anyone pre-ordered the new idlewild album?

mine came in the post this morning... second time through and i'm thinking "best album since the remote part!" there's a few potential huge hit singles on it too!

Yep, I've got it and it's great. My name's easy enough to spot on the poster... is yours on there?

Arrived this morning

tbh Id forgotten all about it after placing the order monthes ago so got a little shock when I opened a conspicus package expecting it to be the new Enter Shikari album [which I also got this morning in a second pacage and is ace btw]

All the artwork is really cool and stands out as something abit different as album covers go

I also snuk in a little Wildhearts referance as you will find my name on the poster as "Mike (my3dtvtan) Rogers"

Loving it so far some cracking tunes that remind me of The Remote Part in places

Gonna take a few listens to get to grips with all the tracks as is the way with most albums.

Seems the pre order experiment was a success judgeing by the endless list of names on the poster

[spoon_of_grimbo]

i didn't bother with nicknames or anything, i'm just listed as Dan Smith. thought they'd missed me to start with, until i realised they'd listed alphabetical order by first names... yep, i'm a tard.


i've listened to it a good 10 times since yesterday morning and it's seriously the best thing they've done in ages. it's kinda weird to have an idlewild album with a summery feel (their others, "100 broken windows" in particular, have a really cold wintry feel to them - in a good way though, obviously), but it really works well!
