not really into the first track, but the second tracks rules hard.

Why is it that the people who order their copy legitimitely will be the last to hear this? I'm still waiting on my copy.

i'm still waiting on my copy as well, but curiosity got the better of me.

I hit the indie record store.

they had copies.

the whole thing RULES

I can overstand that, it's been getting the better of me, but somehow I've held off.

Still waiting on my vinyl, but I listened to me eMusic copy this morning. "J'Accuse" is incredible. I actually like it more than "Agnes B"

Got mine today!Wohoo!!! Had a smoke, got under my duvet, and threw on the record-Unbelievable! Love both tracks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Agnes B" is especially beautiful.....

i really like Agnes B.

got mine today too and i am going to listen to it as soon as i can get the shrink wrap off!

i like agnes b alot

didn't like the vocals/lyrics on side 1,although i feel a strange urge to read good housekeeping

I just realized something, forgive me if its already been mentioned.

Is the picture of Thurston on the cover from a magazine/newspaper with a bad review for a "Goodbye 20th Century" show. If it is that would be pretty awesome... I mean it says "THURSTON MOORE, GOODBYE 20TH CENTURY, GOODBYE TALENT"

hah, it's funny then. i didn't know that.

it is. i remember seeing it a few years ago, i believe it was a british music rag.

Might have been the NME, I hate those bastards!

It was indeed the NME.

I hit up 4 indie stores today looking for this - one had sold out already, 2 weren't expecting them until the middle of next week and the last one had no idea what I was talking about but said "um, yeah, I think that's been delayed actually". Bah!

How can they put down Sonic Youth when they hype up some of the worst bands ever?

Because they're an agenda-driven machine. They exist to promote the latest drivel and make money by doing so; not to respect good bands who are already established and don't need or care about NME.

It's a shame kids latch onto what they write about.

J'Accuse Ted Hughes is a gorgeous, dreamy mindfuck, even more potent than I recalled it. Listening to it now, it reminds me a lot of the Mirror/Dash side I Can't Be Bought...

weird how pitchfork hasn't reviewed it yet. how am I suppose to know if I like it or not?
