I feel like I've typed this 37 times in this thread over the past month, and, yet...here we are
Bigger albums still do on occasion. Both the new Vampire Weekend and Queens of the Stone Age leaked a week in advance.

Okay I’m heading to a three hour cheerleading camp with my seven-year old. Assuming I survive and make it back alive I’d love to see the leak in my messages, thanks… :hooray:

I don't understand the obsession over whether it leaks. I want my first listen to be best available quality and I don't trust that a leak will be. Only a few more days.

So apparently, this record store has the CDs in stock.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

If it really is out there, surely one of us can find it.

I don’t understand the obsession with bits and samples when the underlying production is garbage.
You’re talking about degrees of shit here.
You're assuming I'm in agreement with you on the production.

I don't know if the rumours of a leak are true or not, but if any of you fine gentlemen or ladies come across it, do send me a PM. :)

This thread is bringing out the worst in us all. When the album finally comes out we should burn it.

while fully conceeding that better production could make these songs even better, it has certainly not gotten in the way of my immense enjoyment of Dark Matter or lesser but still real enjoyment of Running. And if a song like DM was mixed to sound like it was on No Code or Riot Act Id probably enjoy it less - the pummeling feel of the song elevates its impact (in a way, to be fair, it probably wont on, say, Wreckage).

this is basically the brick wall conversations around S/T all over again
