I ordered through the ticket/album bundle, but I did not receive my copy today. 
Guess I'll have to listen via spotify if I want to hear it today! Major bummer. I was looking forward to seeing the packaging in person today.
Same here. Ordered ticket/LP bundle. Hasn't arrived. So....went to local record shop and bought LaDiDaDi on compact disc! 
I own everything else on cd and vinyl, so might as well add to collection.
Anyway the record does not disappoint.
The songs are great.
The drums sound fantastic. Like you're right in the room with him.
Production is top notch.
Ian and Dave are on a whole other level of awesome.
10 out of 10.
Good grief I'm so frustrated! I'm a person to whom packaging is very important, and of course I still don't have my record or my CD. Turns out if you got the preorder, you were sent an email with a voucher because you had to confirm your shipping address (stupid...I got my address right on the preorder). Well I didn't get the email. SO they haven't even shipped mine yet, and it ships from the UK. I was going to bite the cost and just buy another CD, but no stores in my town of 800,000 even sell it.

"new music" by Battles
Excellent new audio interview with John. He discusses his musical upbringing and all the bands he's played with. Battles portion starts around 22:00.

In a rare segment he talks frankly about Ty's departure. It was not so amicable as the official announcement would have us believe (this confirms what Dave told me personally). I transcribed that part: "You were in this together... this was like this baby that we've all raised and now it's like this monster and we're finally making money and we're making a living and everything's great and this is gonna be the second record it's gonna be awesome and then one of the guys out of nowhere - while we're recording the record, mind you - literally leaves. Just, really, like you're not gonna give us...? It was just nothing, like "I don't wanna do this any more, bye." And he just left. ... It put is in an exremely compromising position where we absolutely freaked out because we're like "oh my god, now what are we gonna do?" But I think it was a blessing in disguise that we couldn't see right off the bat... in the fact that if we would've kept going the way we were going, it would've been a terrible, terrible record."
I bought the Japanese version of La Di Da Di so we could hear "FF Reprise", the Japanese bonus track. I put it on Youtube, listen now in case it gets deleted!

UPDATE: Warp Japan filed a copyright claim, the video has been blocked in all countries except Japan. What's the point of recording a song if it can only be listened to in one country?
Didn't know about this....thanks for uploading!
ps
bbc radio interview. starts at 42:30
Thanks y'all
That BBC radio interview is harsh! Ian and John basically say that Ty leaving was the best thing that ever happened to the band!
(interesting that they're all finally opening up about this)
I saved the audio from the interview and put it on YouTube, since the BBC program is expiring soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HDjFbWRIow
Did anybody catch the band on Pitchfork Radio tonight? Unfortunately I didn't read twitter today until it was too late to catch it! Apparently at least Ian was interviewed for an hour or something?
I listened. It was great. Ian was interviewed and they played a bunch of cool weird songs he picked out. The highlight of the show was he played a recording of the argument with the guy upstairs from their practice space. Its really funny and gets a bit heated at times. I hope Pitchfork puts up the interview to stream because you gotta hear it!
Been looking all morning for a way to get FFA Reprise, but the only thing I've found is on Amazon Japan = /
UPDATE: Found it on Soundlike
Great! I had uploaded it to Youtube, but it was blocked in all countries but Japan!

just saw this on fb...cool part that didn't make it on to La Di Da Di
I tweeted Ian about this and he responded:
"Was promising at that point, true. sort of evolved from there though"
I saw that, but I didn't know if he was being serious! They have been so quiet on social media.
He's teasing us again: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk...aken-by=iantwilliams
