Anyone else not bothered?

Is anyone else apart from myself genuinely not that bothered by the album release?

I hate to say this, but, I don't think I am?

In a way I almost feel slightly confused by the whole 'hype' at the moment - the album clearly isn't for the purist - which is fair enough, each band has to evolve
or experiment and I have no qualms with that.

For me, I just don't feel excited, I might not even attempt to find a ticket for Shepherds Bush.

To be fair there aren't a lot of CDs to buy yet!

Not for the single, no. Unless you count the radio promo CD that turned up on eBay.

The album will be, in the usual multiple versions though.

I shouldn't even be in this thread, I am most definitely bothered.

Probably buy on iTunes first and then order the CD. Did not order the single. No useable record player.

wouldn't say "not bothered" but not too excited either. which is odd, as i have kind of really liked the two tracks thus far.

priorities shift over the years, i guess. i mean it's great that they are still on the go and making music of interest, but a new album by anyone isn't the be all and end all of life anymore. i fondly remember the days when it was!

Prefacing this by saying that I don't mind if people aren't excited about it (hell, even I'm not bouncing around waiting impatiently even though I really want to hear it) but...

I'm excited but I probably have been distracted by other stuff of late, such is life. I'll be bouncing around when I have the album in my hands though!

I'm intrigued but not excited. The two full songs we've heard from the album leave me with nothing more than a shrug and the bside a very similar feeling. The samples of the album on Amazon sound like the prettier bsides from SATT and PFAYM. After a few listens I'm certain I'll enjoy Rewind The Film but I doubt it'll sneak up on me the way Lifeblood did.
