I was going to wait until next Tuesday when I got my high quality download, then I figured I should listen to it now just in case I die before then and miss my chance.
I take your approach to many things. That being said, this album is the tits.

Let the Records Play has a Gary Glitter feel to it, for me.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
perfect balance between some accessible-melody radio-type songs, and some of the crazy-cool dark unexpected shit -
HELLS YES.

Just finished. That is a SOLID album! They usually take a while to grow one me, but this one has to be a top 3 for me. The flow of the tracklist is perfect. I would only ever want to skip Swallowed Whole. The different textures and layering of the music is just beautiful. I love the electronic sound in the second half of Lightning Bolt. I'm diggin the song more now that I've heard the studio version. Jeff said that Stone had a lot to do with the melodies in the music. If that's true, I want more Stone albums! Well done!
I tried so damn hard to resist but just couldn't!! My head is exploded! Love it and can't wait to listen 400 more times! Infallible and Pendulum are going to be in my top pj songs for sure.

when the kingdom comes he puts the records on and with his blistered thumb hits play
and with the volume up he goes and fills his cup and lets the drummer drum take away
the pain
the pain
breaking
foresaken
what’s that you’re taken
(believing) the feeling
he lets the records play
I see the future dim
The cigarette light’s in
the vaporizer green light grim
and when the shot glass talks he goes to listens up
until he’s nice and numb again
again
shaken
the breaking
not one for faking
the feeling (???) is healing
he lets the records play
there’s wisdom in his ways
I’ve been down and I fell so hard and far from grace
I’ve been hurt and I still recall the flaws on her face
I’ve been off but unplugged? my feet
my feet again
shaken
foresaken
what’s that you’re taking
the weeding
the feeling
he lets the records play
shaken
but breaking
not one for faking
the reeling is healing
he lets the records play
there’s wisdom in his ways
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.

haha me too, it took me about 5 minutes until i gave in and gave it a listen and it's perfect..
by far the best piece of music i've heard in a long time. amazing. can't wait to hold the album in my hands.
...and I wasn't optimistic about it, but I have to say "Sleeping By Myself" is pretty awesome.

Pendulum = very cool, reminding me of things like No Code. Both it and Infallible were unexpected for me, since I was anticipating a more uniform sound to the tracks. They need more listens.
I REALLY love Pendulum! And Infallible is really good too IMO. No confusion or disappointment there. I think that if anything doesn't really fit the album, it's Sirens and SBM. My Father's Son is the new one that's going to take some getting used to for me, but I think I like it (the last half is better than the first).
After one listen, I think this album is excellent overall! I really like it! I'm so happy!!
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
I enjoyed it on first listen.
I will have to listen again to hear the intricacies. I still don't like Future Days :? and SBM isn't awful, but it isn't for me. Loved the pace of the album.
I'll be interested to hear people's thoughts after they've gone through the rush of excitement and had a chance to sit back and consider.
