Pearl Jam should get some kind of award for this.

This day in age, are there really any albums that are 3 weeks away from hitting the streets, that haven't leaked? I wonder if it has something to do with the Target deal, perhaps there are less middle men then the standard major label release. Either way, I commend them, and leak or no leak, I will be listening to it as soon as the 10 Club mails it to me, and I can't wait.
words seem so out of place.

    Sorry. I apologize for being a joy kill.
    pj getting award for this?
    pj the band has nothing to do with it if it gets leaked or not.
    If anything the band would do anything to not to let it leak, any band would.

    But yes I think it’s nice it hasn’t leaked and can appreciate the phenomenon.

    I think the title of this thread is not meant to be taken literally.

    Black Crowes album just popped up early, but it came from physical copies of the album being sold. I think their last one went without leakin as well.

    I would think PJ could be out there any time, but maybe the exclusive deal does have something to do with it.

    I don't think the exclusive deal has to do with it, so much as the fact that they're label-less. I don't know what kind of deal they've got worked out with Universal, but if they're just using them for distribution, then I would assume they've got carte blanche in terms of their material, meaning the only people who have to hear the album before manufacturing and distributing would be BO'B, the band, and their immediate management. Maybe a few exceptions here or there, but I would imagine those fortunate few outside of that immediate circle were probably placed in rooms Pearl Jam chose or something like that before they could listen.

    I heard that the full album was released to the media months ago. If so I'm super impressed it hasn't been leaked yet and to be honest I'm really enjoying the built up excitement. I just don't know if I should go out and buy the cd first, or wake up super early and download the rockband tracks before the stores open!

    its stunning frankly.

    As I said before, this is one of the most anticipated albums of the year by a major band.

    How in the hell it hasnt leaked yet is beyond me

    I disagree. The media has had the album for awhile. Spin reviewed it, so its obviously in the hands of critics. Several other media organizations had it as well.

    Disappointed?!? Why can't people just wait until release day anymore? Back in the days before online leaks you had no choice but to head to the store on release day and I kinda miss the 'romance' of that. Leaks spoil the enoyment of a new album for me.

    I still prefer getting the cd or vinyl and hearing it for the first time as a physical product. I love it that some of the songs are being debuted live at a few gigs. It means that we hear the songs when the band wants us to and helps to build the anticipation for the actual release. Even if it does leak (and I hpe it doesn't) I won't be geting until the cd arrives

    I, too, am very surprised it hasn't leaked yet.

    Possibly those who reviewed it didn't get physical copies of the new CD, maybe they were invited to a "listening" controlled by PJ management staff?

    I'm so happy Backspacer hasn't leaked yet!

    I for one love the anticipation of an album release. I remember waiting outside the record store at midnight for the release of No Code and nearly bursting with excitement while driving home with it sitting beside me, still unlistened to! Such an unparalleled feeling.
