It really is fantastic! Ordered it over the weekend.

I was skeptical about the comeback record, even after hearing a sample track, but after listening to the whole thing I'm sold. Parts of it sound like Queens of the Stone Age on helium and inhalants and that's a good thing.

I slept on the first press, now I gotta wait till May! Fuck!

Has anyone who ordered the first press of the new record actually gotten it yet? Or an e-mail saying it's delayed? Delays do not annoy me, silence from Brutal Panda about said delays do.

Several people have asked about it on their facebook page (for me, left side, POSTS TO PAGE, good ways down).

I got mine.

The first pressing just showed up at record stores here in Austin. Black vinyl. Mine had no download card. I assume that copies ordered in the mail will soon be with us.

This is fucking awesome.phpBB [media]They also keep making references to a new record beyond 2 Ynfynyty.

The power of suggestion and all that, but seriously, I listened to this record for days on end. Now I'm in the suspicious-reaction phase, much as after hearing Slanted and Enchanted: "This sounds like a mix of specific songs I liked in previous decades, so of course I like this, but it isn't particularly original -- it's a pastiche."* How rockist of me. No matter. NC.*Slanted and Enchanted == Wire and the Fall. With 2 Ynfynty, the other songs I'm hearing are by the likes of Urge Overkill (early Urge Overkill), the Jesus Lizard, early Led Zeppelin (?), and ... there was a fourth one. Kyuss? Royal Trux? Surfer Rosa? I don't know. Sometimes it seems like it's been the late '80s / early '90s for a very long time, for some people. No matter.ETA: My Bloody Valentine -- that's who else they sound like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pZRfsBYsXw

It's the soupiness of the sound that does it for me. I'm not familiar with their other records besides Heroin Man, but I like the way it sounds like they had time to nail down a sound in the studio for this one.
