This is a top tier Chilis album for me. 

I wouldn’t know. I haven’t made it to a record store, and the two vinyl versions I ordered directly from the band’s shop are still in the “label created” stage.

which two did you order, Dan? I'm assuming one is the purple/gold variant?

The album is fantastic, can’t wait to get the vinyl in the mail and listen on my stereo.

My purple and gold is scheduled to arrive Friday, but the only completed step is label created

Yes, Lakers and the deluxe gatefold.

sounds fantastic on vinyl.  Minus the XM channel in the car, I’ve only listened to it on vinyl. To my ears it’s just a notch below stadium arcadium but that one is exceptional

I streamed it yesterday while folding laundry, Flea and Chad shine on this record. I know Flea has a lot of reverence for jazz, and I'm not a jazz expert by any shot, but his playing reminds me of a busy jazz piece.

My 8 year old listened to it with me the other night. His eyes got real big and said “what’s that sound”?

it was Flea.  Even he noticed

Really enjoyed my first 2 listens, waiting for my purple and gold vinyl to supposedly arrive Friday. They have been on Rick Rubin's podcast recently. First was John, then John and Anthony, then I think the rest join. I'm only halfway thru the John and Anthony one but John's was really enjoyable first. He has an incredible memory of starting/getting into the band, first shows, etc.

Agreed! That John interview was great!

Flea has a recent one on Maron's WTF podcast that was pretty great too.

Both podcasts made it sound like they recorded 40 plus songs while making this album. I got the impression from Flea that there is already a game plan for the other songs, would be amazing if they hit us with another album by years end.

Yeah, I liked how Maron pushed him about the other songs...hoping he would tell him, but no luck.

Ooh purple and gold is marked out for delivery a day early. Can’t wait to listen

DewieCox

I snagged the Walmart blue. If it sounds as good as it should then I’ll be set. If not, I’ll return it and go with a black deluxe version. The blue is a perfect color for this. 

The actual Lakers branding is a nice touch on the purple and gold.

Not too happy with the mangled corner, but I am not going through the hassle of contacting anyone. Excited to spin tonight

Loujoe

Yep. We are all a little banged up.
