Edited, some guys/repliers are right, it's more fun listening for the first time without too much info. Sorry guys, it was just enthusiams and lack of new info / things happening here. Wait and see, 100% sure there's at least 3-4 songs on there for anyone that they will love!

Thanks,
Now you've listened to it a lot, would you say it's better than DGSS (Which i know you like)?

Is it just me or is this getting a bit weird?
To get someone's updates on what he thinks after a week of listening to an album that's not out that he's refusing to share, starting threads on what the first single should have been when no-ones heard the song and can't really participate in the conversation?
Probably not your intention but this does smack of "look what I've got and you haven't"

Exactly beggars can't be choosers. I like getting these snippets of info. Thank you again

'Refuses to share' give me a fucking break. He'd be an idiot to leak it. I hate the way people feel entitled to stuff just because they have a computer.

You will inevitably attract forum nuts who will chastise and abuse you for not leaking. It would be advisable not to test the patience of a notoriously intolerant forum.

Probably not your intention but this does smack of "look what I've got and you haven't" I get what you mean, but trust me: i have no interest in 'showing off' (for who? will it get me girls?), i know how i feel normally during these times, always searching for more and more info in the awaiting of a new release of my favourite bands. It's just some thoughts and extra info, for those who care about it. For those who don't, skip the thread and also: it's just one mans opinion. Don't expect a classic album, but do expect new personal favourites and some songs you will keep listening to over and over again! But these are the last thoughts i will share before release/leak, i promise

Thanks for this. Sounds like Iz Right and I'm Just Saying will be amazing. Would you compare the repetitiveness in Shine a Light to Dream On with the last minute an a half? Too many shout it out for me/cmons make me skip the last minute as well. Otherwise it is a great song.

Cheers for the info man, I think tensions are running high at this particular time, Love these threads just because it gives me another small shred of info but its also slightly annoying we can't listen to it ourselves and draw our own conclusions (kind of like dangling a carrot, as we move closer to it we just can't quite eat it lol) but no worries our time will come! again thanks for your review much appreciated!

Probably not your intention but this does smack of "look what I've got and you haven't" Disagree with the "refusing to share". That's an entitled view. However, I'm not too far off from the rest. Was very grateful for the first thread, but every thread after that seems more and more like dangling a carrot, though that's obviously not the desired attempt. Thanks for the info johnking

You will inevitably attract forum nuts who will chastise and abuse you for not leaking. It would be advisable not to test the patience of a notoriously intolerant forum. Forum nut seems a bit strong for having an opinion. So if we don't agree with someone we're supposed to keep quiet? Hardly seems reasonable on a 'forum'. I'm not personally arsed who tolerates or doesn't tolerate my opinion I'm simply stating it. I wouldn't be leaking it either I'm pointing out that a lot of people will want the guy to leak it with these type of threads on a forum where everyones dying to hear it. If i had it I'd listen to it and wait for everyone else to hear it before discussing it but that's me. If people are more than happy to listen to an album with a certain impression of it because every last nuance of every song has been explained to them then good for them. Ill follow the original posters suggestion and avoid his threads.

I want him to leak it too. I too find posts about songs I'm dying to hear tantalising. But I know nothing is to be gained from complaining. And so I wait. I suggest others do the same and that the OP be cautious about how much he posts, because whilst most of us are grateful, others are impatient.

If I had the album I think would struggle to leak it (maybe i'm the only one), I mean would you like to be responsible for leaking an album for one of your favourite bands and therefore possibly hurting sales? Its one thing listening to a leaked album but to leak it personally? plus he's got quite a privilege being able to listen to it this early I don't think he wants to lose the opportunity on future releases just to leak an album thats probably only about 2 weeks away from being heard officially. Patience guys, the wait is almost over!

It's all about opinions and peoples perceptions of what they hear.
Just seen the mini review on DCYHO.com, and that reviewer thought Face the Crowd was one of the highlights (best rocker since Lyla - which isnt too hard)

I was pointing out that people will read the constant posts and say why is he not leaking it and then what starts out as a helpful review becomes a series of Begging pm's and "how high are the Aahs on the bridge" of this song. I'm sure the intentions are genuine but it feels a bit overdone to me personally. First review was all I needed to hear and I shall refrain from reading further updates. And I agree with the above poster I wouldn't leak an album and hurt the band but I would download it because I know I'm buying a cd anyway (and tickets for the ABC gig)

No worries Johnking probably major frustration on my part at wanting to hear the album and knowing someone else has it. From what you said in your first review I'm hopeful for this album anyway. I'm sure the leak is imminent ;-)

Probably not your intention but this does smack of "look what I've got and you haven't" It's getting to that point. No offence to johnking or anything. But the running commentary and multiple threads that none of us can contribute to is a bit frustrating. The review was great for the information about how they sounded though. So thanks for that.

How are you listening to the CD? Something fishy about all these reviews....

I can't seem to find it in google.

I don't know I'm a bit skeptical. I read johnking's other review and it is very vague. It seems like he read the NME and Q magazine articles and sprinkled it with made up guesses.
Also johnking sounds like a homonym of "joking".
Who knows i could be wrong or my tin foil hat must be working.
