i thought i heard some thing... a leak perhaps
went into the bathroom and the tap was dripping
some idiot did not turn it the whole way off

i hope this cryptic bollocks doesnt mean this thing is out there.

really i think that would be a shame

The post on the first page here says "got some if you need it " ...sounds like it's out there already to me.

Thats really sad, and one of the reason I have avoided downloading and fucking itunes like the plague. I love getting my hands on the official item and the liner notes etc. Downloading loses half the experience for me.

I dunno, the spontaneity of a leak is pretty exciting though, you never know when it's gonna happen. I was let down plenty of times in the past when I waited, bought the record on the day, and was then left with the 'what the fuck is this?' feeling. Listening to the amazon clips has only made me more excited!

fair do's i was sent a cd of riot act before it arrived in stores, and swore blind i would never do it again,

I was so underwhelmed by it despite the major hype that surrounded it. Obviosuly waiting for the record wouldnt have helped that at all, but i think the CDR added to my overall disappointment, and certainly ruined the excitement of having the original when it came out.

its since grown on me a great deal, and I now own about 10 copies of it, but it sure did put me off for life

I downloaded Riot Act when it leaked, burned it onto a CD and listened to it and loved it! When I bought the album I played the hell out of it again. I still like the album a great deal. That taught me that I should always download the leak :roll:

Soooo did it really leak? I'm dying to hear it.


PM?

It comes from the internet gods.

Trying to remember what track six from the Oasis album "Dig Out Your Soul" was called???

are you saying the poster here doesnt have a point?

please no. this argument took place yesterday at length. stealing music is wrong, we all know that, in fact id be out of a job if people illegally downloaded all their music (or id have a lot more money if they didn't) But pj fans on this board do not treat a leaked version as their copy of Backspacer. It is simply a means to get to the release day and then purchase the actual album. Listen, I wrote my graduate thesis on file sharings negative impact on the music industry, but if it leaked today I'd be all over it!!

I'm saying I've shelved out close to $40 for this album already. When the Target version is available, I will be buying that one as well. So, as far as "stealing" from the band or "going against their wishes", I think your energy is better spent aiming that at people who won't be buying the album at all and will download it for free. Good luck finding any of those people here.

Didn't Solar say he/she was done with this subject yesterday? :?

Actually, at this point I'm not sure I would download a possible leak. We're only about 2 weeks away and that time will fly by! I might as well wait for the whole package. Plus, I've already heard almost half the album in one form or other so that should tide me over.

I'm glad it hasn't leaked yet. And, if it does, at this point I can definitely hold out. I listened to the amazon samplers a few times and that was enough. A few more weeks is no big deal. I've just dived into bootlegs in the meantime. How great was their sound in 2000?

On a related note, I'm really surprised at the lack of publicity for the new album. Only a few interviews so far, not much press. Have they been advertising on any websites? Seems really strange that they'd be putting out a poppier album and not doing much to publicize it. I barely hear The Fixer on NYC radio. I think 101.9 WRXP is the only station that plays it around here and its not getting much airplay.
