Possibly or it was routed to another less busy distribution center. It’s always a cluster. I live in CO, north of Denver, and one of my packages coming from a seller in TX went to Denver then got routed to AZ, then routed to CA and now it’s in transit for like a week now. So who knows. Just keep an eye on it I guess.

Oddly I saw them live and his vocals were way more impressive than on recordOi, I keep trying to really enjoy The Strokes but it never clicks outside of the odd track. I find their vocal mixing to be insufferable sometimes, feels like you can barely hear them over the instrumentation mostly and I don’t find the instrumentation to be impressive enough to warrant such a vinyl investment. I’d be buying this for Reptillia

I for one think Room on Fire is excellent. It has the same energy and tightness of their debut and the songs themselves are strong. Some I’d say are among their very best. Is This It will always be the OG. But I’ve always considered Room on Fire a worthy follow up.
Maybe I’m just a sucker for those interlocking guitars though...

Room on Fire will always remind me of 9/11 because at the time that’s the album I was pretty much listening to on repeat.

It's pretty great. No issues with mine. Sounds fantastic. Also the Donny Hathaway is pretty awesome. Still have yet to spin Big Boi out of this shipment.

Right, because of the Infamous New York City cops controversy!Do you mean Is This It?
I'm in the minority of people who like Room on Fire as much as This is It. Of course, I already own both (and Prine), so I don't know what I'll do.

I gave First Impressions Of Earth a listen yesterday for the first time in a long time and man, that album is very front heavy. Like all of side A rips, banger after banger but Side B... not their best.

You might be missing out on some quality tunes. While none other other LPs are as great from beginning to end they all have at least a few kick ass tracks on em.I only really care for the first two.

That's what I meant. I only care to own the first two albums on vinyl. As for the rest I can leisurely stream them on Spotify.
