The level of policing on this board is Orwellian to say the least. The rules of the board are so vague it seems they can be interpreted in the broadest of terms.
The other day a thread was locked for discussing Matt's songs on the last few albums. When Backspacer is released will there be actual discussion allowed of the music? There's bound to be negative opinions, but it seems that anything negative is automatically locked because it is disrespectful.
Another thing: Backspacer is released two days earlier in some parts of the world than in the US. Will those with legally obtained copies be allowed to discuss the album here then, or will those threads be locked immediately?

When we found the things we loved,
They were crushed and dying in the dirt.
We tried to pick up the pieces,
And get away without getting hurt,
But they caught us at the state line,
And burned our cars in one last fight,
And left us running burned and blind,
Chasing something in the night.

On this board, it's like poking a bee hive with a stick...
I smell no conspiracy here!
Oh life was good .. waiting for Friday night video's ... MTV was just starting ... pacman on Atari was being played ... good times
Discussing the bands music (past albums I mean) in a respectful way its completely ok, as Snoopy mentioned above me, anything can be discussed with respect talking about how much a band member or their music for that matter sucks is not the right way to do it....
Album is not released yet, the official band forum is not the place to discuss it, and I think the posting guidelines are very clear.
Im 100% sure discussing the album will be ok when its release on your neck of the woods.
You are sooooo intelligent.
Again, everyone, we're all adults here. It's not much longer to wait. Discussing stolen art is never ok. Spoilers are not ok. It doesn't change with the wind. See Posting Guidelines above. It's easy...hard...but easy.

P.S. And any positive or negative discussion of music, if done respectfully, is fine. How something is said is very important.
