I love the record personally.

I think that Scarlett has gotten a lot of undue criticism from the majority of the public. I am a die hard Tom Waits fan and I think she has done these songs justice, and done them very well in her own way.  No she doesn't have a voice like a pop star, but she doesn't need to, because then she would be just like everyone else. I think this record is not for the general public because most people won't get it. She loves music, loves Tom Waits, she can carry a tune, why not make a record if you want to. Many people have done far worse in the past.  If you don't like the record, ok, but lets not belittle someone for doing something they love, and doing a pretty good job at it too.

I love music. I love running. I didn't think there could really be a great record about running. I LOVE this record!! There's a little bit of everything and the production is really fantastic! I'll be training with this and just rocking to it in my car. Thank you!!

First of all, I love Skillet, so I'm surely biased. I like this record. I'm listing to it over and over. The addition of the DVD with the physical CD is also a nice touch. To be honest, it's not a perfect record and I would change some stuff. But overall I can recognize Skillet in who they are, style and thinking which is enough for me to give 5 stars. I would definitely recommend to any Skillet fan... btw, my 3 and 5 years old also like this record ;-)

Been a fan since Trunk Muzik was released and haven't heard anything much that I've completely disliked since but this particular records is pretty epic. Will be repurchasing since I gave a close friend my copy as a thank you.

I love this album. The sound quality is amazing, and the overall packaging is superb. It has songs on it that I haven't heard before, which was a nice bonus. In my growing collection of vinyls, this is definitely my favorite.

I really like the other records, but this is my favorite.  Three Legged Fox still has their reggae rock thing going, but a little more on the rock side this time around.  I play this over and over in my car, and I never get tired of it.  The lead singer's voice is so full of feeling and the band's playing is smooth.  Looking forward to seeing them perform live when they get down my way.

They snuck this one in on me. Just stumbled upon it the other day and as with all their other records I cant get enough of it. Transistor was always my favorite record because of its length and spaceyness. these dudes are always impressive with their songwriting and playing, but this one seems a little better than the usual for some reason.

We saw them live so we bought this record.  It's really great.

The more I listen to this album, the more I love it. A near perfect record and I enjoy every song. One of my favorite records. Amazing work.

I love this album and it really comes to life on vinyl. Plus, the coloured records are an awesome twist on a classic medium for music.

For quite a while, I had this record suggested to me, but I hesitated to get it.  Mostly because from looking at the cover, it looks like it might be some kind of dark Metal band or something (mostly, now that I think about it, from the way David Hostetter is looking at the camera with his eye make-up).  Eventually though, I gave in and bought the record.  I'm really glad I did.

I'm a fan of good punk music, but unfortunately there's little (in my opinion) good stuff available at the moment.  Children 18:3, though, is definately one of the best ones I've ever heard.  Granted all their songs aren't straight up punk, there are other styles that you can feel the influences of, but it just makes for a much more interesting record and the punk stands as the most dominant style.  David and his sister Leemarie both have extremely strong vocal performances and tend to weave their voices together perfectly throughout the chaos of most of this record.

Lyrically, the record tends to remain cryptic, opting for a kind of "visual" lyrical style.  They tend to deal a wide variety of subjects, from the spiritual anthem for Jesus' followers in "Final," to inner conflict hidden from others in "ditches," to even abortion in "we're all so fond of dying."

All in all, this is a record for people ranging die-hard punk fans to people just loooking for a fresh sound in music.  Pick up this record, you WILL NOT be sorry ou did.

One of my personal favorite albums. I'm glad I could add it to my vinyl collection for so cheap.

Aside from the fact that it's AC/DC (which already makes it awesome) the presentation of this record excellent. Inside the black sleeve is another that hold the record with pics of the band. It sounds great and looks good.

I've had these two records in my posession for almost seven years and I finally ordered this record player so I could listen to them. I feel so in touch and in line with myself and my music when it comes out this way, it's beautiful. It's perfect especially if you don't want to drop $$$$ and you aren't a huge audiophile. JUST DO IT

Clarity is my favorite record. Too bad the listening experience is a bit tarnished by the extra tracks. For the price, they could have stuck those on a nice 7" or something.

Well it is to me. Not since NWA's Straight Outta Compton have I enjoyed a record so much, yet related to the lyrics so little. This is a great, great album. They are great musicians and songwriters and the arrangements are quite interesting.
I remember going through a Paul Simon phase and thinking about how I'd like to start a band that copped that sound a little bit, and Vampire Weekend do that, but in their own unique and fun way.
I don't own the first album (GASP!) not yet anyway so I can't make any comparisons but for me this album stands on it's own.

I bought mine direct from the Vampire Weekend website and when you buy (the vinyl) through them (Kung Fu Nation), you get an instant MP3 download AND the record comes with a bonus CD of unreleased re-mixes.
If you do buy it from Kung Fu you will notice they charge $10 shipping but if you call them they will tell you how you can have it sent mediamail for 3.50.
