I know all you people in France are that lucky 
How does it feel?? Did you cry???? Did you laugh? Did you scream? Did you sing for joy? |

Just a little under two weeks!!!
I've heard a lot of noise, so I'm going to the stereo store, to get a white noise maker and turn it up to ten. |

Not a cool first post ahoulihan. You should delete the link. I know anyone can do a search to 'steal' Honeycomb, it's just not cool to post it in the artists back yard. If the owner of this message board wasn't worried so much about Pictures and such he might have caught this.

You're right; uncool; deleted. Duly chastised. Withdrawing for awhile.

Daisy, holding the CD in my hand for the first time wasn't that spectacular, cause I knew it would be there in the store. But when I ripped the plastic and opened the case and saw the inner picture and the CD itself, I really had a blast. There are some great pics in it. Oh, and the front picture looks a hundred times better than the one posted here.

Yes, and apparently the mix is slighly different from the versions we knew "thanks" to the net... I have not ckecked that out yet but it feels like some vocals parts were rerecorded, but I'm not sure, maybe it's just the mix... Anyway, it is always great to have to buy a Frank Black album... I do that regularly for nearly 10 years now... Life would not be the same without a 'yearly' Frank Black album or two... Oh! no, not the same...
Thanks again to Frank 'Bee' Black.

Denis, can you scan those in? Or should we just be patient for a few more days?

ahoulihan....personally I enjoyed listening to a few of those tunes you posted a link to. And I can guarantee that I will buy Honeycomb, just like the majority of the people on this board will.
I was planning on waiting until the release date, but when I saw your post I said, "Just a taste" and listened to 3 tracks. I enjoyed them and am awaiting the release even more eagerly.
Jerks who want to steal the album can do it....but I would hope people on this board would buy it regardless of a link like the one you posted.

Dear Kathryn, I suggest you would be patient... You already know the music, let yourself be surprised by the inner pictures, at least!

in my hands it feeled good, but for the moment in my ears, not so much. I know every FB's album needs time to reveal the veal, but there, I've got troubles. wait and ear.
but the cover is nice, I must admit.

| I bought it the very day of release. Well, I listened to it about 5 times, all I can say is that it so Frank Black ! Soft, warm, so pleasant to the ear ! I agree that several FB albums take time to be appreciated (Show me... but now, whoa !), but I loved that one since the first listening. Youy wont be disappointed.... soon ;) |

What a cool thread! I read the french posts in a french accent in my head. It sounded so sweet to me! God I cannot wait to hear the sonic accents and seasonings they added to the leaked version! And to hold the case and smell the new cd smell as I first open it in the front seat of my car!
All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies |

| I for one also appreciated the link to the songs since some of us don't have enough of the "compu nerd" gene in us to go hunt down a half assed bootleg of the record. But it was a nice little sampling of a record I will certainly be buying. |

It's always great to hold a new Frank Black album for the first time.
It's not that great to be disappointed by a Frank Black album for the first time (oh i'm gonna be hated for saying that...) |

| I still have to run to my local Borders to get it down here in Puerto Rico "Isla Del Encanto".When I hold it in my hands I hope it feels like when Frank held his baby boy for the first time,miraculously magical(I think?).Que Viva Frank Black!!!!!! |

and who's the most stupid French here? me of course who decided to live in the US and not to be the first to enjoy this new release...well luckily enough I got an advance CD 2 weeks ago ;-)
I listened to it in loop and after 3 or 4 times I began to appreciate all songs, their sound and details...now I'm totally addicted... not a big surprise though. The good thing with this album is that now I have a FB album to match each of my moods... this one will be perfect for Sunday mornings for example. |

Why couldn't Frank do a solo version of the Shrimp Song? I still love this version, mainly because it still has those FB minor chords and such, but a solo version, like the one's I've heard him perform... Man, that would be heaven.
Still, I'm starting to realise that this is my favourite FB album since TOTY... slightly better than Dog in the sand, I think (maybe not so many classic FB songs, but more consistant as a whole). It's one of those rare albums I can listen to over and over. I love every little detail on this record, how the album starts with "Selkie bridge", those two guitar notes just before Frank sings "if you return again", that little thing Spooner Oldham does at the end of "Another velvet nightmare", the way "Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day" makes it impossible for me not to sing high-pitched backing vocals on the "groooove day" part, the brilliance of "Atom in my heart". I should do a geek-list of all these little details I love about Honeycomb.
I'm very impressed by the publicity this album is creating. Frank deserves every praise. As do all that were involved with Honeycomb.
I'll shut up now. |

Velvety, that was a beautiful post. I feel the same way as you... it is an album that you can listen to over and over and not get bored!!
You're right you could write a novel about how great this album is!!!
I only have the leaked version!!! I can't WAIT for the real thing!!!!! |

I feel relieved. My copy of Honeycomb took two weeks to reach me from amazon.fr. I thought it had been lost somewhere.
It feels like ages since I've heard a new Frank album.
