The Wildhearts

The album's out today, haven't got my copy yet, but has anyone else on the forum got it? Tell all what you think of the album. Is it good???


I hope it is, cause I'll buy that or Hot Fuzz instead.

Get both.

Dissapointed with Cargo, was hoping to get it a couple days early like the last Wildhearts album but according to their website theyve got them in stock and still havent dispatched my copy...hmm...

Both of my local record stores a) didn't have a clue who I was talking about and b) went "oh...Cargo...not much chance there then" after I explained.

Sadly think a trip up to HMV or Virgin might be neccessary.

If it's anything like my HMV, I was told that it would take around 4 weeks!!!

Got mine from hmv Japan today

Great stuff best cj has produced yet (and i was a massive fan of honeycrack)

Japanese bonus tracks are :

Run (demo version)
Yeah (demo version)

I ordered it from play.com and was hoping it would arrive today, but sadly not

Orderd is from HMV UK but havent herd anything today

Gutted as Ive orderd Yoni (which arived 2 days early) , We are the lucky 13 (which arived 2 days early too) and The WiLDHEARTS (which came on the monday morning) so expected HMV to keep up the good run. Never really understood before why eveyone here slates the HMV UK delivery but Im begining to see why.

Cant wait to hear this album! Think the songs on CJ's myspace are pure class Lets hope the album follows the curse of every Wildhearts spin off album bein a classic as Cj deserves it! Anyone else thinking forgotten guitar melody legend? And an ace guy to boot!

Got mine from Japan on Sat and it's a cracking album, really catchy, quite varied and not as sugary sweet as the Jellys could be at times. I had high hopes for this album and I wasn't disappointed, good work CJ!

"Get Out Of My Way" is my personal fave track and to be honest it wouldn't sound out of place on a Wildhearts album.

If you are in two minds about buying this then don't be just buy it!

My Cargo copy showed up this morning, Id already heard most of the tracks from his myspace or radio interviews but the final versions sound great. The songs are great too, and I agree that Get Out Of My Way sounds like it could fit a Wildhearts album, that was my favorite of the demo's and probably my favorite of the album at the moment, and I can imagine it doing rather well if it had the Wildhearts name and promotion scale behind it it the Wildhearts had released it as a summer single...
A fair few tracks sounded to me like the kinda stuff you get repeatedly played on the radio in the summer holiday months..

Tried HMV and Virgin at Merry Hill yesterday, no joy. They both said they would need to order it in. Ill try Worcester this PM and if not its teh interwebs.

Was quite surprised that my HMV had it when I went today but decided not to complain.
First impressions are good. Should be a good summer time album, for those of us that actually enjoy summer.

£13 is a bit steep though :/

Seemingly it is. Still nothing.

I will get a copy before Christmas, oh yes...

Ordered mine last Friday, received it today.

Cargo does the business yet again, had to pay £9.99 (£3 more than HMV have it for, but at least I get it quickly!!!)

First listen, quite good, feelgood pop/ rock

Got mine yesterday - excellent service (yet again) from Cargo.

The albums brilliant - I've not been able to stop listening to it. It's got an amazing summery feel to it - best tracks (IMIO) are This Is Reality (incredibly classy track) and Forgot Myself Again (although it sounds remarkably like another song by another artist - can't quite place who tho). Really hope CJ tours this album (or at least plays a London show) - would love to hear these songs live. Shame the DVD never happened though....
