    My wife was at a Barnes & Noble and she called me. I made her buy me a copy. It was funny to hear (while I was holding on the cell phone) her explain to the salesperson the name, and the sales person trying to find it. They finally found it. So I can't wait to get home. I think it will still be in it's wrapper.

    That's what sucks these days. There are no more music stores. When I was young, there was Wherehouse, Virgin, Blockbuster (they did music back then), Tower, Sam Goody, plus all the locals. Now, at least where I live, buying a CD is an excursion. All these places are gone. And they're crying about sales? No outlets could be part of the problem.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    a co-worker slid me a copy of this yesterday, I had never heard of it. Gotta be sure to give it a listen after the praise on here.

    Agree completely! I was shocked that it was carried at Best Buy, and they didn't have many left Tuesday night.

    Very sadly I will not make it tonight.

    Just don't have it in me to drive in traffic to Oakland from Sacramento.

    My friend was going to join me and he backed out, and then tickets are no longer available on TM and too much risk/hassle getting there without a ticket or using craigslist.


    Hopefully they will be closer at some point. :(

    So i started listening and reading along to the lyrics, and they are fucking sick!!! Mostly about psycho killers. I think "Interlude with Ludes" is my favorite psycho killer song ever!!!

    Saw them at ACL and they tore it up, just got the album and it's amazing. It's been an amazing last few months for music!

    i was impressed with the first three songs. especially when nobody loves me, and neither do i just goes insane, beginning with homme's "ugh!"

    but then i feel like the album just kind of loses it. besides scumbag blues, caligulove, and gunman, i don't know where to go with this album.

    i'm sure it'll grow on me though; it's starting to. gunman is so funky.

    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    When I was young, I would go into a record store and they would be blaring something I've never heard before which also sounded so amazing. Like they knew this other world of music that always slipped away every time I tried to grasp at it. I feel like I finally have that album. The best way to describe it is that great music that's playing over the loudspeakers at an old style record store.

    I saw them at the ACL and thought they were OK. None of the songs really stuck with me hearing them for the first time. But I am listening to the album now and I like it much better. At ACL one song blended into the other.

    It's a cracker, loving it big time, it's certainly better than any Foo's album and a considerable improvement on Era Vulgaris.

    Josh's vocals & guitar are fantastic, Dave drumming great and no complaints from me and JPJ's bass and keys skills are top drawer. Love Josh's Clapton like falsetto on Scumbag Blues, a very Cream flavour to this track.

    This baby sounds awesome on vinyl, double 180 gram beauty and apparently not unlike The Dead Weather they are planning a follow up pretty sharpish.

    Bravo to the Vultures!
