ha ha sucks to be you :

Shut up, cheater. You encouraged everyone to download this album the minute it got released. Luckily some of us had some self-control.

What do they cost in your country, Xavi?

I paid $12.99, and I bought two copies


oh and please be careful with the packaging of the "eraser" album it rips very easily..... its so fragile that upon opening it, I riped the back cover


oh and the artwork is amazing

Damn it, I forgot to pick up Sufjan while I was at Best Buy just now.

But I did get my copy of The Eraser, as well as a second copy and the third season of Reno 911 for my dad's birthday. Gotta love first day specials at Best Buy, got each Eraser for 9.99 before the price balloons up to 12.99. I also got Reno at 16.99 before it goes up to 21.99.


This is nice news after I passed my most-used gas station and saw some crooked numbers, most notably a three, on its price display.

Thank you for quoting and making me see how poorly I worded that sentence, xavi.

cool,

oh and listen to that link I posted on the eraser thread...cymbal rush sounds a million times better live

alright great

I loved the cymbal rush from Koko earlier this year, so the studio version was a bit dissapointing, but after two listens its already growing on me

I decided not to get Eraser. I like Radiohead alot, but the main draw for me isn't Thom.

I did pick up Sufjan and Muse today though. I just listened to Black Holes and it seems pretty darn good.

Listening to Avalanche right now and I'm a couple songs in. It fits right in with Illinois and sounds pretty good.

 

[u2popmofo]

Thom, Muse, and Sujfan were all acquired.

And yes, I spent a few bucks extra at my local independent store.

 

[joyfulgirl]

How is Muse? I had it in my hand and walked around the store with it but at the last minute put it back cos I was short on cash. But maybe I blew it by not getting it on sale day.

 

[u2popmofo]

I still haven't listened to it, but I'll let you know once I do! I am quite impressed with the bonus DVD that came with the limited edition, looks like it has a ton of stuff on it that I actually want to watch which is fairly rare for the "bonus DVD" type things.

 

[IWasBored]

i see none of you bought the new greg graffin album, which also came out yesterday.

eh, well, maybe you're better off.

 

[zoney!]

And yes, I spent a few bucks extra at my local independent store.

Likewise (Avalanche and Eraser). I also picked up three Eraser stickers. I could be convinced to send them to a lucky Interferencer!

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I like stickers!!!

And I also made my puchases at my local shop...


Edit: By the way, am I the only one who picked up "Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake" by James Figurine? It's yet another project of Jimmy Tamborello of Postal Service and Dntel fame.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I don't know nothin' 'bout stickers.

 

[GibsonGirl]

I wish I had a local independent store to go to.

The only place that cells CDs here is Wal-Mart.

EDIT: hahahahaha the only place that "cells" CDs.

I was able to pick up a lot of promotional eraser stuff

[LMP]

I have to ask this

but did they make Thom Yorke pencil erasers?

 

[Queen Bee]

I didn't get any promotional items when I purchased The Eraser on Tuesday

Did get lots of Muse stuff though

on a related note I've been meaning to get the new muse album, but havent heard much from it? is it any good? how does it compare to their other records?

 

[lmjhitman]

we didn't get stickers in canada.

 

[namkcuR]

'Eraser' is better than I thought it would be. It's really fucking brilliant, actually.

Stadium Arcadium now has competition for 'Best Album Of 2006'

Haven't heard any of the new Muse album other outside of the first single and 'Knights Of Cydnonia'.

Definitely buy it. It's excellent

I think it's just as good as Absolution and Origin of Symmetry. Though, between those two I've had a hard time choosing one as my favorite album, so I can't really rank it between them. There's some interesting experimentation with genres (City of Delusion and Hoodoo have an awesome western feel to them) though it's not too drastic. The tracks flow surprisingly well too. There's only one track on the album that I don't really care for, but the more I listen to the album the more I love it. And I can't stress enough how Knights of Cydonia is the perfect closer to the album. Really solid release
