I think this is my favorite album of theirs since Satanic Panic...

Spin has an article written after a Reflektor listening party:

#10 on the list should make everyone here happy...

Hilarious.  SPIN has been the MAD Magazine of the music world for a while now.

 

the 7" has only 

1   Tennis Court     2   Swingin' Party

 

That B-Side is a Replacements cover

Right on. One last question, I heard over on reddit that with Amazon preorders, they don't charge it to your card until it ships, is that true?

Yes

Merge has a preorder up for the album too.  $25 with free shipping is cheaper than the $20 + $11 shipping from Topspin, but I'll pay the extra $6 for a chance at a "special show" or good seats for where ever their Chicago show may be.

Anybody have any idea what "Special Shows" they are referring to at the top of the US preorder page?  Didn't see mention of that anywhere else.

US Preorder is up, but the cheapest shipping option for me is $11.

I might have it but I have to do some digging.  Let's see what I can find.

This is up for preorder -

Kind of pricey, and it doesn't say just how limited, but I love this band and Jeff Tweedy produced a couple tracks.  I'm excited.

Congrats!  Can't make it all the way from Chicago, but I hope it all works out for a long, long time.  Post some pics of the inside when you get a chance.

"Perfect Drug" is universally hated?

I love that fucking song.

No mention of the Kelley Stoltz album?

That's strange.  I think it was twenty when I pre-ordered earlier.  Because after shipping it came out to under $25...  Happy I bought in when I did.

Yep you're right.  It was $19.98.

Still a lot for a single LP, but that's weird that they changed it.

After seeing them at Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza I'm almost ready to declare this my favorite album by them.  But really, you can't go wrong with any album since Alligator. All perfect or very close to it.

Also, I'm really happy I went for the deluxe in this case.

I saw them on the first date of their tour, so they didn't have the record there. But for $20 and free two-day shipping with Prime, I'm actually not too disappointed. Had more money to get one of those sick tour-only tees.

I'm with you - I always wanna go with the deluxe versions, but I'd probably never listen to the instrumental versions and it would just be a waste of money.

F for effort.

That's how I feel about all of Kanye's lyrics on this album.

This is also up on Amazon for a bit cheaper:

Not sure if it's the limited version or not.

Anyone confirm if they have these on tour? Went to order it and missed out but I'm seeing them next Friday

They didn't have them at Pitchfork Festival, but not many bands had vinyl at the merch tent so it could be an anomaly 

Yeah, the album art is phenomenal

I love this band.

That is a massive box for two records.

I had the same exact box for 1 record.  But it's in pretty good shape.

My order just got cancelled...

Still nothing for me - am I the only one?

Anyone still hasn't received shipping confirmation yet? Mine is still "Processing" while others have already received theirs. WTF. 

I ordered minutes after they went on sale, and mine is still processing as well.

It's fixed.
