    I've only heard 'I need my girl' live so far but it's an absolute gem, can't wait for this album and the gig in the marquee.

    Songs must be pretty good to have been able to leave 'Rylan' off it.

    All it's missing then is Justin Vernon. I remember them taking to the stage at the Olympia a few years back to the strains of 'Skinny Love'.

    Obviously the new songs have been re-named too, with the exception of I need My Girl. Couldn't be more excited for this, and the gig.

    WTF Rylan didn't make the cut? :( It's the most played track in my library, hope it pops up on whatever extended/double/limited release will likely follow the release date.

    Doesn't suit some bands though. I'd say The National will be good there though.

    It's good, but not fantastic. Hopefully it's one of the middle quality songs bands tend to put out as a taster these days.

    Presale... silly billy's.

    New Song (Don't swallow the cap) is better than Demons but so far this album seems like National-lite to me.

    Pre-sale was two days ago. The tickets went on general sale at 9am this morning. I snagged two for the Sunday evening just after that.

    I'm surprised that they are going to be playing in somewhere like the Odyssey, they are obviously becoming very popular.

    That's actually a pretty good description for the songs so far, although I really like 'Don't Swallow The Cap'

    Looks like they have done a Mumford on it. Find a formula and stick to it.... :/

    Bit early to say that, especially when they had plenty more different albums before the last one. Mumford didn't. The only slight thing I'm worried about is Matt's use of his lower voice quite a bit in the first few songs I've heard, it's not bad by any means but I hope he mixes it up, ala 'Secret Meeting' etc
