    I've listened to the album 3 times through already. I know that as soon as I get the CD it won't be leaving the player in my car for awhile.

    Just saw that they released a limited edition vinyl (/500) as part of an early Record Store Day release today. I called all the places around me and no one has it or thinks they'll get it in. If anyone happens to pick up an extra I will gladly buy it from you. Thanks

    Trying hard to dig this album. Its not living up to the hype for me. I can get about 5 songs in and then it just doesnt do it for me. I picked up this and the new Dr. John on the same day and the Dr. John is winning hands down...

    Dr. John over Alabama Shakes come on now you have to try harder. :mrgreen:


    Go for a drive and listen to it. The songs will take over.


    Seeing them live does help btw.

    Try this to get into them better. http://archive.org/details/alabamashake ... 012.flac16

    Good luck and report back if yr feelings change.

    I have a drive to the "burbs" today for work. I'll give it another shot, believe me I want to love this band. Seeing them open for Jack White in Detroit and I wanna feel it so bad!!!!!

    They're a different proposition live. If I'd bought the album before seeing them I'm not sure I'd have bought a gig ticket, but they really are the real deal live. I'm glad it's a short record though, too many bands get sucked into making a 60 minute debut and there's really no need.

    I also bought Dr John the same day, but I've not had a chance to play that yet!
    The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits

    I actually like this album less now that I forced myself to listen on my drive. I honestly see Alabama Shakes being a one hit wonder with "Hold On" It kills me to say this, I usually enjoy anything Third Man is involved with, but this one just misses for me. I'm going to put this album away until I see them live and then I will report back......

    So many better songs they have then ''Hold On'' imo. See them live good idea. :)

    tried listening to the album stream on NPR, and while the first song was ok, I couldn't really get into the rest of the album.

    I wanted to like them, but I'm going to have to pass.

    This band is going places! The singer is like a cross between Otis Redding and Janis Joplin. Damn I can't believe how much I can relate to all the songs here.
