..........have received my pre order of Z? :'(
Most of what's discussed on this forum these days passes way over my head. :-[
Yeah, it kinda passes over my head too.
I didn't pre-order it and it's still not in stores over here.
Shouldn't be long now I guess.
damn buddy, where do you live?
The European reease date should be the 17th, so it isn't abnormal that it's not here yet.
Might have to look for it again today!
Yer, I saw that in a UK mag the other day (Q or Mojo I think...)
Well worth the wait guys ;)
Hi. I love this band!!
I live in Toronto, Canada, and I haven't got my pre-order yet, either. :( But I bought a copy at Soundscapes, so I'll just it as a present when it comes.
I was very surprised with my preorder. I got it on the day it hit the stores. And I didn't pay for the extra shipping. I thought it was very fast. You should check on the order.
I'm in the UK. I guess you are too, Chills?
I'd assumed the pre-order would arrive before the UK release date.
But getting the extra track and giving the guys a bigger slice of the cake matters more. [smiley=bier.gif]
my experience is that international shipments from musictoday take about 2 weeks so they'll probably arrive any day now.

I hoped I would get mine before the UK issue date too. Shouldn't be long now :) I know what you mean about not having knowing what people are talking about. I've stopped reading the reviews. I've got them to look forward to when I get my album :D

We shall rock together!
I hope to get my copy on Monday.

Oh yes!!! [smiley=rock.gif]
I can't wait for the heavyweight UK reviews.
Kitty Empire's Observer review of ISM is what turned me on to the band. I just had to go out and buy the album based on her say so. I keep a cutout of the review in the CD cover. :-[
To think, if I hadn't been sober and bored that day I may never have turned to the highbrow section of all that cat litter tray stockpile. [smiley=bier.gif]

Cat litter tray - how true ;D
I remember that article too.
friend o mine in holland just told me he received his pre-order yesterday.
shouldn't take too long for the rest of you guys.
It's not officially released in Holland, but one store already had it through import. I like that store. :)
I'm in the UK. Pre-ordered it from Amazon ages ago and it arrived on Wednesday, well before the release date.
Annoyingly, I orded the one from Amazon that was supposed to have an extra CD-ROM track on the end. However, when I loaded it into my PC, it only played the 10 album tracks :(

I ordered mine from the website. Should have ordered it from Amazon :-/
I ordered the 7" of Off The Record and the CD sinble also from the Sony Music Webshop 2 weeks ago through an email from the mailing list and they still haven't come. So if they don't chart as high as expected this could be why? anybody else have this trouble?

For as far as I know, that is the CD-ROM track.
It's in the shops now and I still haven't got mine :(
I ordered in the day the orderline opened.

Oh, ok. Thanks for that. A part of me hoped that it would be the free download track that was offered with pre-ordering off this site.

Damn, the suspense must be killing you.
It's a cracking album, by the way ;)
I'm still waiting too, Doc. :( >:( ??? :'( [smiley=mrgreen.gif] [smiley=thumbsdown.gif]

It's a real bummer loper. We could have got it cheaper too :(
We live and learn I suppose.
I haven't received my mail one yet, either... So it came out on the 4th, and today is the (oh man, what is today?) right, the 17th. So, I guess they still have until tomorrow ish if they're on schedule...
My stinkin ex downstairs neighbour who left fleas in his basement better not have stole it when he was collecting his mail... >:(
(he's the one who was nailed recently for being a big-time bike thief, and oddly enough, my bike was stolen from my front porch a few months ago...)

I remember that! They didn't trace yours then?
IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :D ;D [smiley=bier.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=guitar.gif]
I've got mine since monday. :)
It's different, sad, happy, funny, funky, soulful, it rocks, it rolls, has ten tracks, all killer, no filler, short, sharp, addictive...
So, I kinda like it :D
Is the Uk Release date of the 17th october (which means yesterday) valid for all european countries, let's say Belgium? I checked some stores but Z has not yet arrived.

I think so yeah. give or take a day.
UK only, I think Ifish.
Chills,
just played it for the first time and agree with you. Although Into The Woods needs a listen or two more before I can make judgement. It didn't really catch me first time around. :-/
Prior to receiving it I was worried that the album might be too poppish and not fulfilling in the long term. Although many of the tracks slay me (2,3,8&10 in particular)I still have that fear because it took me days and days of playing It Still Moves to get into it, but the rewards were beyond my dreams and will be everlasting. I already feel I know Z and that's worrying. :-/
By the way, I once stated on this forum (rather recklessly!)that I thought MMJ were the best band I'd heard since Buffalo Springfield. Glad to see you are a fan too. ;)
This is funny: I was going to use the ordered copy for my Dad's birthday present, but it hadn't come yet, so I got one on my way home from work yesterday. Guess what I found in the mail? Guess who's Mom is also getting Z for her birthday?
;)
Haha, nice one Meg.
I'm using the preorder copy for a gift for my lovely lady, who is now starting to truly become a fan. out of her own free will. She bought a copy of Paste magazine and is becoming more and more interested in the guys. i left my whole library of MMJ material on her computer too, so she's got a lot to listen to.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. At Dawn took me a long time to digest, but it became better and better.
Z is instant fun, it's shorter so you put the whole thing on repeat easier, while I mostly just pick out some tracks from the other albums.
But I feel I don't want too play it TOO much right now and take away it's freshness.
I'm sure this one will hold up though, it's actually that good, I feel it should sell millions and redeem rock and roll from it's slightly crappy state it is in now :)
can I get an "amen"... :)
