To listen or not?
Inevitably & expectedly "BH/BC" has leaked! Apparently it surfaced through Oink first & is now making its way to several other torrent sites, e.g. here or here.
And although I am getting decent download speeds & the download is about to finish soon I am still undecided whether to listen or not. My previous experiences with album leaks of my favourite bands have been pretty hit or miss: sometimes it works & sometimes it destroys the tension & anticipation thoroughly. Either way I'll try my best to make careful use of spoilers regarding significant new album content the next three weeks leading up to the real album release.

Thanks for the heads up :P
i have snapped and am listening to it right now. i was also afraid of losing the tension and anticipation, too. but i'm glad to say it worked out fine on this one.

yeah, i listened too :)
i was thinking...maybe it depends on the quality of the album. if the music is dissappointing in the first place the leak won't exite that much. but if it's a true meisterwerk like "bh/bc" it'll work.
i am certainly looking forward to the actual relase. can't wait to study the liner notes.
Heh, I listened too! Great stuff, I have to say! Like getting a old friend back. (:
I guess that you've already discovered that Devil Dog and Dominoes (from Tokyo 8.12.2003) is partly the same song? Nice developement from a dull poprocker to a groovy and heavy song on the album!
And ditto on the liner notes. I don't think DP is involved at all in this release actually. It sounds way too raw for that. But, who knows?
I downloaded it tuesday. However, I don't think I will listen to it - I just ordered my copy of the ltd.ed. CD from Stickman, and it to some extent spoils the pleasure of listening to the album for the first time if it's a ripped mp3 version instead of the actual, physical album. Yeah, I know, I'm old. I'm 35. Although Dennis, who is 37, is not old.
