I purchased both of them at the same time and started with "Umbrella", which I'm still listening to a month later :) Your input makes me more eager to discover the 1st one, though. I went the pre-order way for "Now The Day Is Over" on Amazon and skimped on shipping, so now the projected arrival date is 11/17 at the latest. The advantages of pre-ordering are lost on me at this point, I could have just gone to a decent record store downtown on Tuesday instead and I'd have been listening to it for two days already :-P Oh well, lesson learned.
