Don't listen! It was so cool to listen to a purely new Eisley song from start to finish. Especially one that good. Well, you wont' ruin anything listening to the clip. But it's just better and more special to wait a few more days and get it. Smile

So I got the album in the mail today from the WB. I didn't get the buttons either because they're on "backorder". That's cool though...I like getting things in the mail so now I'll get another package.
Why are the printed lyrics different from what is actually sang? Does that mean some WB lackey tried to transcribe what they heard and got them wrong or I am just hearing what I want to hear?
Anyway...it sounds beautiful and I'm lookin' forward to seeing them in Detroit even though I'll have to endure the other bands on the tour.

Isn't Lost at Sea the remix supposed to be an extra track? It's not on mine...

The lyrics are different? Boyd did all of that himself, I've even heard him check lines with Sherri.

Mad Mad Mad Gah, I'm going to have a heart attack. I assumed that the cds that were pre-ordered wouldn't ship until the monday before so I decided not to order it...

eprfgslkvmfsdgorprfsxcxmc!!!!! Not fair. But thanks to FCAT writes on Tuesday I don't need to go in to school until about 12 noon which means I'm getting up bright and early to get my copy before I go to school. I just might stand outside Best Buy before it opens if I don't find it at Walmart.

I should have ordered it anyway because God knows this will be the only cd that might get some scratches from constant playing.

does anyone else think the WONDERFUL mister pine and sunfeet should have been on the record?
and maybe even over the mountains we go.

but as they said...there were too many good songs and not enough track space!

I would've taken off:

"Telescope Eyes"
"Brightly Wound"
"My Lovely"
"Plenty of Paper"
"Lost At Sea (Remix)"

And added:

"They All Surrounded Me"
"Lady of the Wood"
"Mr. Pine"
"Sunfeet"

But that's just me... I hope that what was decided on for the tracklisting does the job in earning them widespread enough success that they have more freedom to do what they want with their albums in the future.

i don't think the band were very interested in rerecording Telescope Eyes or messing with Brightly Wound.

surely they are saving the tracks that ben mentioned for LP 2 or one of the greatest ep's of all time.

no one told me if the Room Noises CD has any kind of computer stuff on it.

No, it doesn't have any computer-special-features.
I'm glad to hear that ya'll got some sort of information about the buttons... we were a wee bit concerned.
I don't remember hearing the the LaS remix would be on the cd, but, personally, I don't mind the lack of it.

In summary, I'd say: with this cd, you don't need a lot of extras... It's fabulous standing alone.
[Ok, I still want my buttons.]

Hm, I would agree with Telescope Eyes being taken off... but then again I think that song has been so beaten to death, that mostly everyone here would... but for the rest I'd have to disagree.

I'd probably take off Telescope Eyes, I Wasn't Prepared and Marvelous Things. I would leave Memories because I love it. However, I think that since those songs were on the EP, they should have been let go. I love them and all, but it's not as exciting when you get a new CD, and you already know 50% of the songs because you have the EPs with them.

I would have replaced them with Mr. Pine, Sunfeet and Silver Bugs.

But no complaints from me. I love the CD.
