If the album gets leaked...

[Sahara]

...will you listen to it?

In one of the threads, a Ledgie mentioned that, as Stevie's new album gets passed around to more people in the industry, it will just take one assistant to swipe the tracks and post them online. If they did become available before the release date, would you listen to them or wait for the official launch?

Edited to add: The point here isn't downloading music without paying for it or the virtues of MP3s versus CDs. It's more a question of waiting for the real thing or not!

I'd like to say no... because I've ruined several albums for myself this way. But alas, I do not have good self control . It's been ten loooooooong years dammit!!

I'm seriously going to try to be good if this happens though, and not listen. I just don't have much faith in myself!

I don't have very much faith in my willpower either. If a link came up that said "Stevie Nicks (insert new album name here)" with a button that said LISTEN NOW, you better believe I'd click on that button...I'd click it HARD!

...and of course I will also go out and buy three copies when it hits the shelves...

Good point!

[CADreaming]

Would listen but would definitely buy it and maybe multiple copies.

[mitzo]

Of course I'd listen to a leak. Want the music and want it now.

[bluefox4000]

No.......Cause i'm scared of more craptastic Stevie...just being honest. I'm leaning towards not even BUYING.

Considering that every twittering douchebag in Hollywood seems to have heard this album, it is not a matter of "if" but "when" this album leaks. It's time to set a firm release date and give it a title. If it leaks prematurely and the success of the album is undermined, we have only Stevie's inept handlers to blame.

Which is why i'm hoping Stevie uses her appearance on Ellen to her advantage by doing just that. I'm sure we'll get at least a title, if not an exact release date.

Would I listen to leaked tracks?

If I thought it would actually work, I'd hire a cabal of mediums and psychics to contact/channel my future self to see what I thought of the CD.

[daniellaaarisen]

Yes, but as others said, I'd also buy a ton of copies.

[mylittledemon]

of course I will listen! But I'll still buy the CD.

[Josh2003]

I will likely listen to a track or two...but considering it's been TEN YEARS since we got anything new, I'm really looking forward to buying the CD and listening to it all in its entirety for the first time.

hello darling!

i voted yes ... because well i wouldnt be able to help myself
HOWEVER, i do not think Stevie should be tossing it around out there like a frisbee
what happened to maintaining her aura of mystery
of course **** is gonna get leaked if everyone and their mother has already had a "preview"
