That One Guy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If it did leak.... I don't think i'd take one look at it. This might be the final studio album. When Alice In Chains' 2009 album "Black Gives Way To Blue" came out, I had heard one song off it. After school on release day, I went to the CD store with two friends, I bought it and we got in the car and listened to the whole thing. The "surprise" on release-day felt special. I'm going to do this with Clockwork Angels. I'm not gonna be buying an album on Itunes, or checking it out on youtube or spotify. I'm gonna go about my day, and when everything's done, I'll hit FYE or the like, pay the $15 or so, and put it in a stereo. It'll be a good day.

Mr. Henry Gale Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) The chances of a leak on this are pretty slim. Snakes & Arrows didn't leak until two weeks before release date (someone want to correct me on this? I know it leaked, but it was pretty close to the release date). Now that Rush have a label that is really promoting them and making sure to handle them with care, it's even more unlikely. The only chance this leaks is if someone at the warehouse/factory nabs them while they are being produced, and leaks it. It does happen, but usually only for really big releases that someone is willing to risk their job on (believe me, it happens). And if not there, your next shot is a promo leaking. But even that is becoming more and more rare, with watermarked promos + them getting smarter with digital streams (and no, I don't mean the regular stream where you can just easily grab the files). And at that point, no person is going to go through the trouble of ripping it and then leaking their promo which would cost them their job. So then your last chance is at retail. Once the units are shipped out to the stores (which is 1-2 weeks before release depending). I really don't see this leaking very early. But then again, stranger things have happened.

Neither did Caravan. They seem to be able to keep a tight lid on things. Not saying it isn't possible, I'm just extremely skeptical, especially when no links are posted. I know we aren't supposed to post illegal links, but how on earth could you not listen to just a little of it to find out for sure before posting a thread about it? Caravan and BU2B did leak.

jacklifeson Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I dunno, I searched and alot of these "leaked" torrents were created months ago, probably before they even finished any of the songs. Beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If you've got an album leak and it's more than two weeks before the release date you've got yourself a 100 percent fake. No albums are leaked that early. The only time i've ever seen in a month or more in advance is when an album has had an earlier release date in Europe than in the US. About a week and half ahead of time is the earliest you'll see an album leak today.

Hey Goobs, Yes it requires a special program but the process is fairly easy after you get the hang of it. There are 3 or 4 really good sites out there that specialize in music torrents that help you download very excellent stuff that has NOT been comercially released. They are very vigilant about making sure nothing shared is in any way comercially available. An example of what's available would be the pro-shot 1994 Auburn Hills Rush concert. That would be one of the best things I've ever obtained via torrenting. There are tons of audio "bootlegs" too. Quality varies extremely widely. Plenty of the stuff out there is poor quality, believe me. But the gems make it so very worthwhile IMO. I recommend not trying to obtain stuff like HF cuz people love to slip viruses into songs/albums/video that is downloaded from sites that allow comercially available stuff to be shared. Besides, it's against the law and takes from the artist. If you know anyone that can give you some guidance I recommend you give it a try.
