Pre-Order Thread

This is the moment that my kids are going to sleep, my daughter (9) is upset because she couldn't understand a math problem -- which is wonderful, and heart crushing all at the same time -- my day was insanely long... and now, now all of you leave me desperately wanting to crank through all that glorious Spoon.

Jukebox the Ghost "Everything Under the Sun" 10 year anniversary on yellow.

For fans of queen influenced piano pop. Big fan and you probably have seen the guitarist/second singer's art on your social media somewhere.
 
All That You Can't Leave Behind is pretty high up there on the list (which I'm making up now) of most lopsided albums. The first 6 songs (Side A) are all pretty great, and the last 5 (Side B) are all pretty awful. If I owned this on vinyl, I would enjoy all of Side A and rarely ever listen to side B.
 
“Underdog” vs “Only the Good Die Young”

It’s the percussion & guitar rhythms mostly, I think. Spoon uses brass in that song where Joel uses an organ; the melodies are different but they’re producing a similar effect. Not doo-wop though, I don’t think. And you almost have to ignore the vocals completely in order to make the comparison at all.
Vocals is where I was getting a little Elvis Costello (not just this song). Doo-wop was probably a stretch and I think I subconsciously threw that in there to rile up the Spoon base, given how notoriously passionate they are.
 
I will resist the urge to rank U2 albums. But will ask, did anyone who's Limited Edition REM not get cancelled get a shipping notice yet?
No ship notice but if you follow the confirmation link in the original email you can get to your tracking. Mine’s on the move and should be here today or tomorrow. Looks like they’re doing the DHL>USPS thing
