Basically, what I'm saying is that if OWB leaks, you bet your ass I'm dl'ing it. And then buying at least one copy on release day if not more. It's just how these things work. And I encourage people to not get more emotionally involved than is necessary if it does leak. I'd consider it a reasonable notion to believe that people that would pirate the leak and not buy the album also would pirate it post-release and not buy the album.
Thanks for the leaked tracklisting guys, now I wanna hear snippets you bastards!  |
It definently had that vibe of, 'You're either with us, or
AGAINST US.' I remember talking to some radiohead fans who had a similar stance around the time that rough mix of
Hail to the Thief got leaked a couple months early.
The thing I remember about the leak of AHDO is Scott posting the track list for the CD and cueing up the conjecture about what the tracks could be like, even including some rather humorous discussion of tracking Mr. Warner down at his place of work and nabbing his copy of the promo.
Then it got leaked.
I think people did get a bit too emotional over the whole ordeal. So perhaps a
SPOILER thread for OWB will be necessary to appease some of those around here.
I will be downloading it. I know I'm not patient enough to wait. It's like seeing movies early or going to a test screening. It might not be the final product, but it's pretty damn close and it's just as interesting to see a work in progress for as it is to see the final piece. (Just my opinion though.)
