Did anyone read that article about the level of security around X&Y?

 

I remember it said journalists who reviewed the album had to walk into a room, with door open and security guard at bay, and sit at a desk, when they would get an iPod sealed in another case with X&Y inside. They then could sit, listen, write notes and leave. All in the open, with no way of getting the songs.

 

I have a feeling this isn't going to leak for awhile. :(

I hope it won't leak, no matter how much I want to hear it.

where was this article from?

I don't want tit to leak either. But knowing how much Coldplay has risen in the public eye since ROBTTH, the sales would still be phenominal.

Leaks are inevitble. They always get leaked no matter what. Whether it's someone mixing the tracks, to the distributors, or even someone that works as a janitor at one of the major labels. it will happen. i promise.

:smug:

Awesome. If it leaks, I'll want to hear it and I want to wait until the release date. No leaks! (the album I mean...not water leaks :happy2:)

a locked iPod!!! thats bananas!!! :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol:

Awesome. It makes me want to hear everything even more. If there is such high security around them, they must be good. :D

i think this is the way it should be, and will be done from now on!

not everyone will go to this extreme.. but I am happy they chose to do it... ;)

i asked a friend to buy the SOS song for me because she has a faster connection, it'd take too damn long to download on mine. instead she got a live version, which i'm happy to listen to, but also 5 other songs which i told her straight outright not to give to me. i don't want to hear live versions until the albums out and i won't listen to anything straight from the album either. i want to spend time listening to it as a whole.

I feel the same way!

I don't :lol:

My thinking is... if it leaks... why not get it? Just as long as you buy the album in the end.

^ I believe this as well.

:wink3:

don't mind waiting for the album myself

I'm pulling my hair waiting to hear "X&Y" but i wouldn't want it to leak.

I'm willing to wait until it's out.

same here...even though I've heard songs off of it (ok, SOS and then the live songs from that gig in March or back then) I still want to wait until the final release date...which is exactly 1 month from today!!
