Yeah it'll be hard for me to decide between Rabbits and Liberman, as well. I loved almost all of the songs on ROTR, but I was disappointed with the minimalistic production of many of them (keeping in mind this was the follow up to Heroes & Thieves, back when her production was still very "pop" which is more my style). So that kind of hurt my view of ROTR, though again I loved the songs. Liberman has a better production, I believe, though there are more individual songs I'm kind of lukewarm about. But I've only listened to some of them once, so when the album comes out I'll really give it all a full listen and do a track-by-track review as well

"House of Seven Swords" has been in my head literally since I listened to it yesterday haha. the way she sings "that's the way it is, looove" is very pretty and kind of chilling. It's hard to explain. It's definitely my favorite of the songs we hadn't already heard.

Yeah I'm really glad we have the living room session of NWSUTB. It's probably my favorite thing on the album so far. So so good. The studio version is growing on my now, though. The outro kinda sounds to me like Animal Collective's "Winter Love" or something.

woohoo! got the download links!!!

Me too! NWSUTB is just  

I like the "far away" part! not excited about the chorus but tis okay. I can't wait to play this album on vinyl, it will be epic

It would be fun to hear the fans in the audience sing the "away" part when Vanessa sings NWSUTB in her concerts. Kinda like when they would do the clapping for carousel.  

I just listened to it for the first time. The "far away" part sounded like what I figured it would based on the posts here, haha.

I don't really like the studio version, to be honest. The living room session is just soooo simple and pretty. I got too used to it haha. The instrumental is really cool towards the end though. I like the loud strums.

I loved ROTR but personally don't think any of the songs would have been that successful as singles. Of course, it depends on how we define success! But in terms of radio play, the production of the songs just didn't fit with the popular music at the time. In 2011 people were more interested in upbeat dance-pop like Katy Perry's "Firework," P!nk's "Raise Your Glass," and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." If the album had been released a few years later, "Bride" or "Dear California" might have found a home on the radio next to Lorde's "Team," Christina Aguilera's "Say Something," and similar toned-down songs.

I'll be really interested to see how "Operator" does if that's the official single and gets sent to radio and a good MV. I don't follow American music that much anymore so I can't even guess. Hopefully she'll get on some late-night shows like she did during ROTR.

Wow! I was not expecting that. I love these surprises!

I'm so glad that's the single though. It's quite good!

I'm jealous of everyone  I won't preorder the album since I've had bad experiences with preorders before, so I'll just buy it on iTunes the day it comes out.

On another note, do you all think there will be a music book for this album? I hope so!

I'll be going!

Awesome! I remember meeting you in the autograph line after her show at the 9:30 club with Matt Nathanson, haha. Four years ago, almost to the day!

That's right! That was so fun! I wish this show was at the 9:30 too. I've never ben to the Howard Theatre, have you?

No, I haven't - I didn't even know it existed until this concert haha. At least it's really close to the metro!

Because of work I probably won't be able to get there until 6:30-7pm. Bummer. I was hoping to be really close to the front, but I'll probably end up somewhere in the middle.

I agree with Willows having that Harmonium touch, which is easily her best album imo. I was very much meh about the live performances of Willows and didn't want it on the album but it translated so much better in the studio. It's exactly how I wanted it to sound. It grabs you. Weird since it isn't so different from the live version but it does capture your attention and you get all the feels.

I totally agree with this! I'm so happy it's on iTunes already so I can buy it. I hate downloading her songs illegally, even though I know I'm gonna purchase them when I can. It's nice to support her
