remove the links! :)

All you need to do is when prompted change your iTunes store to Japan then you can download it (then you can revert the store back to the US or wherever.

Managed to get it sorted out through using someone else's credit card.I'm really impressed by this album, are UD even capable of releasing a bad album?
IT must be this electric So Cali @mosphere. Saw Uglyduckling a few yrs back in San Diego and they were so tight!!!

I'm sure there are people out there who don't like them, but I'm not even trying to hear that noise. I think critcs/skeptics/assh*les have a reason to doubt the excellence of anything. Ugly Duckling? Too cartoony. PUTS? Too throwback. etc... But what clues in people like us (and what a lot of people miss) is when you ask those critics what THEY like, and they spout off a bunch of un-original or just plain horrible stuff. (I probably sound pretty egotistical, huh?) I always hear people in the YouTube comment section wondering why PUTS and Time Machine and UD don't get more page hits, and I think it's that comfort-zone, diss-the-other-stuff mentality. If it wasn't done by the Glee cast, or Wiz Khalifa, or Black Eyed Peas, or Lady Gaga, people just get dismissive. I've seen my wife even act that way... I even tried to play tit-for-tat one time and watch a glee episode with her if she'd check out a Panacea album. It didn't fly.
But when it comes to UD, I'm even more in disbelief 'cause the albums are just so friggin top-notch. How can you NOT like them? They are excellent at what they do, and even if you aren't checking the technique, the albums are hella fun to listen to. It's like saying that the backbeat to "Billie Jean" by MJ DOESN'T want to make you dance. F*ckin' liars... Dance, sucka!
I'd say that Elevation and Endless Summer on the new album are the ones that hit me the most on that "feelin' it" level. Elevation makes me wanna bob my head and sing the choruses and Endless Summer makes we wanna take the rest of the workday off to drive to the coast.

But compared to a lot of crap out there, UD are fairly inoffensive and just about having fun. It probably takes awhile to get into them when compared to traditional hip-hop.
Elevation is definitely one of the better tracks, that and $100 Weekend are my standouts at the moment.

OK you may call old school "fun" hip hop but isn't that just the point.....they seemed to blend tight production, catchy beats and although you may call them cartoon lyrics i like the the simplicity. They are not trying to be anything they aren't and can also come along with something insightful (check End of Time). Also i can say without a doubt the show i went o a few years ago was the best Hip Hop gig i have been to bar none!!! I've seen PUTS 3 times but UD killed it for me. I took one of my friends along who is by no means a hip hop fan and within 10mins he was dancing along!!! I cannot wait to hear the new CD and just get to place where Hip Hop is just that.....Hip Hop again.

10 dollars for 14 songs is a great deal!
By the way, anyone know if the Japan cd or the vinyl have more than 14 songs?I ordered my copy through the UD website, and I was messaged that my order would be shipped out this Friday.

I got the download from Ototoy (JP website), and it had just the 14 tracks. The album is funky fresh & highly recommended.freshkest said:

On a side note, the Gold Chain and Meat Shake t-shirts in their store are great... I might have to get one.... or both.

Ordred the vinyl from HMV of all places...£9.99 inc. delivery.
Sad the money is not direct to UD, but can't afford to get every record shipped over from the US! -
