Still no confirmation for me, maybe tomorrow
I've sometimes ordered things online, and have received the actual product before the confirmation. Either way, I hope it gets to you by Friday.
I'm half worried that in the next 2-3 days I'll go to answer the doorbell, and when I open it Ed is just gonna yell "LIGHTNING BOLT!" kick me in the nuts, and then run off laughing as he jumps into a Camaro being driven by Tim Bierman and blaring Getaway. And I'll never actually get my copy of the record.

I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. It's just like Christmas.
So did this happen? I'm champing at the bit to find out what you think of this thing.

Alright fellow NLC'ers... this is getting close. 4 days left on the countdown.
What songs are you guys most excited to hear? From some of the reviews I've read, Getaway and My Father's Son are the two I'm most curious about. I've held off on Sirens too (despite catching the opening lines on the radio a few times) so that one is a big question mark for me... for better or worse.

i'm pretty excited to hear everything, but the most intriguing for me is My Father's Son, and maybe Infallible.
but i'm definitely looking forward to it... this weekend will be busy enough for me (pearl jam concert saturday, then 2 thanksgiving dinners) that it won't be an issue waiting until tuesday to listen to it

From the little bit I've read or heard i think Im most excited for the 2 bass guitars on MFS but then after that Im most looking forward to the ones that were expected to be bad, LTRP, SBM and FD, just because if i enjoy those then Im thinking this album will be great
The physical CD is in my hands right now, didn't think it'll come today. Just have to press play now, thanks for having me and now I'm off to go in the No leak club for the 11th album.

If you are going to write up much of a review, post it in here as well with a spoiler tag, Im really looking forward to the thoughts of everyone in the club but don't wanna search through 100 pages looking for it if possible

I've read a lot of reviews here on the board, and I'm really excited to hear the entire thing. So many songs are so divisive. Infallible, Yellow Moon, etc etc. I'm really pumped about Getaway, MFS, and Pendulum for sure though.

it really does. And from the picture, I love the non-glossy paper that the cover made out of. Has that 60s/70s feel to it. The big red area almost feels like it was colored in with a marker. Hope it really looks like that

About 2.5 hours to go. As soon as I've sat down and had a listen, I'll post a short (spoiler tagged) first impression review here.
This is getting close.

I did a blind 'ranking' of how I THINK I'll like the songs. But I can't for the life of me remember where I put it...
