I couldn't agree with you more...but the reason why they do this is to insure they have #1 debuts in as many countries as possible.....for instance if U2 decided to release the album in the U.S. on Monday March 2nd instead of Tuesday March 3rd they would have a hard time being # 1 because they would only have 1 day of sales(only Monday).....because the sales week for albums in the U.S. runs from Tuesday to Monday...... maybe in Japan or Ireland it runs from Friday to Thursday...I'm not sure...but you get the point.

Yes but there's one important point there....the Killers aren't U2...the world isn't/wasn't waiting for a new Killers album they way they are waiting for U2's upcoming release

I find all these release dates confusing. I wish they'd just release the damn thing on the same day everywhere - us Americans have to wait a week from the Japan release date to buy it.
And everyone's going to hear it on the 25th, anyway. It would make sense to release it on the same day.

If its out on the 27th chances are it will leak a wee bit earlier,either way we will have it before march!

It usually leaks two weeks before release. If it's coming out on the 25th in Japan, that means it'll leak on Feb. 11th or 12th, somewhere around there.
March 3 isnt that long from now, though still too long. I would be with those who say it will not leak. We will all be able to hear it on 25 February, still trying to decide whether to do that or not. In general, does the same thing happen as we did with Boots? Does a thread collect email addresses and someone kick out the MP3's? If I have the whole album, I would probably not be able to resist listening to it.
I listened to beach clips, did everything I could to get my hands on Boots previews and it didnt ruin the experience of hearing it for the first time. I am still trying to decide whether to play it differently for the album and just stay off the blue crack until I have my physical copy on March 3. I dont know, depends on how fast I perceive February to be going by when we get to the 25th. Hopefully quick, all we have to do now is wait out the shortest month of the year! And the days will be getting significantly longer as we wait!

There won't be a preemptive thread, no.
It was a nightmare getting it all together for boots. The idea behind those threads was so that people request, then once they receive, THEY send it on to a few people. We didn't have that snowballing with boots, just a mass mailout, and even then, the second we had word it was on itunes, the people who had already given their email addresses flooded the site with requests rather than waiting 5 minutes to receive their email version.
I think it will be more traditional this time

I've debated whether to download or not on the 25th of Feb, and I've decided I probably will. Even if it leaks earlier than that, I will - I've already put in a preorder at Itunes, and I will buy it on March 3rd (and replace the downloaded version with the bought version.)
I don't see any problem with downloading official material if you buy it when it's available.

Now you made me feel guilty.
Well, you can't blame a fan in the first five minutes after knowing the song is out.

The best thing would be to just forget about it. Then one day you'll get off work around March 10th or something and realize "oh yeah, the new U2 album came out a while back, I'll go to the store and buy it".

snap.
Well, there can't have been many though right? Not as many as there will be copies of the album

Thanks for clarifying! All I was thinking w/ that whole boots thread was thank God i'm not tech savvy enough to volunteer to run this thing! Its looking more and more like I will go into interference lock down mode around Feb 26 and not resurface until I have heard my physical copy of the album and formulated my opinion.

I'm guessing (hoping) the album will leak around the same time the single is released.

I have been invited to the listening party (for press only) at Uni on Friday - and I can't go! Have to cover a film festival and am trying to come up with an evil plan to get out of it.

Evil Plan To Acquire Blue Crack:I have been invited to the listening party (for press only) at Uni on Friday - and I can't go! Have to cover a film festival and am trying to come up with an evil plan to get out of it.
1) Take a sick day or make up some excuse to get out of the film festival.
2) Hide a small microphone on your person.
3) Go to the listening party, making sure to stand right by the speakers for the best-quality sound and the least chatter.
4) ?????
5) PROFIT
Save us, Sirena. You're our only hope.

I actually have found a way out! I'm based in Paris and there's a huge general strike on Thursday, and the railway system will be in shambles. My editor still wants me to go because John Landis will be there and he's ot even giving interviews, just a press conf. Is it worth missing the U2 listening party just for a press conf?? I think not! Especially as I've been informed the band might be doing some promos in the next couple of weeks! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Sirena!U2 or John Landis.......tough choice, both legends. I think you should go to John Landis and then tell him that you are missing a U2 preview because of his press conference and that to make it up he should direct U2's next video - a 15-minute big-budget spectacular a la Thriller.
