    And then Sirens. Wow. Epic song. 5 minutes long. Lots of piano. Soaring vocals. Really layered sound. Some effects on Mike's guitar. I loved it!!

    I really don't know how I feel about this one having lots of piano. I'd prefer it to just have guitar. But who knows? Maybe it sounds awesome.

    Hey, I like the fact that this band keeps on reinventing itself. Spoken word, strings, instrumentals and now a piano.Why not. I don't want to hear a similar song with a certain formula over and over and over and over again.

    Yes, must resist the urge to listen before getting the physical copy. I'm anticipating this one big time and I have to try not to wear out the single before the album is released, puts a damper on listening to the whole thing over and over.

    Nah albums have leaked early online since the late 90s (I think Yield is one of the first one's I recall). It's now part of my ritual. Hear the first single on the radio, grab the leaked version, then buy it on release day (or now its order it off the internet and have it arrive a week after release day if you want the free shipping.... haha).

    You can't really avoid listening to a new single, but I won't listen to clips in advance. I'll wait until I have the whole album then give it a listen.

    I wasn't plugged into the Matrix till '99 but the first PJ album that I can remember that leaked, and I mean '3+ month's leak' before it was released in stores was Riot Act. I couldn't believe it. Avocado what I could remember was leaked a few weeks before store date but not many months like Riot Act. A few songs though were released in day's apart. Backspacer was the toughest. Nothing was leaked on any torrent site. Even if many have heard the full length album many day's in advanced.

    It's impossible to avoid listening to their new single. And if a friend sends you a .zip folder on Facebook / Twitter etc.. if you wanted to hear more songs off the upcoming album. It's hard to not unzip that folder and play those tracks.
