Default New Album: Buy it or Burn it?

It was recently insinuated by a certain Netphorian that the only 2 people who would actually buy the album would be Davin and I, and that everyone else would just burn it off the internet.

Therefore, I would like to wholeheartedly state that in fact, yes, I will buy the new album instead of ripping it. You were right!

In my opinion anyone who calls themselves a true Pumpkins fan should support the band by buying the album and not bitch out by getting it the free and easy way.

And, come to think of it, this reminds me a lot of politics. People say "vote or die" or "rock the vote," and then there are others that will say "my vote doesn't count." So which way should you go? If there are 50 million voters voting for a US president and you are one of the 50 mill, then your vote probably doesn't count. Album sales, on the other hand, are much closer to a number that could be impacted by everyone being faithfull to the band and buying their product.

Support the band! Buy the album! Make Billy proud!

The only real excuse would be lack of $. However, if the album is $20 and there are approximately 100 days to the albums release, then that means you only need to save 20 cents a day to be one of the good guys!

I think the reaction of fans and the press to the actual quality of the music itself will greatly affect whether a lot of the cynics here will buy it or not. As will their first impressions on downloading it no doubt.

If it leaks I can't see myself holding off, but I'm certain I will buy it.

the future embrace was leak proof but it leaked anyway. not months in advance though, only two or three weeks before its release.

I'll buy it, but depending on how much of an abomination SP2 turns out to be I may have to ritualistically burn the album.

it depends on what you mean by "burn it"? if you mean throw a whole bunch of the cds in a pile and set fire to them tipper gore style then yes, i will be burning zeitgeist.

I'm going to give it a chance and wait until the release, then buy it. If I hate it, I hate it. It's only $15. There isn't a lot of Billy material than can suck so hard that it makes me wish I didn't spend a measley $15. If I love it, I love it... and, I'll have a nice liner booklet and case to go along with it.

Yes in London TPQ stated that Billy himself had leaked it. Also that there is 'no hope in hell' it will leak before release. Somehow I doubt this..

Yeah, like you didn't imply that Davin and I are possibly overly devoted fans and would surely buy it as opposed to ripping it off? Drrrr, come on. Don't play stupid, even though it is becoming of you.
