Leak or not, I'm waiting until the official release. After having downloaded every other PJ album before buying it, I'm going to be a good boy this time around.
Thanks EPOTTSIII!

Don't you want that release date feeling of hearing songs for the first time? Well, at the rate we're all going, by the time 9/20 comes, all the songs would have been heard by then.
I don't want another "12/6/94," meaning I don't want to get the album already hearing the whole thing weeks in advance. I heard all of Vitalogy via KROQ about two weeks before it came out. Me being me, I taped it from the radio and played it again and again starting from 11/18/94. When Vitalogy officially came out I bought the CD and cassette version (no cd player in my car) and had no real surprise. From No Code on, I made sure I got to hear most of any new Pearl Jam album from start to finish, except for the obvious singles (ie Who You Are, Given To Fly, NAIS, I Am Mine, WWS, The Fixer). For this album (in 2009) Pearl Jam has chosen a different approach to giving fans a sample. Kinda like when Metallica taped their recording sessions of Death Magnetic and let fans download them.
Personally, I don't want a leak. The internet has taken away all the excitement of an album release.
No more build up and anticipation of the album release and then rushing out to the store on the release date, madly clutching the CD in your hand wondering what it's going to sound like as you rush back home again.
Trying to keep your hand steady with excitement as you carefully place it in the CD player, wondering what the first track is going to be like. Bouncing round the room as the first riffs kick in and that chill down your spine as the first lyrics are sung.
It's all gone....so I'm keeping a bit of the old magic alive by not listening to anything until the actual release date.

Yeah, I'm a bit weird that way....
Mmmmmm, I have all that when I hear my first leaked version
But I do know what you mean: I'm from the vinyl generation...
I used to be very anti-leak. Tried not to listen to leaked versions (always failed and felt guilty) until ST or so. A year before it leaked someone close to me died and exactly (almost on the hour) on the anniversary the album leaked. For me it has been since then: life is too short to wait. If it leaks I listen to it. But I do think though, that you're also obligated to buy the album. (It's an unwritten agreement.)
What I don't like are the snippets and the ringtones. If I'm going to hear something, than at least a whole song. I think those ringtones takes the fun away... Just my opinion tho.

I heard Avocado a few weeks before it came out officially and it was a poor quality - it just spoils the whole experience. Why ruin listening to your favourite band's new record just because you have no patience?!?!?!?
21st Sep can't come round soon enough but if there are any leaks of the album I won't be listening to them - there is nothing better than to go buy the album on release date and rush back to listen to it while flicking through the album booklet/artwork etc!!!!!!

Agree, and I wish I wasn't so damn impatient about new music, because I end up listening to the shitty quality ringtones, crappy myspace streams, and inaudible live clips before a leak or release date. I will def download a leak, but I ALWAYS pre-order/buy the album too. Patience is not one of my virtues!
Refresh my memory...how far before the release dates did Binaural and Riot Act leak?? I remember downloading the crappy quality version of S/T. I seem to recall having S/T several weeks before it released. Given that The Fixer didn't leak at ALL, I'm willing to bet that Backspacer may put up a good fight compared to their last two. I bet this one leak around the week of 7 Sep (roughly 2 weeks before its official release). It would be really cool if it leaked on Labor Day weekend so I have a nice long weekend to rock some new PJ.
I REALLY REALLY don't want a leak, should it happen.
The band want us to hear it on a certain date so i'll listen to it on a certain date. I can't wait to get the physical goods in my hand, put it in the stereo and press play, not knowing what to expect... nothing beats that old school feeling.
Fuck leaks.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Well...my preference of a leak aside, or lack thereof...two things have impressed me in recent years for this band.
1. Last year at the NYC shows, I was getting asked by scalpers to BUY the tickets from me. I hardly saw any for sale, the scalpers were the buyers. Loved it! I turned down $1500 for my 2 tickets. Imagine others turned down similar.
2. The lack of a leak! Almost unheard of this close to a release date. I'd love to see them make it all the way through without it happening. Anyway...in case anyone hasn't noticed, the band is doing a controlled leak. As long as you are patient, you can hear all the songs before the release in various forms...almost all of them official.
Anyway...I applaud the band for the above 2 measures. They are obviously doing something right.

i agree 100% i have been very good with PJ when it comes to leaks. all except ST. and i was so pissed when my 10c copy came a few days early. i was pissed that i had heard the record already. i only listended to it once b4 it came out, but still. so for this, no leaks !! have heard what the band wants us to hear and thats it.
Peace, Love.

binaural and riot act were available waaay before release.
avocado was about 6 weeks early if i remember.
i was hoping to hear it before chicago, but it doesn't matter i guess since they are only playing a few songs.

if the press are getting their copies and some radio stations are for a listening party...it could be soon
http://www.reverbnation.com/brianzilm
the press had to go to the band to listen to it...and i'd assume that at rep from pj at the listening party
that band wants us to hear it on a certain date, what is wrong with waiting till then ?
fuck the leaks.
if i find any leaks i will be reporting them to 10C to get taken down ASAP :roll: j/k
but really, i dont want to hear it till release date.

truer words have never been spoken.
However, I still want it. Kinda sums up humanity (or at least me) quite nicely, doesn't it.
