Fuck, yes.

Both of your copies of LP5 are better than mine.

Take your time. Btw, cute kid.

Leave it out, m8.

They're going to tell you to wait up to 28 days. Then after that time elapses and you email them again they will send a replacement. Because.. fuck bleep. That's what I expect. The lawyer part of me likes to make an early email trail, though. Yeah it's pretty annoying that they handle stuff like that. Is it just me or are a LOT of packages from bleep lost in the mail? Out of 46 orders I've placed with them, there have been 9 lost in the mail. Seems like a high percentage... They're going to tell you to wait up to 28 days. Then after that time elapses and you email them again they will send a replacement. Because.. fuck bleep. http://www.normanrecords.com/ Yep! Norman records is going to be my new go-to place. =) do you work for them or something? lol you're always reppin' it. Haha, nah man. I just buy from them a lot, and think they deserve more customers given how well they treat them.

My initial reaction to this album is closer to osc's initial reaction than to just about everyone else's in here. I'm a little surprised by the "top of their game" responses on here. It's good, but no. I know it's great to have boc back, but no. I should apologise for my ass-hattery several nights ago in this thread, had too much sun and even more mojitos... ...sorry Osc, and anyone else who isnae into this as much as I am. I'm just an opinion with an asshole and vice versa...they are forever, inextricably intertwined. it's cool, you're not on the hate oscillik bandwagon at the moment, so no offense taken. and i respect that you have an opinion, just so long as it's not just fanboyism. in which case I don't respect it. but I'm sure that's not the case, right? you're scaring me.

(because I agree except for TCH being a snoozefest)

Don't complain! I probably won't get mine until November. lol You'll get it before Bibio.

Yup.

Okay, I'm ready to say this now. This album is fucking phenomenal.

It's not about individual tracks, though. This as an album, works superbly even without the 'tunes'.

There's a subjective element, but I think comparing reviews within genres you can find a general correlation between what reviewers and fans like most. I like the typical 10.0 pitchfork-rated album more than I like the typical 5.0; usually the exact score i'd give is different, but it does give you a ballpark idea of where it stands in relation to other albums in the genre and by the same band. The only scores I really find useful are the ones on discogs (voted by everyone). They generally tend to be more accurate to the actually quality of the music (in my opinion). I don't care what some pretentious music-reviewer from pitchfork thinks. They care more about an artist's image and what clothing they are wearing, than the actual music, when they give album scores. This is getting way off-topic.. my silly rant ends here.

Allmusic had it down as an 8 before, guess they changed their minds.

Depends how you perceive the whole thing really, but dark is too strong a word. Bleak is a better word.
