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

[Brian-DC]

I downloaded TIAGD before it came out and I bought it when it was released. 

I'd do the same with this one. 

I hope it doesn't leak though.  The CD and vinyl has a lot of beautiful artwork (not to mention reading the lyrics) and it's so much better hearing it with the whole package.

Despite the facebook V forum thing, you don"t need to be a member to access the front page and get to the order of the new album links

Just made my purchase that very way, in fact.  That was my first ever use of Facebook for anything at all, as I am not a member.

As for listening to leaked audio... I'm still trying to avoid even March in September until the full album is available.

Apart from enjoying March Into September on Youtube I'm not even going to look for anything else until the album lands on my mat

Ditto, just ordered mine that way. Wanted to get in there before the limited edition signed copies dry up. Who knows, I might even start to take to this facebook malarkey

Ha ha Shush... I'm starting to feel like the rest of us are the Evil Dead... 'JOIN US...'   

Interesting points about doing too much previewing of a new album... I'm a big fan of Fish (ex of Marillion) and he's posted so muvh stuff online (rehersal footage, demos of new tracks etc) of his new album that it's rather taken the shine off.  It was great to hear much of his new stuff (excellent, BTW) when I saw him live a few months ago, but now I feel I've heard the new album before I've HEARD it, if you catch my drift.  I almost feel a bit bad about hearing the three NMA tracks on Youtube... MIS was fantastic at the Christmas gig in Nottingham but I sort of wish I'd left H and 7T until I could hear them in their full, recorded glory.  Dammit, I'm such a weak person... 

Nevermind, 11 unheard tracks awaiting my eager ears... cannot bloody wait.

Well, I'm old enough to have learnt not to cut your nose off to spite your boatrace. I was reluctant to go on line at first, now I am rarely off it !!

Take tonight, I have watched the new vid five times, the missus has told me to stick the ear plugs in or else 

DEAD BY DAWN,, DEAD BY DAWN

Shop smart... shop S-MART!

OK, I think we've taken the Evil Dead references far enough...

This is my BOOM stick,,, OK your right, enough

As promised, I just preordered the new album - of course the limited edition.
That does not change the fact that I definately would download a leak instantly

Happy to see btw, that first reviews are so positive. Maybe this will be a late commerical success again.

Mine is now ordered. I just hope they don't ruin the artwork with those unsightly signatures... 

With regard to the forum versus facebook thing I think that both sides should meet in a car park somewhere and sort this out once and for all!

With all these fans in a car park,it'd be a waste of resourses not to have an impromptu gig by a certain band

We,ll need the UKs biggest car park for that.  Or,as they call it down South, the M25

I just pre ordered my copy...I am going to try and resist the temptation to listen to it online.

In common with many other posters on this thread - of course I will. I have already been devouring live stuff on youtube since it first appeared. But obviously I've already pre-ordered from the shop.

I guess the question is (if you wanna put on a business head) does having that stuff out there for free translate into additional hard cash sales? I dunno. And I guess that that is really the critical thing for the whole modern version of the bootleg, does the "any publicity is good publicity" idea still hold true? Don't ask me cos' I'm a gardener!!!!!

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.
