Looking forward to it.

*only because if I love it, everyone here disagrees with me anyways so it'll probably make you think it's shit if I like it.

If you don't post about it, you may as well not've told us you're listening to it.

Nah I just don't wanna be associated with anything illegal or leaks of anything. I know what damage that does and I'm against it. It's an independent band and I'm all for supporting it.
If its great we'll debate it forever. If its shit, it's shit.

It won't be shit.

If you don't want to be associated with any leaks, don't listen to it and don't tell us you're listening to it. It's too late not to be associated if you're going to broadcast it. And these guys aren't a small-time indie band, they're more than secure financially.

and you're not leaking anything by telling us what you heard... since you wanted us to know you'd heard it.

It's all gone to shit several times, but this might be its darkest plateau so far.
