This is a good point. Part of me wonders why they would do the countdown clock for news they've delivered before via the simpler route of email. Another part of me thinks that they really like doing superficial snazzy shit like playing with artwork on the website, countdown clocks, and all those things that normally only Rihanna fans would get excited about. The best part of me doesn't really give a shit.
They didn't use a Countdown Clock for Ole, did they? - and that was free music.

So thinking about this some more, this Countdown Clock, unless it reveals some truly valuable content, is set up to fail.
Yeah, the most likely thing is that this is a massive anticlimax. I don't feel that this news is more 'special' because it's been so long, but I do feel more entitled to it. There's a difference.

I do doubt it will as big as it should be after a 1 week count down, but we will see in just over an hour

If we don't get an album, at least we can start looking for the leak at this point, I would imagine.

The other possible way this could disappoint me is if there is no PJ album and it's just that Ed solo album.

Let's think positive.

Realistically, what would make the Countdown worth it?

I'm thinking a streaming version of the first single (assuming the song and lyrics don't suck) would be cool.

Thoughts?

Aren't they the same thing? If they're not, then there's two more ways we could be disappointed.

Let's be honest, if 10c can find a way to be disappointing they will.

This is literally the only thing I want for the rest of my life, from this point onwards.
