Not in it's entirety, but the tracks I did hear getting played in my local record shop were sounding incredible! Can't wait for this... is it true this is CD/digital only?

no, it's on vinyl too - with extra artwork, gate-fold business!

Sure it'll be readily available pretty soon anyway! Cheers for the support.

Dont be expecting anything even resembling a dubstep lp 8)

Wholistically, I think it was great. That being said, I think that the highlights (which for me were: Before I Move Off, Carbonated, Would Know, Field, and Mayor) do shroud the others; when I was first listening to this album I'd often skip the others, but over time I've grown to love it all. Kind of fed up with Would Know at the moment, well I was for a while, but that's beginning to pass.
What did people think of Cold Spring Fault Less Youth? I thought it was a tighter album overall, I'm still not mad about Slow, but macroscopically speaking I think it came together. Really strong opener too. I thought the collabs with King Krule were on point, especially You Took Your Time, the drum playing/programming on that, and the sample selection, really brought it together. I wasn't keen on Blood and Form at first, but singing along to it really brought me in. I enjoyed the bonus track Fall Out a lot, looped it for an hour after the first listen. Blinders all over it so I'm not gonna go into much more detail. I was pretty surprised after listening through the first time, at the change in direction, I didn't think the tunes were bad but I missed what you could call the playfulness of their earlier work. Good nonetheless.
