If the new album leaks onto The Net... will you listen?

[Master Ray]

Just back from holiday and ordered mine from the shop.  And yes, I'll download if easy enough to do.  I'm bringing two coke bottles to the Facebook/Forum throwdown, and will walk around saying 'Facebook ... Come out to play' over and over.

Can you count it, suckers?

my only concern over the facebook / forum rumble would be that the Dark Side (ie facebook users) may be a little better organised

[sozbot]

Already pre-ordered (of course!), but I can't deny that I'd be curious... Given that I've already purchased it and put money into the guys' pockets, I might be tempted to have a cheeky listen. But then again, as some others have said, nothing really compares to having your own, physical copy and giving it a good first-time listen.

I'm even a little hesitant to read the forum posts for fear of spoilers. I haven't watched March in September video yet. Actually, I watched it with sound off. It was amazing even that way!

Now I'm more excited for doc film than ever!

Willard, give yourself a little treat.  Watch MIS.  It's great.  After all, it's no different to hearing, say 'Here Comes The War' in advance of TLOHC?  Back in the days when you could walk into a record store and buy the new vinyl 12 inch from your favourite band?  In a gatefold sleeve and with a poster that had instructions on how you could build you own atomic bomb?

Damn, I miss those days...

[Willard]

Still... holding...  out!

Maybe a bit unnecessary but I'm doing it anyway.

Hey Willard - that really made me laugh - watched it with the sound off!! heheheh - That's like, I don't know,  like reading a book with your eyes closed...Good stuff mister cool x

Would I listen to a leak on the net? no no no no NO!

Even when the vinyl arrives I won't open it until the right night - I'll have to speak with my astrologer about that 

Only half joking there - I won't speak with my astrologer but I will wait for the right night...I'm looking forward to this one - the last record was incredible - how do you follow Today Is a Good day ? I'm expecting a big disappontment to be honest - and that is half the reason why I would leave it wrapped in the the hallway until the right night.

I have to say, seeing as review copies of BDAW are out there, I'm both surprised and happy that the album hasn't been leaked yet...

[Fatalist]

ain't been on the board much recently, having an NMA holiday pre Dog and Wolf, so has it actually leaked (save me reading through the many scores of threads that have appeared during my enforced absence?) Or are we all being good moshers til the 23rd when the pre-orders land?

It ain't leaked.  Yay, confidentiality!

Just a few days to go... I'm practically quivering in anticipation!

[Willard]

I'm now anxiously (unrealisticaly?) expecting album and shirt any day now. That said, if next Monday comes and the album hasn't, I'll look for digital copy to buy (from shop?). In USA won't be on usual sources for a week or so later, I see.

Oh dear!

[Master Ray]

I'm also surprised that it hasn't leaked.

From my experience of the last two albums, if you bought it directly from the shop it should plop through your letterbox on the Friday before the official release date.  If it doesn't, then thats fine... but if it ain't there on Monday 23rd... 

Joking aside, I'm sure, in this Internet day and age, SOMEONE could have found it and leaked it, but they didn't... reminds me of when a whole load of people in the US got their box-set of the last series of DOCTOR WHO in advance of the final episode and could have thrown out a load of spoilers or links but didn't, out of respect for something they love...

Anyway, whatever.  We're all less than a week away from a new NMA album.  Good times.

 

[Mike]

There were loads of spoilers from that Who box set, if you were unlucky enough to chance upon them.

That said, unless BDAW is a concept album, there's no plot to reveal. And I hope to almighty **** that it isn't.

[saille]

Yes and and enjoying  , can't wait for the crackle of the vinyl tho'

[Willard]

And there it is. Seems to have almost made it to the end, but not quite. I will not listen until I get a copy legally, though I am perfectly willing to buy digital if hard copy takes a while to arrive...
