I couldn't care less as long as the tracks are good, which I think these are (and much better than anything since Oceania)

I enjoyed parts of Oceania and on the whole I loved Monuments to an Elegy. Shiny and Oh So Bright did literally nothing for me though...

Like Cyr.... But LOVE The Colour of Love. Sounds fresh, which I don't think I've said about a pumpkins release for 10 years.

Already 100x better than anything on Vol 1. Really hope they haven't put out the best tracks first and were treated to a killer album

I really hate it when this board gets bumped.

We all did stupid things when we were 21 but I don't need a reminder twice a year

Their three first albums are perfect !

Ahhh music is so subjective. First Impressions is not only my least favourite Strokes albums but one of my least favourite albums of all time. It's horrible and unlistenable (outside the first three tracks).

Angles and Comedown Machine, and The New Abnormal are infinitely better. And of course, their first two are flat out masterpieces.

Damn. Hopefully somewhere in Australia gets the indie version. I have all the coloured versions of their other records be devastated to miss out/have to pay flippers on this one

What's everyone's thoughts on Dance of the Clairvoyants?

250 left. Seems the sales have slowed. Not even 7am here in Australia though, should be a few Aussies that wake up and snaffle a few. Be very surprised if there's any left in 5 hours.

This album is awesome though, very easy purchase imo

This is my favourite release of his since Little Hell. Really solid. Astronaut is comfortably the worst song on the album and probably my least favourite City and Colour song of all time but outside of that this is pure bliss

One of the greatest albums of all time? 

Yeah I put a bit of mayo on that one 😂

But it's still soooooo much better than anything else they've put out for.... A very long time

The White Album is confusing because it's all over the place but...

Personally, I think "Do You Wanna Get High?" is the only good song on the White Album and the rest is trash.

Interesting. I don't think there's a bad song on it. LA Girlz and California Kids are definitely up there with my all time favourite Weezer tracks though

The White Album is so confusing.

I don't understand how a band can put out 4 exceptionally mediocre releases, then one of the greatest albums of all time, and follow that up with pure shite for the foreseeable future. Like how.

If ANYONE could DM me a download link i'd be forever greatful :D

Apparently this got released back in February but it completely slipped under my radar. Amazing album, one of my 'why has this never been pressed' and now it finally has! Their best album in my eyes, if you like their newer stuff but have never heard it i'd definitely give it a crack!

Well I got my Goo Goo Dolls - Gutterflower press.

All I need is the first 3 Train albums and I'm happy.

Oh, and an official 10,000 Days pressing from Tool 😎

Shit I didn’t even see this was dropping! I’d love Guttefower and Let Love In, but I already have Dizzy Up the Girl and I don’t care about Magnetic or that other one I’ve never even listened too. Gonna keep my fingers crossed for individual releases and keep and eye to see if anyone deep-discounts a box to move it quick.

Magnetic and Something were really good if you've never given them a go. Although Rebel Beat can gtfo

Did anyone pick up the topography release for record store day? just ordered off eBay us but I'm in Australia so could take a few weeks wouldn't mind seeing what the contents looks like

I can't believe how much slander YM received upon release... Such an incredible album...

This album is so criminally underrated it isn't funny. One of my all time favourites.

In saying that, it was pretty much universally praised amongst critics and the rest of the music industry, just slagged by fans that wanted frogstomp 2.0

If anyone's got a spare $250 and wants some autographed wax...

This album is OK (only had 2 playthroughs), very much in line with what Billy was doing with Oceania and MtaE. If anything, based on early listens i probably put MtaE slightly ahead of this and Oceania.

If you thought that the inclusion of Chamberlain and Iha was going to reinstill the Gish/Siamese/Melon Collie sound then you're going to be bitterly disappointed. But most importantly, you probably need to accept the fact that bands change and evolve with age and they'll never sound like that again...

& press Hard Candy

THIS!

Also, if anyone finds another retailer with these listed please let me know, cost of shipping to Australia is $110 USD :( 

Pre-ordered a gold and box set. Amazing!

Just spun MtaE to celebrate. Anti-Hero is hands down the best song they've released since Machina II.
