Barnes & Noble exclusive vinyl with different artwork is up for preorder:

Has anyone outside of the US ever had a good experience ordering a B&N exclusive.

All of the ones I've ordered in the past into the UK have taken about 2 to 3 months after the release date to even ship, seems pointless preordering especially since the discount they seem to offer on a weekly basis offer is not applicable to preorders.

Yup

It's not in immediate love. I know I will eventually though. After a couple listens, a lot sounds very similar to everything else on the record.

This album is AMAZING

Tim Simmons

Eh. It's amazing when compared to anything he's done in the past decade. It's mediocre compared to his 97-05 output.

I mean I think that goes without saying. But why can't something be really great on its own.

I'm really loving Shiver and Shake and Breakdown.

Watching a taped ACL , man it is sweet

In terms of the last decade, I really liked Ashes & Fire and the European acoustic shows around that time were probably the best Ive ever seen Ryan. S/T had some great moments on it but I wasn't blown away. The singles series was enjoyable and 1989 was everything I would want in a covers album project. Looking forward to the new album. I especially like Prisoner and Haunted House live but just not sure of Do you still love me? As a lead single I prefer Gimme Something Good.

Man, I'm usually pretty good about "happening upon" albums on the internet, but striking out on this haha

Daron Oshay

This thing just gets better and better the more I listen. There's so much heartbreak in the songs. It has to be his most personal record by far.

Tim Simmons

After Heartbreaker, sure.

FR181798

New single is really good. Musically it reminds me of Everybody knows which I never liked that much but " To be without you" seems to strike a chord with me.

So happy he announced a show in my hometown (Columbia) after an 8 year absence! Also announced a Charleston show.

i questioned him coming all the way to sydney early december last year thinking why would anyone in their right mind come that far just for one gig.... then i remembered i did exactly the same thing when i flew to LA in august to see him play the greek. a 14 hour flight... not a unreasonable thing for me when it comes to ryan adams.

Maybe not. He does tend to announce shows like that. Surprised to see Charleston again, though, since he just played there May 2015.

Same here. No need for all the extra stuff. Maybe he'll release a 12 of the b sides.

Daron Oshay

I got it. Have to keep the collection going.

Can't wait to hear the extra songs

29 total is pretty badass

They are getting a digital release, so I imagine they'll be out in the world when this drops.

Most likely on the sidelines for this one. Must. Resist. The collector in me (read: hoarder) wants it but it'd probably wind up sitting right next to my copy of Sevens that's never been played. Plus I need the 150 to help get to Chicago in June to see TP play Wrigley

I haven't heard the new album yet.

"12 randomly selected box sets will contain a one-of-a-kind solo acoustic 7" of one of Prisoner's 12 tracks recorded direct-to-vinyl in the vintage Voice-O-Graph booth at Electric Lady studios. Only one single of each song exists and only one run of Prisoner: End of World Edition will ever be pressed"

Is it weird that it's the extras that are putting me off going for this? I've paid more for vinyl in the past - and 12 records with 29 tracks (with an outside chance of a 30th track) is pretty good - but all the action figures and stage stuff is making it look cheaper to me. If it was just the vinyl I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it.

Tim Simmons

Definitely weird. Not sure how it devalues it. Throw it away if you think the 12x7" are with the $170.
