Not with the way things have been going for the last 4-5 years. Nowadays, we're lucky if an album leaks a week ahead of time. And usually that's because the band streams the entire thing on their myspace. Damn, I miss the old days.

No, I miss the old days, when leaking and piece-of-shit mp3s didn't exist.

Depends. This year alone, I've seen albums leak 4 months in advance, and some that leaked 3 days in advance.

The difference is watermarking. When pre-release copies were given to journalists and radio stations on CD they would just rip them and "leak" them. Now everything is watermarked, so if they do that they can be traced and prosecuted by the label.

EIGHT SEVEN SEVEN CASH NOOOOOOOOOOOW



Regarding leaks:
I experience everything from 2 months in advance to 2 weeks after the first release date, haha. The Maiden album probably won't leak until days before release, due to severe crack down on it. I wouldn't expect to see it anywhere before the Thursday or Friday before release. I have no problem with this being that Maiden are one of the few (if not only) bands I have a strict "no leak" policy for.

I can wait. It will be out when its out
