Discussion about fallout from the leak.

[Dienekes]

I have heard a few rumors that what we are hearing is not the final mix or an incomplete mix. Personally I don't buy this cause rs and de sound the same as the regular versions.

A bigger question is who leaked it and how does it affect the band? I know 99% of the people on here are going to buy a copy and many will buy two. What about the average Joe though? Anybody think this could really hurt sales or be detrimental to the band?

Another rumor I have read conjectures that the band themselves leaked it because the file says leaked dub. I find this one ridiculous but I am just putting it out there. My hope is that the leak just generates good word of mouth and this thing sells like hotcakes but who knows...

What would the files saying "leaked dub" have anything to do with the band leaking the album?

I agree totally but that is a theory on some other boards. I really doubt the band would do it. Intact they are probably none too happy right now. Makes no sense for them to do it. I would think they would put the album art out first, but hey, conspiracy theories abound.

That is 100% bullshit.

You should really stop visiting fuckingretards.com.

@topic:

a leak 2 months before the release? the band should probablly overthink their partners they are working with.


i dont feel too bad for them. i know they make good money from their shows with a pretty solid fanbase. other bands dont have that

You are right about it being ridiculous that the band have leaked it. Let's just agree that whoever started that rumour is a fucking retard

Well its in this 2 months after a single has been released that radio stations start getting copies of the albums so someone probably stole the cd, ripped it and uploaded. Another possibility is someone from the factory did the same thing or it could have been stolen from their computer. Though i think the most possible scenario is the radio station one.

The band would never try to leak their own record because they actually hope it doesnt leak and sells so the label doesnt have to worry about losses and dropping them. then y make us wait?just write the songs and give it to us..

I believe it's not the final mix because of the difference in rocket skates audio quality and the rest of the record.

I dont think it was a factory leak.. it would have come with the album cover at least.

here's an article about the album's leak being incomplete.

"and apparently people are claiming that in "You've Seen The Butcher" there are sounds reminiscent of Gmail's chat function, giving credence to the argument that the leak came from a streaming copy. "

has anyone encountered this?

Couple of different forums. Something Awful and I think the other was absolutepunk.net.

Have not heard that but it is pretty interesting. The end of beauty scholl seems to have a good bit of hiss, etc. for me.

[godin]

cant complain tho. its good quality for an album that I didnt think would leak this quickly

[Dienekes]

Don't get me wrong, no complaints here. But isn't it our job to analyze every minute detail to death? 

[Starz]

Some of the songs just don't sound completely finished to me, sometimes Chino is buried too much in the mix and sometimes Frank's input just jumps out randomly way too loud. But it does sound MASTERED correctly so maybe it is the final version. Only the month of May will let us know...

[kurtone]

maybe theyll do what thrice did and release a digital version early...
