Doug Collette has written a pretty good review of Medeski, Martin & Wood's End of the World Party (Just in Case).

Instant gratification trumped tangibility when I decided to purchase the album from the iTunes Music Store after looking (unsuccessfully) for it in vain at no less than three local merchants. On the one hand, I would indeed like to own the higher-fidelity, un-DRM'ed CD with packaging and artwork.

On the other, it cost less than the $18.00 I would have paid for the privilege of buying it in most record stores, and I got my sweaty little hands on it right away. I think I've already listened to it 5 or 6 times in the last two days.
