Yeah, I think it's great so far, having just listened to the streams.  I love everything they have done previously and Daniel Rossen's solo EP Silent Hour/Golden Mile was really good too.  Probably won't get the new album for a couple weeks though, as I need to focus on the new Menomena (seeing them on the 27th).  After that, gonna try and see Grizzly Bear on the 10th of October, so I'll have to get it before then.

Look forward to hearing what everyone here thinks, the reviews a overwhelmingly positive so far.

@exist10z have you seen them before live? I caught them on the Veckatimest tour and they were so damn good.  To recreate their music live was great to see and I can't wait to see them again.

I saw them at Coachella, but sadly that show is a little 'fuzzy' for me, plus it was a festival set anyway, but I enjoyed it.  Looking forward to seeing them in a proper theatre, where I really think they will shine.

One of my students is going to see them tonight at the Ryman in Nashville. I've enjoyed how ramped up he's been for the past week. I like the new album.

Big fan of Shields...they are gaining increasing favor with me with each album they killed Sleeping Ute on Fallon the other night!

review of last night's Grizzly Bear show from the 9:30.  Essentially it says: GO SEE THIS BAND

I've heard so many good things about this album. Just saw that Pitchfork gave it a 9.1. Definitely on my action item list for this weekend to immerse myself into.

The first two GB albums were excellent.  This one is fantastic.  Might be their best to date.
