I was planning to ignore any leaks this time and wait until I could buy the cd but I don't think I have the will power to go on! I only found out it had leaked 15 minutes ago, its been the longest 15 minutes ever! I need help!

 

[Babydoll]

You can do it!!

 

[thelaj]

11 days till the album is released here, and I am thinking that is too long to wait... I can feel myself breaking down.

 

[Purplereign]

. . . just got my box set order confirmation from jb hi fi . . . status has moved from pending to 'in progress' . . . big fat pointy jabby elbow dance of excitment also in progress

 

[Purplereign]

only a few more days to go . . . we can do it, we can do it, we can do it . . .although quite possibly need a better mantra than that to sustain us

Well, you can still pretend you don't know?


Otherwise, be strong! You can do it. Just don't pay attention to the album threads nor read reviews! That'll only tempt you more!
Try to distract yourself.

I am going to hold out.All I have been doing is just checking little hints being dropped here or there from U2com videos,Here Is What Is Trailers,and Guardian/Observer clips.On March 3 I Will have another awesome U2 Expeirence.Its hard though I need to go to LA.Leakers Annoymous.LOL.

 

[Purplereign]

^ obsess over the Brit Awards instead . . . that'll keep you going for a bit . . . have to admit, now that I know my little boxset is on its way, I'm good . . . the initial temptation to listen to the leak has passed . . . add to that my husbands complete indifference to my manic ravings last night and its all going to be fine . . . . *runsofftoreadypaddedcell*

 

[Galeongirl]

GODDAMNIT!

I'm watching tv and they're talking about it. AND THE DJ PLAYS SOME BITS OF THE TRACKS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH


These songs sound fantastic.


I heard something with Only Love in it, and some other track which sounded like UF/Streets guitar, and a bit of Cedars of Lebanon. The last one sounded a bit boring tho.

I have just been reading through some of the reviews........you're right it only makes it worse!

Thanks for the support, good to know I'm not the only one suffering

I am actually wondering why I am putting myself through this stupidity... it almost means disappointment is guaranteed on March 2



Still, got the GOYB CD today

So did I!

Well, at least when we listen to it, the whole initial excitement is gone so it'll be a more calm atmosphere. So we'd be able to judge it better rather than the OMGOMGOMGU2U2U2 hype.

And I don't think it will dissapoint.

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

My gosh
i'm going to hear it

i
can't
i can't

 

[atomicman]

i´m waiting! maybe itunes gonna release it soon?

 

[Danny Boy]

Well, I was holding out but I bought the whole album legally last night and I listened to it.

I was planning on downloading at midnight from iTunes on March 3rd, So I don't see how downloading it from getmusic.com.au is any different. I held out until I could buy the whole album.

Well you have a good point. But I don't have the posibility to buy it legally so I'll wait.

Imagine that, people in OZ not knowing it's out while it leaked there!

 

[Babydoll]

I'm like that too, PR! It's so much fun buying a CD and peeling off the plastic and looking at the inside cover and all! Oh, and playing it 25 times in a row

. . . . or I just live in a vortex of weird time and space, but truly, I have the radio on 24/7, the news, any music show I can find and I hear NADA . . .

^ that . . . my family have all been forewarned that mum will be taking a very very long drive the day I finally get it . . . already have my petrol money saved . . . they promised I could listen to it at home uninterrupted but I just know I'll get bugged a zillion times with "i.m hungry, he pushed me, she sat on me' etc . . .

getting really

 

[corianderstem]

All my special friends on this site have abandoned me, even the two who said they were going to wait until the actual release.

I am cry.

 

[Purplereign]

alrighty my lovely little withholders, have a gorgeous time watching the brits (fingers crossed there'll be some stuff on you tube when I get home tonight), be strong, stay away from WTHHAN threads . . .they're dangerous

. . . want me to get em for ya? flood their inbox with dodgy links to bad 80's tunes . . . that'll fix em!

 

[gump]

Just wanted to say I admire you guys. Hold on 'til the physical release.

I wish I had that kind of will power.

 

[corianderstem]

*sigh*

Nooo, that's okay. I'll just sit here quietly and curse them under my breath.

 

[Purplereign]

I'm really going now . . . but just had a wee giggle at the poll results . . . at time of posting the number of withholders was '69' . . .

(yes, I know, my maturity levels have hit an all time low )

 

[RedRocksU2]

I can't believe I'm holding out as well.
