MX leaked the week before release and I have to say I wasn't patient. But I did also buy it on Download, on CD and on Vinyl. So I don't feel too guilty! LOL. However I WILL wait for this one. I got the Record Store email too. I definitely want the vinyl of this. Anyone think it will be another 'pop up' or something similar? Ill have to admit that if it leaks more than a day or two before the release, I wont be able to contain myself and will listen too it. I have it preordered from target so regardless of if it leaks or not im buying it.

I listened to MX when it leaked, I would really try not to listen this time if it leaked, but I feel like its going to be nearly impossible to resist. Knowing its out there, and not hearing it, would be tourterous.

I would NOT listen to or download a leak but if they do officially stream it on itunes or another site the week before release like they did for MX I would probably not be able to resist listening to that. I might try to save a song or two for when I buy my physical copy... the key word being try!

Yeah.. I think it might be quite hard. Which is really why I hope they don't. Particularly running this forum. I shan't be able to avoid it, no matter how hard I really wish to wait for the LP. But I am going to try!

I'm guessing that on May 12th it will go to iTunes for a week of streaming (an obvious leak there) because it hits Australia for release on the 16th before it releases worldwide on the 19th. They would rather let it go for streaming themselves on the 12th then let the rest of the world steal it on the 16th before they can purchase it on the 19th. Whaddya mean, Australia is getting the album before everyone else? Is this real life? I would then show off the new spoils to be a bother but I hate being a braggart. I also listened to the Viva leak and then bought the album the morning it came out, listened to MX leak and did not get. It's helpful as it influences my purchase I guess, I know what I'm getting into. Gone are the days I could afford to blind buy albums off a few songs

I might try to save a song or two for when I buy my physical copy... the key word being try! I am with you here. Trying is a very important thing. If it's an unoffical leak, I won't listen, even though I know that I'm buying it (many times in various forms..) It's just a personal thing for me. BUT if they do it officially, even though I would love to hear it fresh and have surprises, it would be most difficult, and my willpower would certainly be tested!

The funny thing is if that they do officially stream it early this forum would be a BIG part of why I would listen to it. I wouldn't want to miss out on all the great converstions that would be sure to be going on. Logging on here everyday and hearing everyone discussing songs I haven't heard yet would drive me nuts!

^She is totally turning into an American. Hang out with one, you start to think you're one. (In reverse, I find myself saying 'lovely' a whole heck of a lot.) But I agree, oldmuckers. An official leak would be so hard to pass up, and the excitement and conversation here would be impossible to miss!

Talking here on the forums feels almost as important to the experience as listening to the music itself haha.

Here is an idea that I had that I will also post in the "ask for" thread but it is on topic here as well... If it does leak / stream early perhaps we should create a temporary sub-forum to the Ghost Stories section of the board where people who have heard it can discuss every detail to their heart’s content while not having to worry about spoiling it for those who are waiting and in turn the fans who are waiting to listen on the day of release can continue to speculate in the regular Ghost Stories section without having to worry about reading any spoilers. That way everyone can enjoy their album release experience in the way that they prefer and still have a place to talk about it. If we did have such a sub-forum I would name it… Ghost Spoilers!
