Yeah someone should be creating a thread soon. But so far Talib Kweli's Gutter Rainbows in the only 2011 album I have heard. And its dope.

I ordered the physical copy of that since it's only digital in the U.S. I'm trying to wait until it gets here to listen to it, but you know how long it takes for imports to get here. How would you rate it?

Where did you order it from? I just ordered mine from UGHH.

Just cancelled mine. I ordered it from galleryofsound.com, but they wanted $30.08 shipped.

Ordering from UGHH right now... lol

LOL, make sure you use UGHH's 10% special they got right now.

I just listened to Palookas feat. Sean Price (Marco Polo on the beat)...dopeness. I can't wait.

10%...duly noted. And thanks for the heads up. lol

Why didn't you buy the album at buy.com? Cheaper?

For some reason Buy.com is blocked from my office so i just ordered from UGHH. With the discount it wasn't much of a price difference.

$4 and some change difference after the 10% off...

I have only listened to it twice. But its easily a 4.25 or more album. I will be ordering a physical copy soon.

I wish Amazon had it... I have a $20 card that I need to use lol

They do. It might cost more than $20 though. And that might be temporary since other sites have it for less than that.
