So you just excuse single songs leaking like that when they took EXTRAORDINARY precautions to keep the album from leaking? Parts of it did, I guess, that still constitutes as a leak to me.
god damn your sig is big... Singles released by the artist for promotional purposes wouldn't constitute a leak... neither would 30 second snippets also released for promotional purposes (which I didn't see for watch the throne BTW). Tiny snippets only help sales when the material is solid enough. Also, August 8th was a monday... there are many places around the globe that are 12+ hours ahead of the US. IE: 5PM on August 7th in NYC is 7AM on August 8th in Australia. Bottom line, props to Jay-z and Kanye west for proving it can be done. They succeeded and I am sure they're happy.

Male Bonding - Endless Now [leaked, due out August 29, 2011] Blitzen Trapper - American Goldwing [leaked, due out September 13, 2011]
It's streaming now, so I don't know if that would constitute a leak or not. Sounds really good though.
David Guetta - Nothing but the Beat [leaked, due out August 26, 2011] Loney Dear - Hall Music [leaked, due out October 4, 2011] Hella - Tripper [leaked, due out August 30, 2011] Barbra Streisand - What Matters Most [leaked, due out August 23, 2011]
And it sucks. Kind of like The Carter III. and The Carter II. and The Carter. My point is, Weezy has bright spots on his studio albums but he's definitely more of a mixtape artist.
I do agree for the most part. IE: The Suffix But Carter 1 and 2 were actually pretty fucking good. Not so much carter 3 though....
Apparat - The Devil's Walk [leaked, due out September 27, 2011] Nurses - Dracula [leaked, due out September 20, 2011] The Devil Wears Prada - Dead Throne [leaked, due out September 13, 2011] Bombay Bicycle Club - A Different Kind Of Fix [leaked, due out August 29, 2011] 10 ft Ganja Plant - Shake Up The Place [leaked, due out August 30, 2011] Cobra Starship - Night Shades [leaked, due out August 29, 2011]
Yes that is quite a large ganja plant if you ask me.... When Dre leaks I don't think you'll need me to say anything. That shit will spread like wildfire. Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn of Events [leaked, due out September 13, 2011] Laura Marling - A Creature I Don't Know [leaked, due out September 12, 2011] Owen - Ghost Town [leaked, due out November 8, 2011] Saves the Day - Daybreak [leaked, due out September 13, 2011] Jonathan Coulton - Artificial Heart [leaked, due out September 2, 2011] M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming [leaked, due out October 18, 2011] The Drums - Portamento [leaked, due out September 12, 2011] We Came As Romans - Understanding What We've Grown To Be [leaked, due out September 13, 2011]
WHAT? This early? That upsets me, love m83 though must download this. BTW The-Dream (r&b dude) released a free album recently, thats actually pretty good, at least sonically.
Staind - Staind Hmmm. I really haven't been able to find a legit d/l, so I'm not confident that this is accurate.
