russtcb Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Picked mine up today. LP 1 has a slight warp in it which goes away when I put the clamp on, but I'm still going to exchange it later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpazzyMcGee Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I know the deluxe version is the one at Target with two bonus tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daysaves Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Took me a few minutes to realize that the download code is on the insert, haha. I was about to get mad that I didn't get a download card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtcb Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I like the sound quality of the pressing itself but I'm not overly impressed with the album thus far. Seems like a lot of the 5+ minute songs are that long "just because". It's almost like a lot of choruses repeat unnecessarily just to get a longer run time. I've only listened to a it once through though so I'll be giving it more of a chance as the week goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I just checked this out as well. I was floored by the length of these songs. I'd have to listen more to see if they are justified (rimshot), but it seemed a little excessive. I'll give it a few more listens myself. I have the same early favorites as everyone here. mrrom92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It's about $20 (give or take a few cents) shipped on Deep Discount and GoHastings Every album I have ordered from hastings has been fucked up. The top of the jacket has been split from some dickhead who does not know how to pack albums. This has happened on over 10 different orders.

Guest Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 or.. you guys could just go to the store instead of paying shipping? i don't get the rush to order releases like this that are so wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifworkpermits Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 or.. you guys could just go to the store instead of paying shipping? i don't get the rush to order releases like this that are so wide. what's a record store? Seriously though, if my lady didn't jump the gun and buy this online for (herself) me, I'd go buy this at the local shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 also, pitchfork just gave this BNM.. as if that was in doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Would it be okay if I posted a Drop Box link for the bonus tracks? Since this is a forum about people actually buying music, I'm not sure about the procedure. Give me yay or nay! booms528 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectivemike Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have only seen Mirrors and Suit and Tie on the late night shows/the Grammys/wherever the fuck he just recently played... and I'm let down by the studio versions. They just don't have the "life" that I was expected. Songs sound so much better with a 12-piece band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post when you've listened to it more. I'd like to find out if anyone else feels the way I do about the songs seemingly being long just to be long.

swemoll Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have mixed feelings in regards to the track lengths. Like I said initially, I was also surprised to see the lengths. 70 minutes for 10 tracks is long, regardless of what people said. Now, in terms of the long tracks, I feel like 1, 4, 9, and 10 are justified. That leaves 3, 6, and 8 that I think are long-winded (if I'm remembering correctly). And that's after listening to it pretty much non-stop. That being said, track 8 is still the only son I consistently skip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finally going to have a chance to really listen to the LPs front to back tonight and I'll get an idea of how I really feel about it.

stl_ben Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 UGG the album is so good....but my vinyl copy is so bad. There is 2 points on the record where it loops in the middle of a song. Guess I will have to complain (which I really hate doing) and get a new copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
