ill with want
I'm still waiting for my vinyl edition and my download code. If I had known it would be this late, I would have just downloaded it from iTUNES and not bothered to pre-order. Now, I can't even listen to it on NPR. Not mad, just disappointed, I know these things happen. Just wish I could get my download code before I get the record in the mail.

I bought it yesterday as well as my friend, and I Love it. I will be seeing you in Dallas if all goes well, and I cannot wait to sing these songs with yall. Thank you!
Still Waiting :(
Haven't received my album as of yet. Kind of dissapointed, but I've heard the entire album on the npr link, I am so geeked about this collection of songs! Only these boys could put together a collection of songs of this quality.

Cool Box Set
Ordered the deluxe box set what feels like a year ago!! Had it shipped to my work so I could surprise my wife when I brought it home to her! what a great box set, definitely worth the purchase! Wow, what a new chapter for the Avett Brothers...Can't wait to see yall live again...thanks for all the great tunes!!
Skyroo
Didn't get my album...Skyroo said I would have the links for the download version by noon yesterday...still waiting.
Thank You...
Thank You Guys, so much for all the work. The wait was well worth it, it has made my day to have this album, it will not leave the record player for a long time. It has been a force, and sense of security your music has been. I and Love and You, is simply beautiful. Every song has a strong message, Thank You, Thank You. You guys deserve everything, keep it coming, your awesome.
Well Worth The Wait
I have been waiting for months now and got y copy in the mail last night. I cannot stop listening to this new album! Deep, yet invitingly simple at times. Fantastic job.
positive addict
Poets in Dylan's class and musicians evolving their own unique sound...I burned up the streaming listening to it on NPR....alas Wyoming is still waiting on delivery...loved you in Steamboat
Thanks!
Left work at lunch to track down the album. Was harder to find than I expected, and I'm in Charlotte. No luck at Best Buy or Target. Landed a copy at Borders though. From now on, I'll go the preorder route.
Really enjoying the depth of lyrics on this album.
Out of Nowhere...
Listening to Sirius Satellite Radio today, The Loft, The Avett Brothers came on...I listened to the song Head Full of Doubt...and wrote the name down thinking "I need to hear more of this group." I went to Starbucks for coffee and there was the CD...I bought it on the spot. Before 7:30 a.m. today, I had never heard of these guys...what a strange day....
Fan-tastic!!
I absolutely love it!! Its so different from their other stuff, but that's what makes it so great! I just love that the avett brothers have such variety in their music!
Rain on the parade....
Sorry. Not feeling it. I am relativly new to TAB. Maybe 2 years? Heard a couple of cuts off of Emotionalism and was immediatly drawn in. I then proceded to seek out everything they did. Saw them a couple of times live. I couldn't tell enough people about them. Underground. Outside the box. Raw. Truly talented.
I got signed up for the web site and was happy to hear about the new album. Heard the first couple of teaser cuts and was aprehensive from the first listen. Today I picked up the album and gave it a listen. The first thing that struck me was the crappy voice quality. Sounds like the sponge thing they stick over the mics for recording was a bit on the thick side. It neuters the bands best instruments....their voices.
I was disappointed to hear such a 'polished' vibe throughout the album. Takes the soul right out of their signature sound. I wondered if I was listening to a sound track for a cheesy Disney Channel soundtrack.
I am glad they put Laundry Room on the album. It makes for a perfect contrast of before and after a major record label gets a hold of a hot band.
Cant say I am surpised. Thats the naure of POP now a days. Find out whats at the cutting edge of BIG, blow it up, make money and watch as it smolders into ashes.
The website update hype, the Starbucks marketing, the mainstream targeting.....
I hope I am wrong, but I dont think there is a hole TAB fits into....but thats not keeping them from trying.
When the dust settles and you guys fall back to earth and get back to singing and playing from your souls instead of someone elses marketing experiment, I hope all of the old fans are still aroud. In the mean time, I will pop in something from the earlier days in the CD player.
Listen and repeat!!!
I have listened to this album all day long, at work, during my jog, this record is just awesome. The lyrics are well written as always and get better every time I listen. Tin Man is a great song. Thank you all so much.
She'll be drinking someone elses rye, when I'm six feet below.
I and love and this album!!
Congrats on the new album and thanks for such incredible melodies. I have been listening non-stop since I downloaded this morning. I have been anticipating to hear the studio versions of the unreleased songs you've been playing in concert. Now waiting on my box set, crossing my fingers on the signed poster!!

Much Love!
Much Love!
Bum and Out and Me
I've been waiting for today since I got that awful email back in June or July saying the album was delayed and the mail man doesn't come through!!! I bet he kept the box set for himself. Thanks to the skyroo folks for getting me an mp3 code though, it made the day more barable. GREAT ALBUM!!! Can't wait to see some of these songs live, please come back to Arizona ASAP!

Already a hit
I've been listening to the album non-stop all day. It's absolutely fantastic. So proud of you guys!
But I am definitely not the only one that loves it... My local public radio station (91.9 WFPK) has I and Love and You as its featured album of the week, and more than one DJ has exclaimed that it's the best album all year. The feedback has already been amazing and it's just been one day!
You guys have truly gone above and beyond!
A story to tell.
Thank you, a million times over. I would not have the Avett's if it were not for a used to be lover. I can say the only good thing I came back with was The Avett Brothers- My life has been grander for it. I am so grateful for this sound and the stories. I have been privledged to see this band play gloriously 5 times in the last 3 years. Thank you for Seattle this summer.
My Mamma loves you and the Oregon following keeps getting bigger. Avett Brothers thank God- This Album Rocks and so does Rick Ruben, Forever a fan and one for the last 5 years.- Love An Oregon Senorita.
WE & LOVE & YOU!
Thank you so much for all your hardwork and love you put into this cd for us! You boys are the best! Keep up the work. I love you!
help!
i cant stop listening to this album!!!!!!!!! i love love love it, but i am listening the day away!! another great job!
so good.
I honestly was expecting to be disappointed in the "new" sound. Missing the banjo. But I am 100% in love with this CD. Great job! The Avett magic could master any genre of music. Live or studio- the best!!!
Wow, you got some air play on 95.7 the Ride!!
Congrats! Can't believe they played the title track I and Love and YOU on Charlotte's 95.7 the ride. The Avetts are not in their usual line up.
Like Christmas Morning!
Congrats Guys! I am so happy this album is finally out! We've been... patient... ?

NEW VIDEO
I WAS ON WATCH LAST NIGHT AT 12 AM DOWN HERE ARE COAST GUARD STATION NEW ORLEANS AND BOUGHT THE CD ON ITUNES ON MY PHONE AS SOON AS 12:00 HIT. ITS BADASS. TO MAKE MY WATCH EVEN BETTER I WAS WATCHING TV AND FLIPPED TO VH1 AND GOT TO SEE THE AVETT BRO'S NEW VIDEO ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. IT IS SO REWARDING TO HAVE WATCHED THE AVETT BROS GO FROM PLAYING IN SMALL VENUES LIKE LINCOLN THEATRE TO TOURING WITH DMB AND THEN FINALLY ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. ITS TOO DAMN COOL.
Bummed and Waiting
I way excited about getting to hear the new album, and hopefully that will be today. Skyroo sent me an email last night saying the had a delay in shipping and my order didn't get sent out until yesterday. So I won't be listening to the LP today.
And they haven't sent out the link to me to download the mp3 version. I emailed them once and they said I should receive it by noon, if not email them again. I just emailed them a little bit ago and haven't heard anything back from them yet.
Am I the only one having trouble with Skyroo or have they dropped the ball on this one. I don't think I'll be preordering anything through them again though
Either way, I'm ready to listen to the new tunes ASAP.
Beautiful!
All four of you are the most amazing group of musicians to me. Your lyrics and melodies have touched my life, my heart, my spirit and everyone else's around me. I wake up everyday with one , if not more, of your songs running through my head. Congrats on the new album! It is a wonderful masterpiece of growth. Thank you for playing Augusta, GA. That was my first Avett show and twas amazing. Can't wait for more. You all were terrific on Letterman last night. I loved your red shirt Scott. I'm going to Lake Junaluska, NC this weekend just to see the place you sung about. Should be epic. Here's to you guys for the release and continued success that will come. Thank you for all you have done for us...your fans!

While you wait for your cd/download/album
ginrikki and upinboston, while you are waiting to resolve your issues with the download you can hear the entire recording. Go to the top of this message and check out the listening parties on AOL Spinner and MSN Music. I have been listening here at work all morning. Hope my box set is waiting for me at home tonight.

Free is not your right to choose, it's answering what's asked of you. Give the love you find until it's gone.
And in the end, the love you give, is equal to the love you make.
Hurry up, work day!!!
Cannot wait for 5:30 to roll around! Going after work to pick up my copy of I and Love and You. Then vacation tomorrow, and I plan on it being the soundtrack for the vacation! So excited!
Thank you for sharing your talent!!!
...And it spread.
Congrats guys!! So great to see all your hard work paying off! I can't listen to January Wedding without crying. That must be a funny sight to everyone seeing a 220 lb. truck driver crying while he's headed down the road. Enjoy your day guys, you more than deserve it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

OMG, Yes...
I woke up late today.
I remembered the new Avett Brothers cd comes out today.
I get on my computer and excitedly downloaded my copy and have it playing in my head on my iPod now.
I get up to go check the mail at the EXACT same time the Mail Lady DELIVERS MY DELUXE BOX SET!!!
It's like Christmas and Thanksgiving and every other holiday that is worth it all happening at once in my apartment!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Avett Brothers. You guys always say that you can never thank us enough. I think the same can be said by us fans for you fellas.

Vinyl download code not working
I 2nd ginrikki's comment above.
last night i logged into the site and downloaded what I thought was a zip file containing the full album. instead, it was just the single track 'I and love and you'.
now the entire album is posted for download, but it won't let me download because I already downloaded ONE track and therefore its locking me out. VERY ANNOYING!
I've written several emails to the email contact (support@myplaydigital.com) but have not heard back.
Who can help resolve this issue? Avett Brother rep? Vinyl manufacturer? record label?
really a big bummer on such a great day.
good work on the album...
J
TAB delivers!
geez this album is great. and the deluxe box is everything i hoped it would be!!
Wish I could hear
Bought the Vinyl (but record player is in the shop) and the download code doesn't work and there is no response from the website after 3 emails. Sheesh wish I could here it, feel ripped off
Congrats.
Enjoy your day fellas. Thanks for all the hard work and beautiful music!
Still Waiting
Hey Fellow Avett Fanatics,
I ordered the vinyl and the download package. Haven't gotten the record yet, does anyone know if I have to wait for the physical record before I can download it?
Thanks,

I agree...Ten thousand words is the best! Well...THANK YOU
at least at this moment...but the more I listen to Laundry room and after watching the " NPR tiny desk concert" I love how that song progresses....ART!
Ten Thousand Words!!
I love this song....they are all amazing, but this is my favorite right now. I love it! Thank you!!
THANK YOU!
The new album is exquisite. Masterfully written and perfectly executed from start to finish.
