according to locust, who has proved to be very well connected, "it's hard this record will leak before 11th June" -

 

I really think we will have to wait until June 11, 'cause if Violet Hill did not leak and it's only one song - I don't think we're getting a different treatment for the whole album!

 

The band and especially EMI, demonstrated with Violet Hill that they are very good at keeping the songs and new material from leaking!

 

However, don't worry, 'cause a new song will come out on May 21 and from now to the release of the album we will get new things from Coldplay everyday. Just like we did today with that new picture of the band where you can see their awesome style!!!

 

Cheers!

Does anyone remember in 2005 when MTV (or VH1...I can't remember which) released ALL of X&Y online to listen to on their website about a month and a half before it was released? It makes me wonder if something similar will happen with VLVODAAHF...

It's very rare for an album not to leak before the release, especially those popular ones. So it's just a matter of time. It will definitely leak.

 

I am not sure if I will download the leaks (great temptation). But definitely I'm gonna buy the CD!!!

it won't leak.

 

EMI learned their lesson from X&Y

 

if violet hill didn't leak then the album won't

 

however, good news on the horizon.

 

my local HMV are selling the album from June 4th.

 

I pre-ordered and paid for it in full yesterday and was told the release date their was the 4th.

 

Although it still says the 12th on their website.

 

interesting... :thinking:

it wasn't a month and a half before..it was exactly one week before the release date

 

The album was released in June right? I have a videotape of myself at a friend's house with 'What If' playing in the background. This was in late April or May. The only reason I had access to it was because it had been posted on the website along with the rest of the album. I could be wrong, but I'm almost certain that it was out longer than just a week.....in fact...actually...I think I am wrong.....

 

I just remember the wait FEELING like months, haha. I don't recall though. I'll take your word for it.

Most major albums these days have been kept very well under wraps. The new Madonna album for example. They now tend to leak on the sunday before the European release date of thursday/friday in some countries. In other words, June the 8th would seem likely. It's not out of the question for it to leak before that, but it won't leak any later than that as the actual physical CDs will have been shipped from the manufacturers at that point.

My HMV are releasing it June 4th, I've got the pre order receipt to show for it.

 

so if it's being released THAT early in HMV then maybe it'll be leaked like, next week! :stunned: (if at all, which I'm skeptical about)

Leak Predictions

 

Well, it is May 21st, 2008 and I believe night has fallen in the UK as it is now 4:10 in the United States. With no new information today, I am anticipating the moment the album leaks. We have 20 days until June 11th, the first official release date. What date do you think it it will leak?

 

My vote is sometime close to May 30th. As soon as this thing goes into production and begins shipping, someone will up it.

People who know about leaking, say that one week before the official release, hence, June 4.

 

However, EMI has been incredibly careful with this album since their existence depends on it!!! So we have to remember that our friend locust said that the album won't leak until it is released.

 

I really hope that the album leaks very very soon! But I don't think we will be hearing it on May! So I will have to go with June 4!

 

cheers!!!
