Famous Old Painter

I tried avoiding a leak for an album I highly antisipated last year. Didn't work. In the past I would've avoided leaks and waited until release date to rush up to the CD store and listen to my brand new album! Was the greatest feeling. But nowadays we've entered the digital age and all my nearby CD stores have closed down and I've been ordering all my CDs and Vinyl from overseas. which takes about 2 weeks or so to reach me. I've pre-ordered the gatefold CD and 12" so I can listen probably I wont be able to hold off 2 weeks after everyone's heard the record. But I find myself spending every minute of the last few months thinking of this record (subconsiously at times though!). But I just cant stand it anymore. EVERY DAY I've been logging on hoping the thing has leaked and it never does. Still, it's not like we'll NEVER hear it, is it?

Whoopsy, triple post! :laugh3:

If that is the real cover then the thread starter really is Noel Gallagher!

Wow... that sounds nothing like how I expected. I think I love it, but i'll have to hear the full thing without talking over it several times before I can make a proper judgement.

Looking back from the release date we'll think that the wait was really quick! But now it's seems like it's taking forever! Like waiting for your birthday!

:shy:

Look back a few pages and you'll find your answer. ;) Maybe the first post should be updated with questions and answers so we dont go repeating ourselves.

18 days! So soon yet so very far away!

It's too much of a coincidence that two completely seperate people would say that this is Lovers in Japan. I'm thinking Debs comment may have been misenterpreted somehow.

LiJ fades out, then Chris counts in (1, 2, 3, 4) Reign Of Love. I think.

Ha, yeah same.

Nice question! Also, apart from Violet Hill and Viva la Vida of course, what songs off the album would you say are potential singles? And which ones arent?

Ah, that's ok ;) You weren't to know. Though this thread probably should get deleted before some more people explode over Ians lovely carpet.

These are the effects of Coldplay! ;)

Damn you Cropcircle, getting me all excited for nothing!

I'm dying here. The wait is literally hurting me.

Locust7 also says it's Lovers in Japan. He's given us heaps of info so far and none of it has been false so far! And as said above, Andrew also says it's Lovers in Japan. I'll put 50 Monopoly dollars on it being Lovers in Japan. Dont know why Debs is denying it though, maybe she means it's not the album version of LIJ? In which case she'd be correct.

Need.... album... now!

I'm still believing it's Lovers in Japan until I have solid proof otherwise.

I just found out the week VLV comes out is Exam week. A bit bittersweet there. Still hoping it leaks!

Was there any room for a disc 2 in the gatefold perchance? (Just to put to rest some of the rumours on here at the moment) Again, thanks so very much! :D

I think The Escapist is the synth intro of LiT with lyrics, though they're not the LiT lyrics, so no 'Baby it's a violent world' I'm guessing. When the album comes out I'm gonna try and mix these two songs together.

Everyone now thinks that Kaiser Chiefs 'Oh My God' is a Lily Allen song. Taking brilliant indie tracks and turning them into sleazy top 10 hits goes against everything I stand for.
