the day has finally come. it's very lovely. thanks for asking!
as an aside the hmv store from where i picked it up only had 1 copy shipped to them! the store clerk said he didn't think it was a mistake. how's the man supposed to sell his records if they don't stock em in the store!!!

It does feel good...VERY good finally! What are people noticing about the differences in the finished product vs the leak? Me-on 2nd listen, and it seems the bass is very much more present than in the leaked version, and the sound of the vocals in certain areas is smoother somehow-don't know how to describe it-like it is melded into the music a littl more. All in all sounds very nice.

Got mine today! Didn't want to listen to any demos or hear peoples thoughts on it until I'd given it an offcial listen. I have to say I think it's really great, I think he's really nailed his country/rock, Americana sound/vibe. No disrespect to the Catholics, but I think it's a much more solid and rounded album then SMYT. Faves at the mo are I Burn Today, Song of the Shrimp, SSMVGD(first time I heard it, great song), Honeycomb(fave of all), Sing for Joy. Dark End of the Street didn't live up to my expectations but The Flying Burrito Brothers version is class and Gram is the Man, apart from the other Man that is  .

Honeycomb has been in my hands for a week now... i was sick so didn't go back to look for this thread until now.
But honestly... it nearly made me cry that honeycomb came when I was so sick. i was so sick that even though I remebered it was supposed to come out that day... but my husband was like you have a package....
I opened it up feverishly knowing what was inside. like that little kid charlie opening up a wonka bar on charlie and the chocolate factory... i ripped open the cellophane and plopped in the disc.
while it was playing i surveyed the inside art (i had seen the other art work.) the pics of Frank lying out side of the storage and at a drive in cracked me up!!! the shrimps were more beautiful than I had thought... for some reason i thought they would be un cooked. I loved all the pictures of the wood and the growth ring on the trees was symbolic.
it was like holding a friends baby in your arms in a way that you are had nothing to do with that beautiful work, but you are so proud of your friend and you knew their baby would be so beautiful all along.

Great visual Daisy Girl of you sick in bed, your husband brings you a package, and you rip it open "like that little kid charlie" (I'm picturing the original "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and not the recently released movie.
And comparing Honeycomb to a friends baby is quite poetic and very well put!

I just bought my copy yesterday and its beautiful! Its on heavy rotation until the Sicialian presents itself. And on a sad note, my buddy burned a hole through the back artwork of the disc. Guess I'll need to get another copy now and keep it behind a plate of glass. Maybe even get an alarm on otion sensor or something.
