Royal Blood's 2nd LP "How Did We Get So Dark?" is coming June 16th!

Apparently not! I used the Amazon link in post #10 of this thread, and it went through no problem.

They send an email at 03:00 today (!) advising that they are awaiting stock. I've sent them an email, but I expect it'll be the usual 'suppliers let us down' that they normally send.

Disappointing I suppose, but what can you do?

 

I have found Amazon do this too often, I don't generally get a raw deal with Amazon so I can't complain to harshly about them but taking far more orders for limited items leads to most people being let down. I hope you get sorted.

 

I didn't know this was coming out until today. It's a shame whatever press they had didn't filter down to me. Glad that Amazon delivers on Sunday!

 

I have ordered through Canada webstore, still no info regarding shipping. Glad they made 3 already released singles available though.

No sophomore slump here. Solid.

 

As I exected after their debut. But in case of the s/t vinyl definitely sounds better. Hopefully they did the same with the new one.

 

She's Creeping is an awesome song.

Great groove with the accents on the open hihat.

 

Just saw Royal Thunder on NPR's Tiny Desk, they are interesting too, it's obviously easy to confuse the band names!

 

Ok, so the indie white vinyl--is this just a U.K. release? I see it was a different barcode than the standard, but I haven't gone to a store yet to look for it.

Just curious.

 

I can not wait to see these played live--and with Queens of the Stone Age, to boot!

 

The Signed Deluxe Ltd Edition version from their website that arrived the day before yesterday is not signed and I have read other people saying the same elsewhere too, RB released a note saying that it is on the inside of the sleeve but there is non on mine. Worth having a proper look for those who ordered it from them.

 

Rock is not dead yet, great band!

 

My "signed" did arrive without any signings. I have been listening to this for a while now,and think it is good,but a step down from their first album. For me their first is a 9/10,and this new one i would rank 7/10

 

Insta-purchase, based on the strength of their first album and EP. Definitely going to see them in October.

 

I finally picked up this album on vinyl. Its superb. Pressing is very quiet and the sonics are great - punchy and dynamic.

So much sound from just drum n bass.

 

Yeah, I got white vinyl for now since my deluxe is still somewhere in between Canada and Russia haha) Or maybe on its way from Moscow Customs...
So far I'm happier with vinyl sound than with digital version once again. It's like they followed the same formula mastering-wise. Don't see a message or signature in the deadwax, but the sound is very similar, big, bassy and quite entertaining.

 

Just got clued into these guys a few day ago and I'm impressed. A perfect answer to anyone who says rock is dead.

 

I just bought tickets to see them in St. Pete in June it's gonna be awesome!

 

Playing this one again, almost one year after first release.

It didn't get as much plays as their first CD. But it has some great tracks as well.

But that impact of their first album...
Still remember when I saw a concert of them on TV, they made me play rock again.

The art work on the first album was also almost impossible to beat.

These kids kick ass!

 

Uhuh, I really hope they bring back their "rawness" together on the 3rd effort.

 

I would like to see them working again with the same artist. I know bands must change... but that guy still had so much to offer

 

Love this album, and the debut! They rock hard!

 

Just listening to the album on vinyl for the first time, very good to great! Sounds great on vinyl. Vinyl has a few pops but overall not too bad. As Larry David would say "it's pretty, pretty pretty good...."

 

Anybody else see the post they made on Twitter with the date September 24th? New single? Hmmmmmm
