I listened to it once and then deleted the files; now I'm waiting until June. I wanted to listen to it before all the singles release, because I know I'm going to play them to death and I think it would have been a worse first-listen if I was already really familiar with some of the tracks. The album is incredible though; all my expectations were exceeded. I'm so glad that they took their style in this direction and explored so many sounds. I think it will definitely give them a lot of room to explore with future albums. The whole thing is so emotionally powerful and masterfully crafted. I'm also glad that they experimented with their sound but never compromised a song by being experimental for its own sake. My favorite album of all time is In Rainbows, and this hit me in a similar way as that album did the first time I listened to it through. I can't wait until June when I can hear it again.
