Wait, how? 

[fightoffyour]

Google kingdom leaks

[dentalplan]

It is easy to find

[zeppelin]

Yeah in hindsight I've got hold of loads of albums in the past. I was thinking from an official capacity. Carry on... 

[Diva Sam]

haha nah. Kingdom baby. 

But a few people had the vinyl last week. 

God I wish Matt was fronting Where is Her Head.

[jyoung]

Looking forward to reading the reviews on here. I'll probably wait until Friday. Something to look forward to and all that.

[fightoffyour]

That was the YHYSWY vinyl wasn't it?

 

Anyway RYLAN is absolutely huge on record, as it was at the recent live shows.

AOTY obvs. 

[Diva Sam]

Nah I saw on Reddit a lot of kids (they're not kids) had received the IAETF vinyl and I was perving on the lyrics.

I only just got this reference!

[fightoffyour]

Well that was glorious.

[y0ungtitan]

Really good. As far as the unheard stuff goes, the standouts for me are Obvivions, The Pull of You and Where is Her Head. Needs a few more listens but really happy with it on first listen.

I'm off on a stag do on Friday so have downloaded it now. Might wait til I'm not in the office to listen though. 

 

100% going to put it on immediately ?

[Diva Sam]

Oblivions is great.
Where is her head is great.
Rylan is great (minus the second verse, I just dont think the softness of it fits the whole vibe)
 

[jparx]

Better or worse than Sleep Well Beast on first listen? Sleep Well Beast still hasn't fully grown on me despite sound standout tunes, so I'm hoping for more from this.

I always hold off listening to any leaks or individual tracks other than the lead single. I prefer to wait.

To get hold of the record? Fair enough, but mine's in the post (or not), to a country where I no longer live. And I don't have a record player (yet). 

[grayfitz]

I went to a screening of the short film and full-playthrough of the album on Sunday night in London and having had 2 days to mull it over, it's better than SWB.

There are a couple songs on the new album that are up there with their best yet and the entire thing flows beautifully.

Can't wait to listen to it again on Friday.

[Diva Sam]

Its better than SWB i think.

You barely hear Matt's vocals in Oblivions where as you hear only Matts in the film which is waaaaay better.
Also I don't like This Is The Kit annoyingly. 

[Splodge]

Aw, I've missed the preorder deadline for presale access for the UK tour by a couple of hours

If anyone would be kind enough to PM me the link/code that would be much appreciated. No worries of not.

Yeah I like to wait and hear it all on one go. Will have the digital version on at work on Friday then the vinyl should be waiting for me when I get in.

i cant imagine it selling out too quickly, at least im hoping it doesnt!

[jparx]

Is presale really necessary for this tour? Can't imagine them selling out Nottingham Arena at £45 a pop.
