I just got it yesterday. Holy shit man. What a way to make a day of work go by. It's so good it gives my goosebumps. I can't even really collect my thoughts about this album together into a coherent sentence that appropriately descrives how fucking good it is. It has everything a good Wildhearts record should have - and then some. It's so premature to say something like this, but what the hell: This might be my favourite album OF ALL TIME.
Fuckin' eh!!!
The Japanese version is well worth it too. The last two tracks might be the least kick-ass of the bunch; however, any other band would be proud to just cover those songs. TO answer someone's question, I wouldn't be surprised at all if these were B-sides for later on. I hope not though. Only disappointment is the packaging. I got a sweet picture book, a standard japanese/english lyric book, and a nice OBI strip, but it's just a single-fold digipack with not even a sleeve to put it in. It just sits there. Bummer.... But I'll live.
