Was so on my way to bed until i saw this. is this legit?

I really, really hope not. Stevie has said over and over again that one of the reasons she is so adverse to technology and new forms of promotion is because things like this can happen. If the album has been leaked it will just confirm all her suspicions and may sour her on doing another album within the next few years!

I'm betting that's a clever marketing trap. It demands all of this personal, private info and it won't let you trick it with fake phone numbers, etc. I'm sure as heck not giving out that info to some faceless website!

Genius idea if it's a marketing move!
Louie - your signature pic is awesome (you knew I;d like it though didn't you?!)

It appears the album is indeed out there if you know where to look.

Does that mean you got it to work?

This might be true if even obscure critics in Ohio have copies to review..but it seems like you still might have to be a computer geek to find it.:shrug:

No, but I did a search and a ton of links came up. Most likely what is going on is that the album is shipping already and people who have the album (stock room people etc) are swiping a copy. OR if there are promo copies, those are being posted. I had the promo of TISL a month before the actual release.

This album has had a much much tighter lid on it than TISL or SYW .I had a promo copy of TISL by the second half of March 2001 with no industry connections at all.It is getting down to the wire here though.

I kind of expected that with this album. Gone are the days of press packets being sent out with a copy of the album and press kits. Also Stevie isn't out promoting it prior to it's release so for all intents and purposes no one has a copy. But the timing is right for the album to making an appearence. I expected a week or so before it's release it would pop up online.

i tried the link and when i went to download it, something popped up telling me i had to do something else first so i just exited off the page. i am at work and dont want a virus on my computer - ha!

I managed to download the "album", and it's packed in a password protected rar file. Does anyone know how to open the thing? I'll upload the file if anyone is willing to try to open it.

I don't think I would. It's either a virus or a red herring in my opinion, or else why make you jump through so many hoops to get it. I'm not convinced.

^The password protected rar file is a very common hoax. It's pretty safe to assume that any files asking for a password or a survey to be completed before access is a fake.

I found the same thing, but the site won't let me download the .rar file that contains the password unless I become a premium member or wait 30 minutes. :laugh:

What is in there, if not the album? Just an empty folder? It says it was uploaded on 2/20/11, which seems really early - you'd think if it had leaked that early, more people would have it/know about it.
