Just did a NLOTH search and found these. I refused to listen. The comments below "Breathe" say high quality. The comments below "Magnificent" say low quality. Anyone hear these yet, are they the beach clips every one is talking about?

Apparently so is "Unknown Caller".
 
I refuse to listen to them as well =). If they were true album leaks, I'm pretty sure there would be a few threads raving about the songs already.

I thought maybe they just popped up recently b/c a few videos posted I never have seen before and some of the comments posted below are freaking out, so the songs must be the real deal, just not sure if they were the clips or album versions.
 
So you do a daily search for album leaks would refuse to listen to any should they surface? I respect your will power.

Hahaha, yeah, I just want to know when it leaks so I can read people's reactions. I do not like Boots, so I am curious as to how the rest of the album sounds. I ruined my listening experiences of HTDAAB and ATYCLB by listening to leaked versions so I refuse this time to listen to anything until the album comes out in a month.

agreed.

I've been oh so tempted in the past. I cracked about 3 months ago and listened to 4 seconds of one clip before quickly "X" ing out of it.

All I heard was Bono singing "Ra...." and it was it :D

Kudos to you for abstaining from listening
 
Wow your all chickens. Not listening to them. Yeah there just beach clips. Been listening to these for nearly 5 months now and its gonna be weird when I hear the finished versions without the waves and chit chat!:lol:
 
I've listened to every last shred of NLOTH that's leaked...legit or not. When it leaks in full, I'll be all over that ASAP.
 
I listened to them after the album was delayed last year, but not since. There was one I remember that I really liked, so I listened to it over again a few more times. It was the "Only love..." clip, which is now "Magnificent." :drool:
 
My friend lives in Ireland... thinking of making her buy album and emailing me the songs.. but I assume someone else will do this too...

I want to wait as the anticipation for a new album is actually really enjoyable in a way... you can only hear it for the first time ONCE... by 3 or 4 listens you'll have heard it...

So it's one of those things where if it was in front of me, I'd have to listen, but I hope I have to wait and enjoy it...
 
Is buying the itunes pre-order album and listening to it at work the day of the release considered a "cop-out" of the true CD experience? The thing is, I'm sure I'd end up compressing the album onto my computer anyway, so I figured I'd get the itunes version and treat myself to the bonus songs that come along with it =)

I don't think that is a cop-out at all. The point I was making is that for ATYCLB and HTDAAB, I listened to everything as it came in....30 second clips, beach clips, alternate mixes, unofficial album cuts, album cuts......before the album came out. When I bought the album, there were no surprises or uniqueness.

This time, I want to really enjoy the album from beginning to end without hearing a lick.
 
When do the 30 second clips typically show up on iTunes? Just when it's released?
 
How much of a difference does it make to listen to an album right from the CD rather than from iTunes?

I was thinking about getting it on itunes the minute it came out, but I like to have the physical thing in my hands. Or do I buy the album, speed home, and sync it to my ipod, plug in my big Sony headphones and take it in?????:drool::hyper:
 
Ok I just caved in and listened to the 3 beach clips on YouTube. The quality of the recordings is not great but from what I was able to make out, I am most impressed by the clip labeled Unknown Caller. It sounds very good :drool:
