Has anyone heard this yet? I was a big fan of their last lp, 'Behind The Music' and I want to pick this up but it seems to be only available as an import. Any idea when this is due for a US release?

Should be out in the US on March 15th (yeeaah!) Also, as a bonus, it will have two b-sides, World Bank (b-side of Bigtime) and To Somewhere Else (b-side of Heading For A Breakdown) as extra tracks.

I admit I downloaded it because I couldn't take waiting 6 months but didn't want to pay import prices when I knew it would be coming out domestically (I swear I'll be buying it on the 15th!). Its very good, although I still prefer Behind The Music. I've heard that they recorded enough songs for an Origin Vol 2 to be released at some point, and that those songs would be more in a psychedelic vein of earlier albums like "Extended Revelations...".

I think the tracklisting you have is wrong, since my favorite song on the LP, "Borderline" doesn't seem to be listed (should be track 10). Hopefully they'll be touring the US again. I saw them on the Behind The Music tour, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been too (plus it introduced me to their great opening act, Sam Roberts)

I also downloaded it - I think it leaked last November. I agree with fallfan, it's a good album but doesn't have the standout tracks that Behind The Music has. It's still a solid album from top to bottom and I'm looking forward to hearing the two b-sides and I'll be buying it when it comes out. I saw them open for Oasis in 2002 before the Behind The Music tour and they put on a great show, I'm going to try to catch them again.

The amazon.com review actually mentioned that the lp had 12 songs so it is probably just a mistake on their tracklisting.

I really liked "Behind the Music" am looking forward to this album.

Anyone pick this up today. It's cheap at BB (can't remember the exact price...maybe $7.99). I'm going to pick it up at lunch.

actually it's $6.99, I bought it along with the new Daft Punk album. Gonna have to go down to the downtown Olssons' Books & Records to buy the new Gruff Rhys solo album (since it's a title Best Buy wont likely stock).

I need to get by Best Buy for this.

I've seen three reviews that liked, but don't love it.

Blender, EW and Spin. All gave it between a B and C range.

actually, having listened to it this afternoon, I'd say I'd give a B - not as great as "Behind the Music" but still worthwhile.
