Having taken delivery of 4 versions of the vinyl, there's no Paradise numbers anywhere to be seen. Do I take it they've dropped the use of Paradise numbers entirely now..? That's such a shame. Just received my XRay vinyl which is so pretty though. It's a beaut isn't it. One of the best that Blood Records have produced since I started watching for their Ltd Edt versions.

The Blood Records one is amazing. If they had done a West Ryder anniversary edition that's what it should have looked like.

Has anyone received their pre-orders from the official store? I haven’t even received a dispatch notice yet. Yes, I received my vinyl, CD and casette bundle today. I got my Noel Fielding artwork version yesterday. Ah damn, why haven’t I got mine :-( Did you get an email to say it was dispatched?

I got an email for both on 10th from customerservices@bsimerch.comCheck your spam folder. May be worth sending on your order confirmation email (if you kept it) to that ^^ email address asking for an update?

First day streams. Old Skool is higher because that was the one that Spotify delivered into people's Release Radar playlists.

I've seen lots of people shitting on this record, for whatever stupid reason. This is not their best, but a really good album. And it's not sounding overproduced, like FCOL or 48:13. Liking it very much. The Ultraview could be my non-single favourite.

To be honest their chemistry is kinda missing but otherwise it's an amazing album definitely up there with the rest, it's not their best but I feel like it's better than FCOL, 48:13 or Empire even though it doesn't have as iconic tunes as Shoot the Runner or Doberman.

Oh it's definitely better than FCOL, production wise.

It definitely feels more cohesive than FCOL. Overall I like the songs on FCOL better than AE but as an album it always felt lacking somehow.
Is there a way to see how it's selling so far?

I'm not hating on FCOL either, it definitely has some nice songs but at the moment I like AE better. The only song on AE that I didn't like on the first listens was stargazr, the start sounds like a youtube ad but the second part is pretty good. According to Amazon and Itunes store it doesn't sell as good as friday or saturday when it was number one, it's out of the top10 now but the ones above if I'm not mistaken are older albums. I'm also interested for concrete numbers if anyone has any idea. *edit on the Itunes Store there is Cheat Codes by Danger Mouse & Black Thought at number 5 which was released at the same day as AE.

How bad is Rocket Fuel? Jesus 😂 It took me the longest to wrap my head around. It gets me pumped now, but it's def the weakest song on the album for me
