Yah, like a giddy schoolgirl, I went and bought it on its release date, 10/12. I haven't done that since high school. (Kind of silly, but I'm excited that the guys are back together, and I want to support them. They still got it!)

I agree with everything KYYX said. Especially about Bedroom Toys, ugh. Two of my friends went to Virgin in NYC and actually got to meet (and got autographed copies) of the new CD. I really wish I could have gone. *sigh*

That's cool about your friends, Natephish--lucky them !
Yah, "Bedroom Toys" is silly. Promising funky bassline/guitar work, but the song just dissolves in random silliness. But what would a DD cd be w/out some Simon silliness !

I was at the concert where they filmed the Reflex video. I still can't find myself in it though.

I got the deluxe edition as well and I am quite happy with it. "Sunrise" is a bit frothy and "Bedroom Toys" is a bit corny, but I was expecting to be disappointed yet ended up pleasantly surprised. My favorite tracks are "Nice" and "What Happens Tomorrow.
