Received word back from them earlier today and apparently it shipped the 26th, but I wasn't given a tracking number.

Mine came today, too, and after several listenings I love it. Some really standout tracks, as good as anything on their previous albums--plus a couple that may or may not grow on me, as is inevitable. Beautifully packaged, too.

I got mine yesterday. Lyric zine signed by the band, but I am a litle desappointed about the sleeve. I believed it was a gatefold. But the "package" is really cool. I love colors, posters and lyric zine.

I would say t hat the disappointment in the EU batch is the flimsy low-weight vinyl for me.
The fact that the swirl on them is very fade comes second.
US pressings seem to be heavily swirl but I dont know about the vinyl weight.

Signed lyric booklet looks so cool. I am happy I have Alison's sig.

The jackets a little thin and especially for a sleeve with so much stuffed into it, but what about the music?
I haven't heard much chatter about people's opinions on the music itself.
I thought it was alright, growing on me a little more with each listen.
The singles, "Hum For Your Buzz" and "Bitter Fruit" are among my favorite tracks and outside of that the rest are alright.
Something like a 6.0/10 for me.

Not bad. I need to listen more. Spun only once and listened to the mp3s once more.
I dont think I i will like it more than the Blood Pressures but it is a good album.

Got mine today but it has a pressing mistake. Record skips on the kills track :-(

So,the whole thing is limited to 1000 copies. I'll swap it for a new one. Curious if they all got this mistake

Yeah, I am going to pass, especially until I hear how your replacement goes. Good luck getting a good copy.
