Originally posted by germcevoyI really am all for not hearing a thing until I buy the physical CD and rush home with it or put it on in the car. It seems impossible though with bands streaming albums on websites (U2 streamed the whole Bomb album on U2.com at least a week before release), missing CD's, hacks, leaks and what not. I hope U2 can keep things under wraps, hit us with a great single and video with 2 good b-sides then straight in with the album and tour details. It's gonna be great.
You'd think they'd have something up their sleeves though. U2 have been more and more tech-savvy with each album. They'll have something planned involving the net with their launch. I agree, I want to walk into a shop and physically buy the CD over the counter without listening to snippets and exclusive sneak peaks flying at me. I hope that's not too hard to ask.
