This came out on April Fools day here in the U.S. and Canada...
I'm probably going to get this for my birthday (April 30th), even though I really don't like their views on our country and some of the lyrics.
Overall, I think they are a great band and really like them.

I usually like their stuff... "Supernatural Serious" is their best in a long time, so I'm hoping for more of that on this album

I just recently downloaded tons of their songs I never heard before (singles that weren't huge) and listened to their live CD and I am really like them.

I like all of their work that I've heard, including their more recent sleepy stuff (although I never heard anything from "Around the Sun"). If you haven't heard it, "Imitation of Life" is one of their best songs IMO.
This album is supposed to be a return to their old style...although this band has changed styles so many times in 14 albums that it's crazy. Shows why these guys are the kings of the alternative genre.

I haven't had a chance to hear the Around The Sun singles (non charted in US) but I did download them. I have every song except for one that charted in US on any rock or pop chart and a few that only charted in the UK

Now a figure of speech for successful comeback music acts!

^Glad to hear that! This album debuted at #2 on The Billboard Top 200...damn if that hillbilly George Strait would've waited another week....
