But it's not an achievement. I've mentioned before that since TBOS 6 years ago, I've only ever seen albums leak within 24 hours of official release. The one exception being the Tool album 2 years ago that leaked 5 days early.
No, it was 7, verified by Google search. That's besides the point though. In the 6 years since, I've only seen the last Tool album leak 5 days early. Anything else I've seen in 6 years has only been 1 day before release.
Said it before and I'll say it again, my money is on no leak until September 2nd. Even in 2015, let alone now, an album leaking 7 days early is very rare.
I'm in NY state and, as one example, Australia is 14 hours ahead of here. At the very latest, it will be available here then by 10am September 2nd for download.
Imagine how crazy it would have been if the album leaked in 2019? No album announcement, no advance singles, no advance reviews....just suddenly there would have been a new album to listen to.
Yup, I was saying the same last week. With very rare exception, for years now, new albums aren't online for download until 1 day before official release. Even in 2015 when TBOS leaked 7 days early, that was rare for the time. In the 6 years since, it's even more rare.
