Does it really sound like that? Because I only like five of the ten songs on that album. And I'm anticipating a JA record, not a P4P album.kv wrote:so you never listened to good gods urge then right?
I would totally buy GGU on wax even though I only like half the album. The five songs on it I DO like are all aces. I've never really been into album streams, so I'll pass. Albums like this, it's important to me that I hear it in the best possible quality in a setting that's free from distraction, so I can focus on it. Because I owe it to them. Like they owe their fans a great album.kv wrote:ok....gonna explain myself.....good gods urge never came out on wax....
and it's not really a "janes" record...it's very pop..like a pop/modern rock album
doubt it will come out on wax so you may as well listen to the stream...
There's a promo vinyl copy.kv wrote:ok....gonna explain myself.....good gods urge never came out on wax....

perhaps you are overthinking it. this sounds a bit like a decision never to view a youtube clip of a band you like because you'll only check them out live if they play in your living room. or not watching your favorite team in the super bowl (oer the world cup) unless you can view in HD on the biggest and best tv made. out of curiousity, what is your best possible setting setup? do you have a $50K macintosh or equivalent sound system and an acoustically perfect room? no? me either. and i get the whole 'spin the black circle' thing and yeah yeah vinyl is king and cd is shite and whatever. i have 5000 lp's and a pretty decent system. but i'm also practical. if the new JA is as important to you as the new beyonce is to me (not at all), then, of course, dont listen. but if you're a fan and you can only hear it on cd (and i realize that this is likely moot as it is coming out on vinyl evidently), then go buy some really good headphones and close the door to your room and put up a sign that nobody can enter for fear of imminent death. choose the volume you like and tweak the treble and bass if thats your fancy to get it just swell. thats pretty close to the setting thats free from distraction and is close to the best possible.NYRexall wrote:I would totally buy GGU on wax even though I only like half the album.

Perhaps I'm over-thinking this, but I'm fairly certain at this point I won't attempt to listen to it for awhile once it arrives.
I'm not that obsessed about it, no. Far from it, actually. But this isn't an album I'm going to download off the internet and listen to on my way home from work to see if it's something I want to buy. This is something else. This is "don't make any plans for Oct. 18th (or whenever it arrives), turn the lights down low, light some candles, ignore the phone/doorbell/etc., crank album to welding volume and see if a band who once changed my life still has the ability to do so in a completely different place and time.tubro wrote:

I've actually decided to hold my tongue on TGEA, no matter what my end opinion is on the album. There are plenty of others here who have already (and will continue to) dissect the album, and I've bored the people here enough with my rants on why present-Jane's is inferior to past-Jane's.tubro wrote: then come back and tell us all how okay/decent/not awful it is. because this is indeed the shiny happy we love jane's site. we should all take a bow. xiola motherfucking rules and anyone in JA who doubted it should rethink and take us off the blow me line.
vinyl love is one thing but the day i dont listen to something im otherwise very interested in because its not on vinyl is not imminent.
