No Leak Club

[epilogue]

I think Jeff is probably the unequivocal MVP of this record. First time I'd say that.

Interesting. Having not heard LB yet, I can't comment on your first sentence. But regarding your second, I would have said the same about Backspacer.

He is pretty much one of the main interests this band have from day one, but his playing and writing is stronger since Yield i guess....Backspacer was a pretty tight record for him and Matt.

eddie's vocal melodies were the mvp of backspacer for me.

So have we got an update of the soldiers who died on the battlefield yesterday and today? Maybe not died, because it was officially streamed but moreso lost a leg or two?

Not touching anything, just waiting for my copy on Friday.

I don't care enough to listen to it early

[Tass Man]

it's interesting, i was reading the LB thread and someone mentioned that they wish they hadn't listened to those earlier leaks because now that they have the full album, they skip those songs to listen to the new ones, and it now feels disjointed...

that's exactly one of the reasons i'm in this club... i want to experience the album as a whole, and i don't want it to seem like a disjointed experience or a collection of random songs (even though it may end up sounding that way).

i learned from my experience with S/T. i listened to WWS far too much when it came out, and by the time the album was released i was sick of it and always skipped it. i continued to skip it for probably 3 or 4 years after whenever i listened to the album.

for this album i've limited my listening to MYM and Sirens and i think i'll benefit from that.

im pretty much the same way, i always listen to singles or in the case of S/T the 6 song leak to the point of being tired of the songs and i only want the new ones when the album comes out. now if a full album leak had come out a few weeks ago in full CD quality then i might have caved, but at this point i see no need to listen to a stream when ill have the CD in my hands in a week.

Who's waiting to hold an official copy in their hands before listening? I want to blast this in my room on a stereo with the liner notes.

OK folks, checking back in after a week's hiatus... what's everyone doing about this steaming BS?

Not for me, I've made it this long. C'mon, Mr. Mailman... Saturday please!

im still hopeful of it showing up on saturday, but i havent gotten one of those emails saying that my order was processed, so i think im gonna be out of luck for getting this early, my first listen will probably be next tuesday, after work, and after i buy it at best buy or target

When did you pre-order yours? I didn't pre-order mine until a few days ago, and I already got the email saying they shipped it.

[Lament]

You won't find longer.

Is that a dare? Did you already forget my lengthy write up of a dream that somebody else had? I'm not above trying to write a longer review of an album I haven't heard yet. I GOT NOTHING GOING FOR ME MAN.

That's right. I'm throwing down the gauntlet.

NOT ONLY WILL MY REVIEW BE LONGER, BUT IT WILL BE FOR AN ALBUM THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST YET.

ALBUM #11 REVIEW, COMING SOON...

Quit stalling

Hey man, sometimes a man has a great counter-argument on his chest and he doesn't want to sit around and wait for someone to make the initial claim so he can use it. I'm here to help that man.

just the CD?

my mistake, like with backspacer was ordering the CD and the Vinyl together, and i ordered it as soon as it was available

Still holding out here for a proper lossless option, on the vintage McIntosh stereo at full volume.

Yeah, just the CD. I guess that makes sense, but it's pretty shitty on their part. They should have shipped your CD already.

especially since im pretty sure it was separate shipping for each , but i have no problem buying a 2nd copy of the CD from a retail store, i do a lot of times in case there is something different about them, but it eliminates any chance of me getting it early.

I'm still debating. I *may* go home this afternoon, have the house to myself, and just lie on the couch looking out the window at the mountains, with gray, dark rainy skies.

Or, I'll wait til next week.

Woo hoo! There's the shipping confirmation in my inbox!

"Your Ten Club LLC order is on its way!"

Oddly enough though I pre-ordered the CD back in July and no shipping confirmation on that yet. This is for the vinyl which I just pre-ordered a few weeks ago (as if they are working on the pre-orders in the reverse order?) Either they're shipping the 2 items together and just sent me one shipping confirmation, or they are purposefully shipping the vinyl orders a bit earlier since they may take longer to arrive (?) Does that make any sense.

Either way, I'm stoked
