That's my guess. With the new bond w/ iTunes that we've seen as of late (bootlegs, singles), I'd think they'd start streaming it on Tuesday.
If they do it won't be the whole thing. Because you'd basically be leaking it yourself.
Loads of bands are streaming the entire album around a week before release.
I think if this leaks, that may happened. If it's still locked up tighter than a whale's butthole, not a chance.
But officially streaming something has nothing to do with leaks. :?

That's the source of about 90% of leaks that I come across.

It ain't working. Fucking Jedi bullshit.
One time the power went out here in the office. After about a half hour I told the gang I was going to 'will' the power on and it would be on at 10:02 am. It came on at 10:02 am. I haven't used this power since then because, well, it frightened me..and them..but in the interest of our...um...shared interests. I'm ready to deploy this power again....
May the force be with you.

You're not understanding me. Bands often stream their albums OFFICIALLY via the Guardian etc. about a week before release. Someone might rip that and "leak it", but if the band has already streamed the album, a rip isn't really a leak because it's officially, legally available to stream anyway.

I think he completely understands you. A rip turned into mp3s and mass downloaded on the net is definitely a leak.

Probably true.
Here's what I imagine...

Setting: A week before release date, in the woods near a river, group camp out

Stone: "Guys, according to fans, we should stream this a week early"
Jeff: "I like that idea."
Mike: "Yeah, let's do it."
Ed: [Walks down to river's edge and places CD in the water; it floats away]...Like that?

GROUP HIGH FIVE!
