[kotchishm]

Checked in here hoping for a link to the new album, but cant wait to hear it regardless.

I liked the SNL live cuts, and the 2 different bands schtick is solid 

Been checking twitter and leaks all day every day so if it leaks I'll bring the good news

[kotchishm]

Album has leaked per Leaks All Day twitter.

EDIT: It's out there...not sure if I'm supposed to post leak links?

I really, really like this album.  My least favorite song is actually Sixteen Saltines.  Whole thing is solid

[ophidiophobia]

It's all over the place musically which I'm not a fan of, but I'm really enjoying all the pieces of the album. I Guess I Should Go To Sleep reminds me of a Hank Williams Sr. song that my uncle play.

Cool album. As it starts settling into it's place, I can't quite tell where it's gonna go. Lotta of the tunes are very cool and alot of different stuff which I think my favorites of his have, namely Get Behind Me Satan and Consolers of the Lonely. Something about this one doesn't feel quite as strong as those.

All in all, I'm happy as hell with this album. It's got everything I hoped for in it. Love how it has a sound here and there lifted right from his 3 other main bands and his other 3rd Man work.

It was a little bit of a letdown to hear he's partnering up with Columbia to put out the album. Takes nothing away from the music, it just seems to be a backwards look for someone who usually seems so forward-thinking.

Can someone PM me a link?  :dankk2:

He talks about this in several interviews.  It is just a reality of the business.  An artist at his level cannot put out mass amounts of albums like a major label can.  He also talks about how when it comes down to it, it is the indie labels you get screwed over by.  As long as he has full artistic control which he does I don't see anything wrong with it.

He also points out that most of his favorite albums are on major labels...which for me is true also.  I wouldn't say this is backwards thinking.  Just a reality of the business.  Being on a major gives him the ability to do the stuff he wants to do on 3rd man.

I love this album.  He best quality is being unpredictable and that is what this album is.  Probably my favorite album of the year so far.

Freedom at 21, is a great new version of Seven Nation Army, Seven Nation Army 2.0 so to speak, curious how it will sound when played live.

Check out die Harald Schmidt Show, my favorite German late-night program.

http://www.sat1.de/tv/die-harald-schmidt-show/video/die-show-vom-19-04-2012-ganze-folge

21 is around the 40-minute mark of the show. I think it kicks much ass live.

[jimsflyingv]

too bad I missed it but I did not watch Harald Schmidt for ages :)

What a mature, badass rock n' roll album.  Dude just does not put out mediocre, uninspiring stuff.  Jumps right there with Dr. Dog for my favorite album of the year.  I have only listened to it 2x though.
