Got tickets to see them in Toronto for a 4th time. Liking the sound of the snippet they released.
Yeah I didn't get tickets.Didn't get tickets but good to see they've taken steps to stop touting. Not for sale on Seatwave and they're saying the ticket holder must show ID that matches the name on the ticket.
Yeah its not really workable when you have a few thousand people queuing to get in but even random checks might be enough to put people off buying them 2nd hand. I know I wouldn't chance it now.Yeah I didn't get tickets.
I went Arcade Fire last week and they did the same thing regarding ID etc...I didn't get IDed so could of easily sold the ticket. I doubt the arena will check really.
Yeah before I went in they were seemingly stopping a few people and might of done them. Once it got a bit later everyone was just walking through. Even the security search took about 5 seconds.Yeah its not really workable when you have a few thousand people queuing to get in but even random checks might be enough to put people off buying them 2nd hand.

How bad/good is the quality?Apparently there's a low quality rip of the album floating around on the internet if any of ye literally can't wait.
Based on the way the album has been described thus far, I suspect it will be divisive.
Someone streamed it on their instagram account and it was ripped from that, I think. It's poor enough that I heard a snippet and decided to wait.How bad/good is the quality?
any notable similarities/difference with their older stuff?Apparently there's a low quality rip of the album floating around on the internet if any of ye literally can't wait.

Apparently it's a new style, which isn't surprising considering every album of theirs is different.any notable similarities/difference with their older stuff?
I've avoided listening to it thus far because of the sound quality but everything I've read suggests it's very different from other AM records. As per reviews it's more like a mid-paced, croony Alex Turner solo album with songs that were written largely on piano. Drums/guitars much reduced, few immediately anthemic songs.any notable similarities/difference with their older stuff?
Sort of but not really.More last shadow puppets then?
Linky link? So I can report it.I found a high quality version of the album on SoundCloud and it's definetly a grower. So spacey . To describe it imagine yourself as a high class businessman drinking whiskey in the poshest bar you can find on the moon in the year 2100 reminiscing about the past. Better than AM but some songs are forgetful.
Would also very much appreciate a link so I can inform the relevant authorities.Linky link? So I can report it.

I like it, love how versatile this band is.So those who heard the leak how do you think it compares to their previous work?
Agreed. I thought it was their best work in years. Sadly, this is nothing like that. Back to the Humbug/SIAS years with a Bowie, spacey synthetic (over?) experimental twist.Hmm, I liked AM.
Yeah it was.AM was very good I thought?
Humbugs my favourite too. Has brilliant, slow, thought provoking songs like Cornerstone and then epic dark guitar songs like My Propeller.Yeah it was.
You'll find opinions differ wildly on which album people prefer though. Personally I think Humbug is the best thing they've ever done.
Yeah them switching styles a bit every album definitely split opinions on every album, my personal favorite is their first album and my least favorite is Humbug.Yeah it was.
