Did they already take the money out of your account or do they wait for the thing to ship?

it's pretty flippin' good

does anyone think the digital dl is only the first half of the album? i was expecting more than 8 songs. i also hear the physical version is 2 vinyl discs. this album as it is now clocks in a 40 or so minutes, which could easily fit on 1 vinyl record.

I know that the 2xLP version of In Rainbows, which is only slightly longer, was just slowed down from 33 RPM to 45 RPM (which is usually of higher sound quality). Perhaps they did that for this one as well to stretch it out over 2 LPs. I think what we have is the full album.

Not many hooks going on in this, but you can't fault a band for pushing towards new ground. Lush production as well as arrangements.

Some definite high points here, just hope Greenwood hits the overdrive next time for a song or two.

Do the chop........
