Popmatters gave it a 7. Allmusic and Tinymixtapes, 4/5.

Tomorrowtomorrowtomorrowtomorrow.

I'm psyched to pick this up, finally.

the tourist · 10-13-2009, 02:54 AM

I haven't heard anything off of it. So when I do pick it up, it'll all be fresh.

I've just heard the three songs they released on an EP earlier this summer...I have to say, it's been nice abstaining from listening to the leak for once, and I'm glad to see that quite a few others have done the same for this album.

GirlsAloudFan · 10-13-2009, 11:47 AM

Just bought this thing!

I'm going to go smoke some drugs and listen to it.

onebloodonelife · 10-13-2009, 12:34 PM

FUCK! The vinyl version doesn't come out until the 27th. FUCK FUCK FUCK. I'm listening to the damn thing tonight on headphones then. And, I'll be doing the same as GAF up there, smoking it up big time beforehand.

If you shout... · 10-13-2009, 12:48 PM

Ha ha ha. Oh, you kids. Given my almost physically draining psych kick (the records I've listened to...I can no longer even begin to remember, let alone count), this year, this record is a pretty big disappointment, for me. While it's true that they haven't even resembled a psych band for about ten years, now, I was expecting...I dunno...less Zappa freak-noodling and more Blue Cheer psych-jamming? It's not awful, or anything. I'd probably slap 'er with a 6/10, after just a few listens, in fact. But I dunno. I just don't really like many of the songs. I'll keep at it, though. I would very much like for this band not to suck, finally. It's been a long, long, long, long, long time.

Yeah, I noticed that this morning. Not cool.

I'm going to cave. Probably today.

Plus, it was not the case a week ago when I checked Aural Exploits online.

I was really hoping for a loud as shit vinyl listening for the inaugural play of it too. Oh well.

lazarus · 10-13-2009, 01:42 PM

Best Buy is selling this for $7.99? At least if their website is to be believed. There's also a $16.99 version, whatever the fuck that is.

If you shout... · 10-13-2009, 01:47 PM

That's right, laz. I think that the more expensive one comes with a DVD, or some shit...? Also, the CD release at least should be only a single disc, as the record is, ahem, "only" 70 minutes long.

I remember seeing the same thing. Also, it's November 27. Not this month. So, uh... yeah. Listening today.

They are. And the $16.99 is some two disc thing, presumably with a DVD or something you'll probably never look at.

Deluxe editions of things suck.

Are you sure? Both Aural Exploits (which I know isn't terribly reliable, but still...) and the Electric Fetus told me October 27th. The Fetus even looked it up in their upcoming shipments for me.

If you shout... · 10-13-2009, 01:52 PM

November 27:

The Flaming Lips: Embryonic PRE-ORDER: 2xLP+CD

Imperor · 10-13-2009, 01:54 PM

Yeah, I was going by Insound too. But November 27 is a Friday, so that doesn't make much sense. October 27, being a Tuesday, is probably where it's at.

onebloodonelife · 10-13-2009, 02:02 PM

Amazon also says October 27th, for what it's worth.

You dare to deny the glory of Anton Cockijn's experimental film Linedrive?

elevated_u2_fan · 10-13-2009, 02:08 PM

Linedrive pretty much sucked but I'm a sucker for fancy packaging and books and posters and all that shit

Lancemc · 10-13-2009, 02:18 PM

Was "Linear" really that terrible? I remember being somewhat intrigued prior to the album's release, but never got around to checking it out.

lazarus · 10-13-2009, 02:18 PM

Look outside, Elfa. Your motorcycle is burning.
