Red Mosquito

The first 6-7 songs of S/T leaked about a month before release. I remember listening to it while running a half marathon in early to mid-April.

I’ll probably buy this one on cd. LB is the only PJ album I don’t own.

If I knew the digital came with a pdf of the liner notes I’d probably buy that instead.

We all could use some Gigaton right now

I also can't recall; I saw the band on album release day and remember knowing most of the words to the new songs, so it must have been at least a week.

I saw them in Buffalo on that tour, which I know was before the album officially came out, and I'd had it for maybe three days at that point.

Yeah, I was at the Worcester show that was day of release for LB and I specifically remember this wacko sitting in front of me knowing all the words to every new song.

Lightning Bolt release date was 10/15, I want to say iTunes had the entire album available 10/8. I can't recall what the promotion was, but the album was available to listen to.

I can remember listening to it on my commute home from work that day. I had tickets to Pittsburgh (10/11) and Buffalo (10/12) on that tour and I had heard the entire album prior to those shows.

folks, it's not digital copy, it's Gigital* copy

This is true. They were shitty bounces, but listenable.

Also, wasn't Unemployable the B-side to WWS? Always thought it was weird we got two album cuts when the single officially dropped

They werent even mastered right? I had those.

I distinctly remember the discussion that there probably wouldn't be a fade-out of Life Wasted on the final album.

haha! it's all flooding back

Simple Torture wrote:Real quick search of my email, looks like it leaked 10/9 (release date was 10/15).

Looking my email:

Getaway, Lightning Bolt, Let the Records Play and Swallowed Whole leaked on September 13 2013

A week later they released Sirens as single. We already had Mind Your Manners

So we had half of the album a month before

Wasn't this for an MLB Playoffs promotional thing?

Correct! Just downloaded it here and says "Pearl Jam songs for MLB"

Full songs but bad audio quality

Spin's review is the first time anyone has ever mentioned vocals by Stone.
