I'm obviously very excited about this. Heard the details on Tuesday, have been hearing about the album for months. I'm either traveling to their New York or Boston show with my best friend, we haven't decided. We only have today to figure that out though. I cannot freaking wait!! :D :D :D

*edit to add that I love I Got Mine and Oceans & Streams, but Remember When is my favorite so far. Honestly I don't really care for Strange Time, it's weird. Anyways, I'm very much looking forward to hearing the other songs as well as the studio versions of the songs I've mentioned. Also, I was surprised to hear that Remember When is a long song--it was the shortest at their 12/22/2007 show.

I suppose you're European, so I can't but agree with you.. The Keys has been in Sweden a fair amount of times, but it's been a while since the last time. Unfortunatly I have missed them every time..

More details for those interested:

"Fans of the Keys' hard-hitting blues-influenced rock'n'roll will feel most at home on the 141-second stomper "Remember When (Side B)," which features a ripping Dan Auerbach guitar solo.

But nearly every other track is enhanced by production and instrumental elements the group has never previously employed, including the banjo- and organ-flecked opener "All You Ever Wanted," the rave up "Strange Times," which features piano and ghostly backing vocals, and the bare-bones "Same Old Thing," which sports bongo drums and flute.

Elsewhere, the Keys hone in on the slower side of the blues, particularly on the off-kilter "Psychotic Girl" and the slide guitar- and organ-laden closer "Things Ain't Like They Used To Be," a duet with Auerbach and his protege, Jessica Lea Mayfield."

Honestly, it's not too surprising...I mean, look at the response here. How sad for those missing out. I've heard that the 'Keys expect big things in terms of increased popularity with this album, which is interesting considering how much they've changed this time around. I guess we'll just have to see.
