    I received a tracking email last night for the mega bundle and it will arrive on Friday. Also, received a download code in an email. That'll do.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Saw my first FF show 3 years ago today and that shit changed my life. I was in a really negative headspace at the time and it gave me hope, strength, and happiness! 11/11/11 truly was a lucky day for me!

    Spin ranked all 147 Foo Fighters songs that have been released. Nice to see Aurora crack the top 5.

    This is great! It shows what the power of music and a concert can do to people. There's nothing like it.

    Upon first listen, I don't really like this album. In my opinion, I think this may be a positive. Most of their albums have zero staying power for me. They come out, I listen for a bit and not again. I think this one may grow on me and may turn out to be a great album. Time will tell.

    I ordered the vinyl from Amazon because they had it for $16.99 and they said you would receive a random cover. Well I live in Austin and I ended up getting the Austin cover. I wonder if the person packing the box saw that and gave me the Austin one. Anyone else live in one of the 8 cities and got their city cover "randomly"?

    i got the "main", "generic", "all city" cover or whatever. My buddy in DC received the Austin cover.

    This is a GREAT album.Still getting into Subterranean but love this latest effort by the boys.Something from Nothing already feels like its a instant classic.The queen esque What did I do/God is my witness is awesome,outside rocks and I think The Feast and the Famine is my fav track.I cannot wait to hear it live.

    I was looking for DC or Nashville, but all my store had was Seattle. Picked it up but hoping to snag one of the others down the road.

    I absolutely love Taylor's drumming during the instrumental breaks on The Feast and the Famine. That's probably my favorite song on the album right now.

    I pre ordered the NY cover as a gift for a friend. Just got hand delivered to me by someone holding USPS packages, NOT wearing a mailman uniform. Scared the ever loving Jeebus out of me.

    After a couple of listens, I find Sonic Highways a little boring. Yes it was never gong to be as good as Wasting Light which I think is one of their best, but I did expect more from something that was this hyped.

    The best two songs are Something From Nothing and The Feast and the Famine. OK songs are Outside, In The Clear, and I Am a River. Throwaways are Congregation, What Did I Do?/God as My Witness, and Subterranean.

    I've listened all the way through 4-5 times now. It's a pretty solid album, but don't think it's anything special. Definitely doesn't compare to Wasting Light, but still good.

    I think the GA floor sold out, so overall pretty good I think.
