Harmless, I hope many people have reminded you that you were in the No-Leak Club...
Im not sure about people outside the club feel about it, but those of us in the club are happy to support those who wanna avoid leaks and have no hard feelings toward those who want to listen to them.
I scoff in the face of this lovey-dovey brotherhood.
That's not what Hulk Hogan of the Several Chins would say. Look at that cheesy grin!

I'm getting a lightning bolt tattoo if I like the album enough. In reality it'll happen in a long while from now because I can't afford it, but yeah. I'm just needing to be *that much* more confident that it won't all go to shit, and then I'm adding to my sleeve.

So I'm making a decision to not listen to any of the LB songs - even MYM - until the album is released. Let's keep this shit fresh, yo.

Everyone is going to hate me if they've been reading my reviews and trust even a word of them.
