i started to download it today, although i heard the quality of the leak wasn't too good?
I guess not, cause it's about 80 minutes of music in a 70 mb file

not that it matters cause i will probably buy it anyway

I remember when they played at the big day out the show was mostly impromtu and they basically jammed - which was pretty cool. Although i like th sound of the addition of jazz etc

here's some more info on the album:
