OT : how do we add a signature pic on the new forum? I had my sig from the old forum carried in, but the moment I tried changing it here on the new one, it didn't work anymore.

hahaha, best part of thread is all the times Jeanie says it will be her last post on the subject until release date! :lol:

Pooter, Biff - wait til after 5 when I get home from work (thank god we are in the same time zone!)

stash said there was an orgy in the making on the board and he was right. I could not wait to go to lunch today.

I think I will hold off on saying too much right now because I only have a little time on my lunch break... but this album blew my socks off. It covered an entire tapestry of emotions from the nervousness you feel when you got glint in your eye before a good night out, to the overwhelming sense of joy you get when the music lifts your spirits, to when the night goes a bit silly, to the melancholy and pensive feelings you get when the night is over and you have to succumb to sleep and reality. It is an amazing album, amazing in so many ways. It makes me want to dance, and there are some tracks that swell with so much beauty they literally took my breath away when I first heard them. I have been bursting for discussion for days, have had Battle Scars and The Pills Wont Help You Now in my head since Sunday morning - but I will only say that much on the subject, for now.

Now on to the guilty feelings part - I know getting this album beforehand was naughty and in a lot of ways I feel bad if I have upset the Chems. I would never want to make them angry or disappointed in me, as a fan. It cannot be stressed enough that those of us who were naughty children will make every effort to support the Chems regardless of how the album was obtained beforehand. At least for me, going on 8 years, I have no plan of stopping my support and love for the music.

To those of you who are good boys and girls waiting til release day - you are in for a big and wonderful surprise that will invigorate your senses and soul and blow your mind.

Whirly, may the energy of majestic souls fill your world with good karma. ::hugs::

I've only heard a few of the tunes off the new album and i'm in love, return to form!!

I'm about to go into a seizure after reading all this!

...

...

Okay, my brain has rebooted, onto some questions:

-What is the name of the song they played at Womb in that video?

-How much better is Saturate in its full quality?

-Whats the album version of DIA like compared to the other versions?

... ok, well, I can't think any more, I'm going to rock back and forth in the fetal position until I hear this when it comes out.

Well, I've only heard DIA, Das Spiegel, and Salmon Dance.

I found Salmon Dance to be quite quirky and the first Chem Bros song I've ever laughed at.

I really don't think I want to hear any other songs from WATN.

I must admit, first time I heard Salmon Dance I thought I had downloaded the wrong song.

However its so funny.

No worries here though as I will be buying 2 copies of WATN when it comes out, got multiple copies of all past albums :)

"Anyone remember - Never said it was sunshine, but u took it all the time? All at a time, all the time! ?

NOW - Let it show u how, IT FEEEEEEEELS TO BE TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... SO ACID! Yet warning u of the consequences involved, and what all could happen - so the Chems have always been honest as fuck."

Yeah that's it, but it took them 4 albums to get there!!

This thread is killing me. I'm going to try not to read any more, but I know I won't be able to avoid the forum for a full month. God dammit. The Chems are releasing their seminal work, and I just had to make a stupid pact with myself to hold out until the official release date. I'm an idiot. And you're all fuckheads.

Damn you all!!! The album isn't out yet but it's already there, floating on the net and almost everybody have heard bits of it. This is fucking annoying!

EPIC! I creamed my pants 12 times.

SPOILERS*

I love The Sunshine Underground bit in WATN.

:lol: Once for each track, right mx? It sounds like you have some laundry to do, son.

And Pooter, hugs back at ya!

And the The Reel bit, too - sorta like how they end it live... I nearly had heart failure!!

If i could choose only 1 track that represents The Chemical Brothers whole music it would be We Are The Night.

I am SERIOUSLY impressed. Very Very VEry Happy with this record!

We Are The Night (the song) is sonic ecstasy, it gets the heart rate going, the earth shaking bass and the drifting synths and rocketship lift-off sounds feel like they're headed toward the galaxy. That is going to explode like a motherfucking bomb of nuclear proportions at the live shows. And you know they are going to play this live. You know it!

We're going out camping at Joshua Tree this weekend, out under the stars and satellites. I am so looking forward to stargazing in the desert, and having this music will make the experience all the more amazing...

Hey Whrily--e-mail me some good news.

You read my mind Whirly! :D

I know all this talk about the album gives me somewhat mixed feelings of hesitation, but I need to put this out there. Just thinking about my trip to the desert and these beautiful tunes.

The artwork. Now when I see the artwork for the album cover I think it's perfect, it sums it all up, it completes the music. I've always been one for having my tangibles and mp3's (though the music is there) are really not as exciting as the real deal you can hold in your hands... or having it on display on a velvet pillow under a spotlight... however you decide to show off your Chems albums. I am a little old fashioned that way having worked at Tower for as long as I did. But I am looking forward to running out and buying this album on my lunch hour the day of release. If anything, having heard it first makes me want the real thing even more than I did before (not that I doubted ever wanting We Are The Night). And if they don't have it at the closest FYE by my work, then I'll head over to Best Buy to get it. As much as I hate buying my music there it's still better than having ordered it online - that ripping off the plastic, disengaging the cd from the case and popping it into the stereo and driving off the lot with the album at full blast. I wouldn't trade that feeling for anything... But yeah. The artwork. I'm excited and hope to be inspired by the accompanying art that comes with the album. Just thinking about it makes me want to make another giant wallboard display like the Star Guitar one that's hanging in my living room...

OK, I'm in serious babble mode!

^There's nothing like the smell of a new CD especially if it's from the brothers, I´m gonna buy it 3 times like any other chem album (1 for the car, 1 for the collection and one for the stereo) plus the LP.

Excitement levels reaching critical mass.

Seriously.

I don't even think I was this excited when we were hanging on to the release of Push The Button. And I was really fricken excited. If I was this excited, my excitement now is overshadowing what I felt for Push The Button.

I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when I go to see them live. I don't know how I'm going to maintain and keep myself from spontaneously combusting.

God. I sound CRAZED!!
