timsimmons Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Amazon isn't always specific. Its most likely just like the UK pressing except pressed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Papi Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 THIS ALBUM HAS LEAKED! It's okay, I feel like his last release was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no use for a username Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Did anyone pick this up from Amazon? Was it a gatefold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkeyelids Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 According to chemical records UK this is a gatefold, well the UK pressing anyways. This album is great, strong contender for AOTY for me. Blows the S/t out of the water in my opinion. The attention to production is great with heavy emphasis on moog bass lines and trap/garage drums, and obviously Blake's stellar vocals and piano. Honestly, i dont dislike any track on this album. Really solid release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no use for a username Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've only heard the first single, and it sounded like he was going in a slightly different direction from the s/t. Is it that true of the entire album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkeyelids Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I found 'Retrograde' a bit challenging at first, but within the context of the album it works so well. It is a mild departure, not major at all. The foundations of his earlier work is there, just with some great new production development. For me everything that is new and different on this album is so beneficial to the sound His track with RZA is killer too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkeyelids Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 which is a shame, i prefer the other cover ლ(ಠ_ಠლ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 That's the one I was hoping for actually, sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 This is way better than the s/t. its like he took the best elements from his EPs and combined them with the pop aspects of s/t and made something way more enjoyable than the sum of the parts.

JacobMckinley Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We're still trying to obtain the following item you ordered on March 24, 2013 (Order# 002-3418142-1037063). James Blake "Overgrown" typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscodeman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Track 1.. goddammnnnn I like this album more than the S/T already. And, bonus points for featuring RZA on a track. This is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack8urt0n Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Track 1.. goddammnnnn I like this album more than the S/T already. And, bonus points for featuring RZA on a track. This is great. Track 1 is a fantastic opener. I love RZA, but that track just seems out of place on this album. It kind of ruined the immersion for me. It's not a bad song, but it breaks the flow IMO.

wheresmyjuice Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I picked this up today at a local shop and there's no download code. There's no reason to not offer digital files with a record. I'm preaching to the choir here I'm sure but this is the type of shit that makes me lose the two marbles I had left. Anyway, my point is to see if anyone would be willing to help me with files so I can put this in the car. Muchas gracias. Oh and on first listen I'd say it's going to take a lot for me to like it over the first one. I really love that album and it's still a staple.

Derek™ Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 If no one hooks you up before I get home this evening, I can upload the album for you, juice. Though I bet a quick Google search would be significantly faster. I do agree that the lack of digital downloads is annoying... but like most albums, I usually find myself applying the "try before you buy" approach, anyways. That being said, I definitely looked around and found this for a reasonable price, the other day. Eagerly awaiting it to show up, and enjoying my MP3s in the meantime.

Nah don't sweat it I'm not interested in puttin' anyone out I'll find it. Honestly, I'm pretty ignorant to downloading. I had someone who was nice enough to send me some links and I couldn't get either to work. Ah well I'll live. I think the last thing I was on was kazaa. I never know what works, what's virus free, blah blah blah. More often than not if I don't have the record I never end up hearing it. I probably need to suck it up and buy that damn vinyl usb player already. I understand the try before you buy method for sure. It's certainly smarter than my method. I like the gamble and figure- for me- it's pretty low risk if I don't like it to just mark down a new lp a couple of bucks and list it to get rid of it. I've bought albums I clearly intended to keep only to play them once and list them immediately. Fortunately I haven't been in a situation that I regretted.

no use for a username Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Was thinking of picking this up this week. So no version of this lp comes with a download code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backed, I tried listening to this on spotify and nothing really stuck with me the way the s/t did. Also, the first lp rules because it came with bonus tracks not on the cd, thought that was pretty cool to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no use for a username Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm not yet entirely into this album either, but I'm going to pick it up anyway in hopes that it grows on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
