    i'm having a hard time getting into this cd. maybe i need to spin it more than 5times to get it or maybe the hype was too big? i dunno...
    i'll keep trying...

    Maybe... although it grabbed me on first listen. Different for everyone though. Or maybe it's just not for you? I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone.

  • Love the mix on the CD. Thankfully the vinyl is the complete show. Can't wait for that!

    You're allowed not to like it :) I was excited about the album before I even heard it, and was relieved that I liked it upon first listen. But REALLY loved it when I saw them live. Some of the best live shows I've ever been to. Definitely the best this year.

    Did they not get the full show on the CD?! Good thing I didn't preorder it then, I was holding out for the vinyl, so happy they are pressing it!

    The live show helped me a lot. Certain songs I didn't enjoy until after seeing them performed live.

    I'm really excited about the film...... I've always been a huge Josh Hommes fan, and am thankful this album made me see a rock legend before he retires. (A little arm twisting from Suziemay helped too, thanks girl)

    In a year where I saw PJ on my birthday, saw them perform 10 the very next night, and also perform 2 legendary shows at Fenway, this Iggy Pop show still stands out.

    except i'm an iggy fan which makes this even harder. recently, after it sat on the shelf for a bit i gave er anudder spin and found it a bit better but there's def a couple songs i go right to fast forward after about 30seconds in :(

    Get the DVD of the Royal Albert Hall show. Or even just find stuff on YouTube. They were truly magical. The band in a constant state of joy and disbelief, like holy fuck, this is really happening, we are on stage with Iggy Pop. The audience really reflected a lot of love back and Iggy was just soaking it all in. So amazing.

    The Mojo magazine interview in particular really opened up my eyes to just how much this album meant to Josh and conversely, how much Iggy appreciated the process. I think that was the interview where they talked about each song. That might help.

    Or truly, you can be an Iggy fan and not like the album, it's ok! It's just that the entire Post Pop Depression experience has been THE musical highlight of my year.

    What I've heard is from Apple Music and had like 12 songs. I preordered the vinyl and saw that it was like 22 songs so I looked and it's the entire show.

    Watched the entire Live at Royal Albert Hall Blu-ray. WOW. They did a phenomenal job with the video and audio. Really captured the feeling of being at the show. And the quality is amazing.

    Extra bonus, I had actually pre-ordered the Blu-ray + CD option without realizing it. The CDs come with audio of the full show and I think the whole thing only cost like $20.

    If anyone pre-ordered the Live at Royal Albert Hall LPs (supposed to be released February this year), I just got my order cancelled (I had ordered directly from the Post Pop Depression website). I got the following response from customer service when I inquired:

    The record label is having issues with the production of the vinyl and have told us they don't know when they will be able to deliver the title to our warehouse and have asked us to refund all orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to have the title available for purchase in the near future.

    :cry:

    new QOTSA album for 2017

    Oh shit! You just made my day! ........Like Clockwork was killer, (as are all the other albums), I expect this to be no different. & I expect a tour to follow too.



    Suziemay..... bummer, hopefully it eventually gets produced & you get your hands on one down the road.
