Not only has the producer come forward denouncing the leaked tracks...so has their lead guitarist:
"So it turns out the leaked music is a stolen copy of early, unmixed edits and roughs - so we're kind of pissed off about it, to be honest.
I see it like this (this is just me): there's napster-style file sharing of released music, then there's early internet distribution of what we at least consider to be a finished body of work. Then there's this - work we've not finished, being released in this sloppy way, ten weeks before the real version is even available. It doesn't even exist as a record yet.....
"So yes, we're annoyed - the songs are good on the recordings, which you can hear. But we worked on them after this point until we were happy with them.
"This is why we're pissed off - we didn't give up on them in February (which is what you're hearing) and it's just a shame that, to your ears, we did.
"So of course people will still download them and hear them, I can understand the temptation. It's not you lot I'm pissed off about, it's just the situation I guess. It's stolen work, fer fuck's sake.
"That's all. I thankew."
...and their bass player:
"I just wanted to back up what jonny said the other day. We're all unhappy with the wrong mixes from the wrong songs being stuck up on the net. It's like having your house done over half way through having it done up. All the attention is gratifying, but we want it when all our hard work's done and the best it can be. Until then, this is all just unhelpful noise. Wait until you see the final, real, finished album!!!!!"
So don't go all crazy saying what you don't like about this album until it comes out...silly rabbits. |
