i'd like this badly...can't find any info on it...was it a giveaway ?

Japan release...
 

I see that has another songs than the official release in jp...


:(

Wow! Japanese cats get the primo bitchen epic shit!

I love this album after one listen, fantastic songs. I don't see why anyone would be remotely disappointed, unless you're expecting an album of songs that sound like In The Kingdom 19.

Those "old men" are probably children compared to me.

Oh, and there's only one of them. And he has major depressive disorder with manic tendencies. :)

Also his avatar makes me hear the charlie brown music.

Why am I so dunk on a Sunday night? Lol :)

3 demos are up on the japanese itunes, if anyone has an account

Finally got mine today! (It was in the post yesterday, but I was so late at home that got it this morning). I don´t know, does anything matter these days, but I think it is quite great I got it it´s release day!

I have listened it once properly and I have to say it´s just great! And I know somebody not gonna like this, but I just have to compare it Thurston´s Demolished (I think it´s very natural, both are SY guitarists and there is not even a year between their albums). Of course those albums are different, Lee is sounding Lee and Thurston Thurston. But I still find a lot in common. Both album a greatly influenced by the sixties/seventies music, but really aren´t kind of nostalgic trips. They both sound just very fresh and warm, a kind of music that is very rare these days. Most of the both albums are just great, but they have also few ok songs that fit well in the entity but anyway are a little mediocre (Lee Lost and Stranded, Thurston Blood never Lies and Space). Thurston´s album main element is light, but there´s more something dark in the Lee´s. But that darkness in not attacking, both albums have serene maturity that anyone who has only twenty years life behind couldn´t achieve.

And yes, this solo isn´t also as great as SY-records. But I´m really glad Lee made it, because it´s lot better than there isn´t any Sonic-related releases. Both solos are so great that I´m not worried anymore if SY never will make anything.

I think fans who don´t like this album are just stuck something that don´t exist anymore. All I can say to them is that they should move away from SY to something else.

You folks already got yrs?

Damn, isn't the release date today?

I will probably have mine in a few days since it's probaly shipped today from where I pre-ordered it.

Here is a CBC interview with Lee

I think this is going to be the type of album that grows on you instead of makes you fall over on the first listen...but it is growing nicely indeed so far. My first instinct was that I wished it could have been more experimental but when considering the rest of his solo output*, I'm glad he finally got around to making an album like this! :)

*which I adore, but sometimes one or two "song" songs per SY album just isn't enough!

I really wanted to walk into my local record store and buy this on the day of release. Unfortunately, they didn't have it, so now I have one en route from Amazon and one coming from Amoeba. The race is on, though I'll be thrilled if either one of them gets here by the end of the week (and we don't get mail on weekends in Canada). The runner-up will be a birthday gift.

I've still only heard the track from the Matador loss leaders comp! Very excited to finally sit down and spin this...

This record isn't that interesting as I thought it will be. I kinda forgot about it after few listens, but still there's one highlight "Xtina as I knew her". And again John Agnello's production... it's boring, that's why Thurston's Demolished Thoughts is much better and fresher than Lee's Between the Times and the Tides.

I'd be happy if someone after listening will write an objective opinion. Not fan's praise.

Anyway here's Pitchofork's review, with which I kinda agree: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/...and-the-tides/

Do I hear some 60's classic rock on this album? I swear I heard some Hendrix influence.
