Dunno if anyone noticed... but Wastelands is playable on Spotify now. http://open.spotify.com/track/2yLGRvHRJr4BOhgBefYz4X
I just wish we'd get previews of the whole album this week. Does anyone remember how many days before the release of Living Things we got previews?
Yeah. So, I think there's a great possibility of the album leaking this weekend. It would be just a week away from the 13th-releases.
The album leaked before we got snippets of everything so I don't think anybody noticed. We did get clips of I'll Be Gone, Lost in the Echo, and one other song (I think it was In My Remains) a little bit before the leak.
I get that, but to me those are not big enough elements to listen to the album in order. I only like Victimized to Roads Untraveled because it transitions from anger towards a person to feeling regret for being angry, ie. it's in emotional order if that makes sense. I'd love for the songs in THP to have some kind of order like that, but from seeing the reviews and interviews it seems more like a collection of similar songs rather than an album experience, but I'm optimistic to see what it turns out like
A Thousand Suns leaked September 7th (three days before the first non US release date) and Living Things leaked because of iTunes. I'd expect this album to leak June 10th at the earliest. We have just about two weeks left before we all hear the album officially. I'm not even worried about the album "experience" anymore. Last time Mike wanted us all to hear it on the same day June 26th, which was practically a last minute desperate call to help their sales.
"Rebellion" to be released on iTunes tomorrow. "Final Masquerade" on June 9th http://www.krab.com/iplaylist/artist/447095/albums.html
Really liking the individual art "characters" that were made for these singles. The band has great taste when it comes to linking the art with their music.
