Wow really? that's rare. Also, it seems all of us who bought vinyl copies from the shop got an MP3 download of the album, that made my day

I noticed that the MP3 copy from the official store is actually 192kbps, not 320? come on...

The deluxe CD packaging is nice. It’s the same size as The Road Part 1, which is good. I don’t like the cover though. Is the album called Ar:Mour? No, it isn’t.
Jack Leonard must have a massive ego, insisting on being credited as co-producer when he is nothing to do with UNKLE.

Got my vinyl today ordered from the store. Corner of vinyl sleeve bashed in but frankly can’t be arsed with the hassle of returning etc. But given they charged £9.99 to send, it’s pretty disappointing.

Listened to it a few times today. Pretty underwhelmed so far. No real standout tracks, apart from The Other Side, but I bought that the day the single was released.
I’m hoping it’s a grower and I’ll start to notice some subtleties in individual tracks over time.

Unsurprisingly - I haven't received my order yet (as I'm in the US), but I at least have the digital version.
I haven't been able to listen to it straight through quite yet, just a bit here and there. Right off the bat though, I'm definitely liking it more than Part One.
However, it does seem a bit "long" - like each disc is at least 40 minutes. I'd wager, you could take out a few tracks (release them as bsides) and you'd have a better "album" (sort of like the difference between The Clash's "Sandinista!" and "Sandinista Now!")
I'm also not totally 'sold' on Miink or Elliott Power's vocals, but strangely - I still really like "Ar.Mour"
"Powder Man" "Kubrick" and "Find an Outsider" are also standing out for me. Like, if I condensed this to one disc, I'd definitely favor cd 2.

Nothing has arrived here yet even though I am in Central Europe. Did any one win £500 worth of rare UNKLE merch? There was a tweet saying that if you buy directly on the UNKLE Official Store, you would be entered into this competition.
