Roadrunner about Ghost Reveries

I'll do it like with wvery new album of my fav bands; getting everything leaked as soon as possible and buying the original album at the release date.
 
If the quality is at least 192kb mp3 then I'll download the whole thing, burn it to CD and blast it out of the monitors or headphones. If the album turns out to be good, I'll buy the CD. This is pretty much the process for every album for me.
 
I think the main reason why I'll wait for it to be officially released is for sentimental reasons, as well as that little bit of morality. It's hard to explain, but for some reason it jsut doens't seem 'right' listening to it before it's supposed to come out. I can do it for any other band, but because they're my favourite band, something makes it 'different'. :erk:

...:cry:

And, everytime i burn a cd or listen to mp3, there's always a reeaallyyy tiny but very noticeable gap between tracks. It sorta ruins some songs for me.

*Guitar World*

so, you're new album, deliverance, is going to be released soon. Followed by damnation, a mellow album, a few months later. are you excited about the new albums?

*mike*

uhh, not really...i'm pretty dissapointed, i think our fans are better off buying more of our old stuff.

Same with me, but since this is Opeth we're talking about, there's no doubt that I will end up buying the album very soon after it's released.

Oh, and anything below 192kbps is nasty. Got that, Trey? You cheap bastard. :Smug:
 
I will wait for the release date.

its awsome the first time you liten to a cd after waiting for months after its been leaked.

case in point - i waited 4 days after the release of annihilation of the wicked by nile until i heard it. God damn shipping from relapse was gay. But when i put it on it was all worth it
 
Protip: if you rip to --alt-preset standard (which all good scene groups do nowadays) there's no discernible difference in sound quality between CD and MP3.

nah. i've heard plenty of CDs in my day. the difference just isn't that significant, sry
Buy a standalone amp + CD player and a pair of good bookshelves then tell me the difference isn't significant and I'll lend you my ears for a week.

it's even more awesome downloading a freshly leaked album and listening to it, knowing you're among the first people in the world to experience it :Spin:

It would be pretty dodgy if the mod of a bands forum didnt buy thier albums.
