The leak for Backspacer (that I know of) was 9-11-09.

I remember just because of the date. It was a Friday.

positive, but not overly so. Overall people liked it, but the initial response to S/T was more positive, especially in terms of its intensity.

The fact that The Fixer was not especially popular out the gate probably had something to do with this. The End, Got Some, and Unthought Known were the initial favorites.
