As all of you know, The Vines new album, Vision Valleys, came out today in the U.S and here is where you will share news you heard about the album I'll Start it off

On I Tunes, the album is featured in the Alternative section of the store and it debuted at number 21 on the I Tunes alternative album charts and 97 on the I Tunes 100 Top Album Charts. Reviews on Itunes bassically said it was not as good as their first wo albums and it's to clean.

On Billboard, Vision Valley's was featured on their new albums section with this review:
While the Vines introduce their third disc with a hand-clap-dusted riff-rocker that imagines Brendan Benson fronting AC/DC, they hardly keep up that pace throughout, adding strings to the so-so title track and even recalling Pavement's great "Range Life" on the strummy "Take Me Back." That is good and bad. They clearly want—and probably need—to grow and take chances with tempos and melodies as they do here on songs like the pile-driving "Gross Out." But one wishes they would spend a little more time plowing through the album while kicking amps and knocking over mic stands rather than changing things up. Not surprisingly, the Vines are at their most fun when they turn a blind eye to musical evolution and getting songs on the radio.—Wes Orshoski

Spin also featured them on their new albums section and said this about the new album:
Soldiering on despite frontman Craig Nichols' debilitating Asperger's disease, the Vines release the follow-up to 2004's Winning Days. After almost self-destructing, the band releases the album that almost never saw the light of day, featuring tracks like "Futuretarded" and "Fuck Yeh."

At Rolling Stone, Vision Valleys acoustic Performance is the number 5 top video. You can access this video here

The Vines Come Back With 'Vision Valley'

The Vines, "Vision Valley" (Capitol/EMI)

After The Vines lead singer was charged with assault for kicking a photographer at one of his band's concerts in Sydney, ending a spat of oddball behavior fans had pegged to just wild ways — all signs pointed to the band to dry up and wither away.

But a year after the incident, countless mea culpas and attorneys claiming Craig Nicholls suffered from a form of autism, which was responsible for his behavior, The Vines have returned from rock bottom with "Vision Valley," an angsty punk album that often tilts close to pop.

The album starts with a wonderfully raucous punked-out assault on "Gross Out," sounding every bit like the garage band fans know and love. But lasting just over a minute, the song is over before the album turns, unfortunately, to lighter music.

Where does it go? To a sound more bubble gum than basement punk.

"Candy Daze," for example, is too sweet for comfort with beats that make you think of more of four mop-top boys from overseas than hellions who shook the charts just years ago.

That mellow mood continues with "Don't Listen to the Radio," an acoustic ballad that is forgettable and out of place.

In fact, the entire album, The Vines' third and a follow up to 2004's "Winning Days," follows an up and down pattern of aggressive, driving songs such as "Dope Train" — which is as wild of ride as it sounds — with let-down ballads like "Spaceship" to end the album.

Still, "Vision Valley" may be appropriately named. Nicholls' nearly tore the band to shambles with his shenanigans before he was diagnosed with Asperger's, a condition characterized by social and communication deficiencies.

The Vines may have a long way to go out of this valley — and they're going to need some serious creative vision to get there.

The Vines debuted on Amazons Music Charts at 239 and Reviews said things like "Groovy, The Best Of Bothe Worlds, and Better Then The New Strokes CD"

I will make sure to keep you updated and feel free to post your own news.

Yikes 239?!

Thanks, evan.

Oh god, in that last thing I think they messed up every single song title...what a dumbass ...just proves that their opinion doesn't mean squat, they don't even know what they're talking about. Ugh. It still bugs me

rough diamond: what do you mean 239???

I mean that 238 albums sold better then Vision Valleys yesterday. I was also shocked when I saw this, I expected to debut in at least the top 100

Ok, I know this news sucks but give me a break!

It's just singular. No Valley(s).

I'm sorry. Had to get that off my chest.

The news doesn't suck at all!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to post this cause I really didn't know a thing about it.

But that's good news that sales are going up

MORE NEWS

I can't find much more mainstream news on The Vines, but what I can tell you is that their album is contiueing to rise on I tunes rising from 61 to 45 on top 100 albums and 21 to 10 on top 100 alternative albums YAY!!!! I'm sorry, couldn't hold it in.

And don't you dare ever hold it in! I like your little updates .

thank you! I will continue to update daily! I was very very very very dissapointed though when I got the new Spin magazine in the mail and there was nothing in the review section about the Vines. They werent even in the quick cuts or also released section! Its shocking that a band that graced their cover a meare two years ago can't even make it into the review section!

the vines article is supposed to be in the next issue - tho i doubt it will get reviewed in there at all now. it didn't make it in time for the april deadline.

Yah, it won't be there because albums that were realeased on the same day such as The Flaming Lips At War With The Mystics are reviewed.

Spin is always way behind on everything. While the UK press had the Annandale incident covered the day after, I remember a paragraph about it showing up in Spin in something like the September or October issue. Something will show up eventually. I sense that it won't be overly complimentary though...

Thanks, Evan!!

Oh that's really good! I'm so glad it's going up, that's fantastic news

Some more news, The Vines song, Don't Listen To The Radio is one of the feature downloads in the new Rolling Stones Magazine issue. And The Vines have the 15 spot of the 100 top albums on I Tunes in Australia, and in the U.S they are FEATURED ON THE HOME SECTION, and the album is number 56 on the top 100 albums and 14 on the top 100 alternative albums. The Vines song, Don't Listen To The Radio, is still yet to debut on the top 100 alternative songs, it needs your support! I bought it to help it, now its your turn!

#56 on the top 100 albums in the US? That's better than what I expected . It's still not great, but I was thinking it'd do much worse in the states than the UK not the other way around. So yeah, I'm happy . Hopefully VV will be one of those albums that slowly gains a following and builds up *crosses fingers* .

billboard hasn't released their chart information yet - it's still being compiled - so i'm not sure where you got that info about it coming it at #56.

That's from iTunes. That's so cool though!! I think it does tell you on iTunes what the top albums are. Thanks, Evan!!!
