The Double Edged Sword

I posted the wrong link in my last post but here (http://blood-pact.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4245) is an update from Alkaline Trio (http://www.alkalinetrio.com) regarding their new album. Buy this CD when it comes out May 24th, it's incredible and hearing it in perfect quality, with all of the artwork, is so going to be worth the money.

You know they could have been assholes regarding its leaking, but it appears they know in this day and age it is unstoppable. It has to suck when people get your cd 2 months before it comes out in stores, and I definitely plan on buying this cd. It is a great cd, along with many other things coming out in May.

I hope everyone that downloaded this album buys the actual album. Im saving this crimsion virginity for May 7th when i see them in Clevland and when i get off my lazy ass and go to my local record store to pick up a copy. :headshake

[nrthstar]

I'll be buying this one for sure. I've heard a few of the leaked songs and it all sounds pretty good. Can't wait to hear it with higher quality.

Funny, because I see you in the chat all the time asking when the new Fall Out Boy is going to leak and asking all kinds of requests from people that you constantly piss off...

[Drew Beringer]

This album is so badass.

Did i say i was pure? Did i say i don't do it? I just said it has to suck for them....And I don't think I have asked WHEN anything will leak.....But whateva, i really don't care

[bostonHxC]

derek is a whiny little bitch isnt he... im gonna buy it..

I guess it''s just me but he seemed like a dick in his post. Leaking happens to everyone. It's something you'll have to deal with in the age of the internet. If there's quality in the product people will still buy it. Unforunatly for Alkaline Trio there isn't. I've had Hot Hot Heat for months now but I plan on buying it because it's actually very good. I like owning the artwork and actual CD but maybe im just a sucker. After all I have over 2000 CDs.

Actually, they tend to do quite well as far as sales go.

[As Derrick Rust]

I was just stating my opinion on their music.

[bostonHxC]

This album is ok so far with a few standout tracks.. Its got a depressed feel to it and they added lots of piano. I know it will grow on me... Good Mourning did.

I will probably still buy it. The first 2 or 3 seconds is cut off from each song that i got so....I like artwork and lyrics and all that stuff.

I wouldn't say your a sucker. I mean, music is an art, and their is accompanying art with it (book, cd...). I think that makes a big difference in buying a cd. I know I preordered Mae because of the lithograph, and because the book it comes with.

Don't think that you are a sucker...after all, sucker=legal ;)

I agree 100%

suck up

that's what i was thinking. but at the same time...he's right.

[kissbangkill]

i think it's funny that all the members of that board are jumping on his nuts and prowling websites and boards trying to find people that're talking about the leak. it's like a scavenger hunt.

[MidniteVulture]

I'm pumped to buy it when it comes out, because it's pretty damn good.

If they would've been polite and not changed the title, I would have held off.

[djUbilla]

I will not hear this until May 24th, and I'm excited as hell for it.

[cutebutxdeadly]

does anyone happen to know if more tour dates will be announced?

[Jason Tate]

i'll suck up to matt skiba all day long.. he's so cool.

[cheeruptheEmo]

good to know...Im excited!

[cheeruptheEmo]

and to go along with that...i think derek said the right thing. i agree with what he has to say. this is his career and he didnt make music for it to be leaked on the internet. They make music to make money so they can live a life and be happy. i understand where he is coming from and i am going to listen to him and wait till this comes out in may to listen to it. because i want to support a band I love .

[End is Forever]

that was pretty funny actually. did you mean to suck up to him in that second part of the sentence?

It's not just you. I actually thought it was just ME. It does happen to everyone, no need to get pissed about it. It seems like they're going to hit it HUGE with this record though. More of a rock vibe than a punk vibe to me.

Regardless, this is like one of the three (afs, gastby) discs that ive actually liked so far this year (as opposed to:mae, overit, countless others). I'm loving this record, and yeah, ill probably end up buying it anyway.

But the guy needs to chill just a tad bit.

[adastra]

i got a copy of it today actually, the new alk3 disc. i like it alot. i'm still going to buy it when it comes out, cause they copy i got didn't have the full booklet with it, just an insert. chill out dude, this day and age, leaks are gonna happen.
