I'm going to wait till it comes out to hear it. The people who have said there's something special about waiting for an album are right, especially when it's one of your favourite bands. You know when you go to the music store, pick the album up, gawk at the sleeve on the way home.... open the cd player, throw it in, watch it spin and hear the music for the first time. I just sit back and take it in..... I still remember exactly what I was doing when I heard Murray St. and Sonic Nurse for the first time. Pretty sad.
I dont have a big issue with downloading music though, if I download something I really dig, I'll buy it anyway. The one thing I'll never understand is people buying MP3's. They're just buying some random binary bits... nothing can equal having an actual cd in your hands.
