That looks great. I love the inside picture of her in that dress with the boots. Verra sex-ay. So is that some sort of new cd case it's coming in?

Post by: nosticker on October 05, 2007, 01:51:20 pm
Wow!  2 songs mixed by Bill Bottrell, who is a musical hero.  He produced Sheryl Crow's breakthrough album(but that's not really why he's my hero)

Mastered by Emily Lazar, who has done great work, especially for Kristin Hoffmann's first CD.

Don't have this yet.  Shall be picking it up lunchtime Tuesday!

How much of the artwork did Vanessa do? Because I noticed she must have written the songs on the back by hand, and probably the writing on the front cover too...Did she do any of the fancy stuff too, like the boarder for example?

And oooh, it looks sooo pretty. Love the back cover! Very whimsical.

The CD case is a new type of CD case, we have them for the CDs since about 6months in Europe... don't know if it will be the same in the US. but I'll have the US version, the European and the Japanese so I'll hope they'll be a little different from each other.

oh and for informations, in a store someone told me that the japanese version will be released October 10th, so I preordered it. They told me I'll have it about 5 days later...  :)

Thanks so much for posting! You are so lucky to get it early! I can't wait!!!

So, does anyone know if you preorder something, does it come on the release date to your door or do you have to wait for it to be shipped after that date? If I have to wait much longer I am going to go crazy!

I just got home from buying the album. At first I was afraid they weren't going to sell it here in Belgium... There were two copies in the store, and I put the other one in front of the shelve, so people would see it and hopefully buy it!

Oh and all the lyrics are in the booklet! Very happy about that as well!

Hey, at least Boston is close to NYC and other venues in the NE (which we all know she is going to play). I'm all the way in FL and the closest I get is Alexandria, VA which is over 11 hours away!!!

ILoveHanson, did it say if she will be coming anywhere to Florida or Georgia? ::Crossing fingers::

Haha, there's a saying about people from the southern new england area, people around here hate having to drive anywhere for more than 5 minutes. lol

Providence is actually closer to me since I live closer to the border with Rhode Island, but I'll make the trip up to Boston if I must, which I have done before to see her. lol

Trust me, it's very different from places like California where people make 2 hour commutes to go to LA, that's unheard of around here. lol

Trust me, I know, I lived in Albany for a year. And I am from Wisconsin where many people have never even left their county! But that doesn't mean I can't be jealous when she is coming to NYC - which is much closer to you than Alexandria is to me.

And I know I shouldn't be complaining because yes, she is coming to the US and I live in the US. Still, I can't afford a plane ticket or the gas to go all the way to Alexandria. Do it really doesn't matter if I live in FL or in the UK now does it? - Either way, I can't afford the trip. I'm a graduate student with no real income.

on iTunes if you download the album like I did, the order of the songs are different.

Got mine at Virgin NYC.  There's a bunch right as you walk in the door!
No musicians in the credits.  Bill Bottrell's name is spelled wrong.  
Industry heavyweights Doug Morris and Sylvia Rhone listed in the credits,
which seems like good news.

And the best part.....a shout out to us.

Why is the jewel case featured on the first post on this thread so much nicer than the copies I'm seeing in stores. lol Are you European jewel cases different or something?

So, I was at Best Buy and I saw a bunch of people walking out of the store with copies, there weren't many left when I grabbed one. So that's a good sign I guess,

Ugh at The One being a single though.

I meant to write "the European" but I wrote "you European" instead. Oops. I'm really envious of Japanese CD cases, they're really nice and heavy. Utada Hikaru's Ultra Blue CD has the heaviest nicest packaging I've ever seen on a CD.

i totally agree.  i wasn't too happy with many of the songs that i already knew, and i still am not a huge fan of "nolita fairytale."

but "home" and "more than this"?  i LOVE them.  it's just so freaking surreal, to have a NEW vanessa album.  so many new songs to take in at once!  it's...it's...it's overwhelming haha.  as i've mentioned before, i've been a fan since be not nobody, on the VCMB.  

and this is simply insane.  i need to vanessa rant!  none of my friends get it!  and so i return to the boards :-)

I bought one copy at Best Buy today.

My newbury comics copy came in the mail, but I opened it after I got back from my evening class.

Her signature looks like a "W" but I was still in awe.

I think its great, some songs I need to give a few listens but overall the first time I listened to it, I cried. It was really beautiful.

I just ordered it over the weekend, so I don't expect to receive it anytime soon. Though it did say "Order completed" or something on the update thing, but I think that meant it's left the factory or whatever.

Excited! Never have I bought three copies of an album that didn't belong to the Beatles. Hope she does really well with this album; she totally deserves it.

Then, i just stayed in the car and listening to every songs for hours. it's so comforting....

I get all my new CDs from Best Buy.  That's extremely queer that they didn't have it on the shelf, but in the back.  But yeah, most CDs are really cheap on release day at Best Buy, so that's when and where I buy them if it's something I really want.

I didn't get to listen to it until just now, though, because the CD drive in my laptop didn't want to play or rip the CD, but it would give me disc and track information.  I was ready to throw the computer out on the highway!! :x

Better late than never. I got mine today. It's clearly my second favorite album of the year. The first being Miranda Lambert's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" But H&T is an amazing album. It will be getting a lot of play in my CD player. I have never been disappointed with any of Vanessa's albums and clearly this album is no exception.

I Finally got the album! Spring Street and My Best are amazing. More than This and Fools like Me were a blur, though, as I was just getting over SS and MB.

Imagine if the bonus track came out to be, the promo version of "Heroes and Thieves" (the song). I wouldn't like that, I hope to God it's not that!

That made me think: the bonus could be a remix or a different mix of a song already on the album...let's hope not....

Ok so it seems like Universal Music Japan isn't releasing a JP only version of the album.
All the stores only have the US version and it doesn't say import or anything: I guess Universal is just distributing the US one in Japan.
No bonus track then...  :(

my opinions:

(this is the exact same thing i wrote at the 3eb forums, but i wanted to share my opinions here too.)

*they ruined the end of hands on me with the freakin choir sounding background vocals
*spring street still sucks, just like nat and i said it did 2 years ago or whatever.
*there's no way best behavior and all is well should have been cut because of spring street.
*more than this is one of the best songs she's ever written (as nat said)
*i listen to fools like me, home, and more than this, obsessively
*come undone is a beautiful song. lee(from the upwelling)'s vocals help, of course.
*i don't like the one as much as i used to, but after getting used to the contrast between stevie's and vanessa's vocals, that part has grown on me
*this time is just too similar to the one. except it's not as good.
*heroes and thieves was done exactly how it should have been, but i think there should have been backing vocals.
*the album should have been longer.. it's a very short album, and they could have left spring street (if they really wanted), and added all is well and best behavior

anyway, the album is amazing, i've been listening to it non-stop for the past couple weeks, or however long i've had it. bought it at 12 when i got off work the day it came out.

Who needs to buy the album when you can get one for free in IsoHunt.com!

Ok, stop with all the flames. I live in the PH so it takes let's say a week for it to get shipped and I know lots of VC fans so when I went to the local music store, 80 people have reserved Heroes and Thieves.

so, Finally got the album today. I had to drive to TX but it was worth it. I ended up choosing to postpone lunch or any other shopping and chores I had and found myself driving in circles in the parking center parking lot listening to the cd before finally stopping and sitting in my jeep listening to the cd entirely. I love it. It's so much more broad and the songs have a lot of depth musically. :-)

lol. It's quite funny that you Canadians haven't received the package yet, although technically speaking Canada is a lot closer to the US than the UK is.

Finally got my cd:s! It's simply amazing. I love it!. But Vanessa rarely disappoints me:P Totally worth the waiting! Im a little bummed Best Behavior didn't make the cut. I think it would have fitted well on this record. I hope we get to here a studioversion of it anyway!

Great work Vanessa. My regards!

I love this album just like the other 2. I also want to say how proud I am of Vanessa for not changing like they wanted her to. sure she prob could have the #1 cd. if she became like britney or something. but I am proud that she stood up for what she believes in. I would rather her debut at #42 doing the kind of muisc and having the kind of image she wants to have, rather than changing herself just to get #1.
