Just found out about it through Sound Opinions:

Sounds interesting, as always.
Yet another one that I will be picking up.

And here be the (slightly less rhapsodic, but still positive) AllMusic review: LINK

Still... gettin' it.

i do not really care for this album, but the single with danger mouse is pretty catchy.

he was very mediocre when i saw him last month, unfortunately.

I haven't been very impressed with anything he's released in a long time. I'd read a review for this which made it sound stylistically (if not quality-wise) closer to Paris 1919 than to his recent records so I am at least somewhat curious. I might check it out but it's not a big priority and I don't have much in the way of expectations for it. I have enjoyed his live show though the past 2 or 3 times I've seen him. FWIW, I noticed that it had leaked on that exystence blog recently.

This pretty much sums it up for me, too.
But I think that I am probably more curious than you, bg.

I picked up Paris 1919 a few years back and enjoyed it for a time. Any other of his solo stuff worth checking out?

vintage violence is also very worthwhile. slow dazzle and helen of troy would be good picks if you want to dig deeper.

Those three and "Fear." Personally, I like Fear more than Slow Dazzle or Helen of Troy. The best way to go though would be to buy The Island Years comp which has includes all three if you can find a used copy.
