I remember when How To Dismantle was about to come out.There was mega security around it,it was delivered in suitcases handcuffed to a rep etc.It was leaked exactly 2weeks and 2 days before its release.X&Y must leak soon surely?.

I got my hands on an advanced copy of Beck's Guero over a month before it's slated release date...these things happen. There are so many hands in the cookie jar... it's very difficult to control. U2 also had someone break into their studio and steal some of their masters. X&Y will be released on the other side of the pond next week...those songs will be all over the P2P sites on the same day. However, I wil purchase the album because I believe in supporting artistic integrity and the noble causes they champion.

 

Peace...

I had both those albums too. Most albums nowdays you can find before they come out officially.
