it depends.. if it leaked and people were complaining about it i might have to check it out before i buy it.. but if people are giving good reviews ill wait and buy it to hear it.
No...
I ruined the DAMNATION experience when I heard the entire album before I bought it. It was different with DELIVERANCE, when I got it the first day. Nothing beats listening to a brand new CD you just purchased...

Remember
I said I wouldn't for Damnation, but I eventually gave up, and I think it did ruin it a bit.
So this time I'll try to wait, though I bet people will be talking about it on the forums, which will make it 100x harder to wait.

Well, most of us did it with Deliverance 
, but that was with the old crew. It was an amazing night actually... all of us on the hub discussing immediately how much we liked/disliked parts of it. Almost like a social listening experience.
But to answer, I will, and if it's good I will also buy it, as always.

No way.
I had the choice with Deliverance and Damnation, but opted out.
For some reason, there's just no chance that I would listen to it early....
*shrugs*
There's nothing quite like sitting alone, opening the new CD, taking out the booklet, and then hitting the play button. I just would never ruin that by listening to it early....
That's just my opinion though....I'm sure we each appreciate a new album in our own way...like, I'm sure it's more exciting/fulfilling for some to download it early, and revel in the musical bliss.....but it's just not for me.
Ahh well, here's waiting!

i dont understand it when people say downloading it early 'ruins it' - its the same music coming out the same speakers!
but i will probably get it early. but i will still buy it of course...

No. I get leaked albums of new bands I havent heard or just sort of like, with Opeth there's no doubt I'll like it, so I'll just wait for the final product.
Well,
i probably load 1 or 2 songs then i'll wait till the album come out, cause i like
to have new songs to listen to!

Sound-wise, the quality isn't anywhere near cd quality, Chris. Plus like Katabasis said, having the booklet in your hand, being able to see the cover and all adds to it.

If it's leaked, i'll maybe listen to one or two tracks to make sure i'm gonna love it as usual, and then i'll do my best to restrain myself until it's released.

No. I usually only listen to one track to get a feel for the album. But dling an entire album isnt my thing. Plus everyone usually complains about an album before they even heard it. They listen to one song they dont like and they run the album down. Then they listen to the entire album and there like. "OH i changed my mind this is good" ie. New In flames
