Guns n' Roses julkistaa uuden levyn Myspacessa

Julkaistu: 17:26

helsingin sanomat


Yhdysvaltalaisen rockyhtyeen Guns n' Rosesin uusi levy Chinese Democracy on kuunneltavana torstaista alkaen verkkoyhteis? Myspacessa yhtyeen nimikkosivulla. Yhtye on hionut uutta levy??n vuosia.

Myspacen tiedotteen mukaan levy on kokonaisuudessaan kuultavana sunnuntaihin asti eli levyn viralliseen ilmestymisp?iv??n asti.

This have sense.

If you see, the widget on the space says "music" and when you press that button, the tracklist surface...

you mean we can listen it on thursday

That is what the article suggests, yes.

Most bands do this these days. It helps prevent leaking of the album because you can just listen for free rather than downloading.

a.

Did anyone else notice that on the music player at the botom of the page with all the new songs listed it says Catcher N' the Rye not IN the rye?

"Tomorrow the album will premiere at Guns N' Roses Myspace site".

Looks like they've added all the old albums to the Myspace player now and there's on playlist called Chinese Democracy which is currently empty....



/jarmo

Myspace contacted Will and I asking us to talk about it on our website (gnrfrance.net).

They say we'll be able to listen to the whole album on 20th November 2008, so tomorrow.

90sec? Just like better and chinese, i guess.

I cant wait to hear it!

 8)

They said we'll be able to hear Chinese Democracy on GNR official MySpace. They used the word "Pre-listening"... but they didn't say if the song would be full or not. I guess it'll be full... but I'm not sure. Well, we'll see tomorrow :)

Sigh. As always in the GNR world the article is gone with the wind.  ::)

Chinese Democracy, will be streaming in its entirety tonight worldwide 9PM PST (12AM EST). Visit their Myspace page for your chance to listen to the full album.

Well li know what i'll be doing at 11pm tonight!

im not really myspace friendly,
but wouldn't streaming the whole album on myspace hurt cd sales?

it will be midnight for me...

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=12994546&blogID=450359841


it's official!!!

nope... it will make those undecided about buying the disc in the first place buy it. after a few listens... i doubt anyone can deny the artistry.

Nah i don't think so lots of bands do things like this these days. NIN streamed there last one on their site for a whole week before it was released.

Now what do I do?  I just setup a listening party for the Friday night KRock stream with some friends?  Do I jump the gun and listen to it without them?  Oh the humanity!

I can say, Im not listening to the Myspace thing or the KRock thing

I want to hear it, after I buy the CD Sunday, on my Surround sound system.

Fuck a shitty quality  MySpace version for the first listen.

+1

I want my first experience to be the actual cd.

Ive waited 17 years for a new Guns CD.

It will not be ruined by impatience anymore than it already has.

I think it's great they're doing this, but I've come this far, I'm waiting for my CD.  8)

It's not a 5.1 surround mix for this CD anyhow...You can take a sample at least?

Tough choice huh dude?

ONe thing I can tell you is they engineered to album to sound great across all typed of platforms, from you awesome surround , to low budget, you stil ge the great impact, and Ive listened on quite a few platforms now since the listening party, they did a fantastic job, to make sure the music sounds great however you hear it!

I totally agree!  Sunday will be fucking glorious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, on my PC, only one of the speakers works, and my laptop speakers are crap. I'm waiting till Sunday, so I can blast the fuck out of the CD when I play it in my car.

Why butcher it into surround sound?  The album is stereo dude, that's the way it should be listened to.

And since I'm waiting till Sunday, I probably won't hang around here much after tonight. I don't want anyone spoiling my expectations for the songs I haven't heard yet (and the final versions of the ones I've been listening to for years).

I don't think I have good enough speakers set up to justify waiting... I will probably cave at some point.... but just for one listen.

I will be listening to myspace tonight. All the other stuff gnr has on there sounds great so I expect no different with Chinese Democracy. I also have a decent speaker set up for my computer because I watch lots of movies on it. Is the lack of good speakers on your computer the deciding factor in some of you not listening to it tonight? Becuz myspace's sound quality is pretty good, I listen to alot of music on there.  : ok: :smoking:

That's what I was meaning to say when I responded the first time.  I don't understand why D would want his hardware to artificially process a 5.1 upmix.  On mine, if I have a stereo source(ie. CD), I have the option of either listening in stereo or using Dolby Pro Logic, because the CD obviously doesn't contain the info necessary to properly divide the channels for a true 5.1 listen.  I can then either have the same sounds that come out of the 2 front speakers come out of the center and satellite speakers OR I can elect to have the system "approximate" a surround sound mix.

I can't hold my excitment. Still havent heard shackler's revenge, if my world, this i love, prostitute, sorry, scraped, or any of the more dated leaks finished yet besides better and chinese democracy. Its gonna be on fuckin my space tonight. I can listen to its finished product 3 days before release. Thats just so fuckin bad-ass. Those people that got their cd already are so lucky. I can't wait till tonight or till sunday. Fuck. This is unreal. I get to hold it in my hands on sunday but I get a taste of it tonight. Fuckin awesome.  : ok: :hihi: :smoking:

1.5 hours to go people!   ;D

Totally hear ya on that (no pun intended) ::)  I have pretty crappy speakers in my car (blasting too much compressed music) and I have roomates who are not as into GNR like me.  So I am listening tonight when they are not home.

My roomate also purchased some real nice speakers for the computer, so I am looking forward to this!

2 hrs and 27 minutes until Chinese Democracy begins in Newport Beach California!!!!!!!!!!! :beer:

1 hr and 27 minutes and counting bro! 9pm pacific time! Only about an hour and a half!  : ok: :smoking:

Just realized that! And thanks for the heads up.

What a crazy, crazy time!!!

So 1 hour from now?

Yep!

I'm really torn between listening to this on myspace in an hour or waiting for my CD/Vinyl.  :nervous:

^ consider it a preview mate and have a listen with us.

Shackler's on myspace rigth now.

Dude, don't make your first listen of CD a low quality myspace stream. Please for the love of god, no!

The Blues added now.

street of dreams too

It's already Thursday, for crying out loud...I need to scurry off and go to bed immediately...Must not indulge in compressed internet stream.

Yeah, you're right man. I think I'll try hold out.

At least make it interesting.... listen to the first 30 seconds of one of the songs they just put up... THEN see if you can hold out.   :P

So this isn't a one shot deal right?  The album will be on myspace after midnight tonight (10 minutes from now) for the forseeable future?

Weird that CD and Better still aren't the full song but the others they've posted are.

SCRAPED!!!

I think it'll be up until release, if I'm not mistaken.

I can only stream Better and Chinese Democracy at the moment.  :-\

you have to click on the album you want to hear.

I'm so glad to have tech savvy friends like you!

Thanks!

If ANYONE else is having trouble (I doubt it  :hihi:) just click on the album cover.

this i love.. wow so strong..

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WORTH THE WAIT! AXL IS THE FUCKING MAN!!!!!

Exactly what I'm listening to right now. Ok someone pinch me hahaha

Thank you Axl for such a masterpiece

This is really fun to be able to be listening to the new cd.  I was 11 when Use I and II came out and am now 28.  Very weird.  You can definitely hear the differences from the final versions compared to the leaks.  Much better. 

Chinese- Love it.  Love the intro.  Just a cool song.

Shackler's- Also, very cool. Has a NIN feel.  Love the chorus.

Better- Still is probably my fav.  Just really like the rythme of the song.  Very catchy.

Street of Dreams- Have always like it and like the changes

If the World- don't know.  Weird.  Don't know if I like it yet.

CITR -is cool cause I have heard the leaks but just really enjoy the new changes.

Scraped -is very diff.  didn't know if I like it right away but found myself getting into it at the end.

Riad -I don't know.  Just never has been my cup of tea.

Sorry- WTF?

IRS- Never been my fav but not bad.

Madagascar- Have always loved this song.

This I Love- Wow! My new fav.

Prostitute- Ok I guess.  Don't like the drum machine or whatever the beat is.

There is a lot more texture in the songs compared to previous versions. BB-Foot guitar added  and just better sound quality ( and it is the finished product!)

Have fun listening guys/girls.  I'm gonna hold out for NOW.  Gotta go to sleep before I break!

I should go to sleep. But I CANT! CD is streaming!

I have my computer hooked up to the surround sound system in my house.  Sitting in my leather chair, drinking some beers, and blasting CD.  Its been an extremely tough year, but life doesn't get much better than this.

Myspace Tom just put a shoutout to the streaming CD on his "status". That's a good way to get a couple million new fans!

There has never been an album quite like CD

You have to admire the sheer audacity of having songs as wide ranging Shackler's Revenge, If The World, and This I Love on the same album

The fact that the album comes together as such a strong final product with this much diversity is a great accomplishment

The sheer focus of will is staggering.

and it appear that it is the first time he changed status on myspace  ;D everyone in his comments seem to love the album

One of his favorite albums ever is AFD.  He's definitely a fan.

Gosh, it has been a long wait.  I remember sitting at the House of Blues for that first Vegas show in 2000, and then at the Joint the year after.  That was such a great show, such a great memory.  Then, only two years ago, for my batchelor party at the Joint again.  I can't believe I will have this CD on Sunday.  

Here are my initial thoughts on the songs.  This is all in comparison to other GNR songs.  When I say an OK song, I would still rather listen to this than the other stuff out these days.

CD - Good opening song.  Nowhere near the best song on the album, but still a good rock song.

Shacklers - Ok song.  Definitely not one of my favorites, but not a bad song either.

Better - Great song.  One of my favorites on the album.  Probably the best up-tempo song on the album.

Blues - Good song.  I feel like this song is so old since I have heard it so many times.  However, I think it is objectively a good song.  However, probably one of the weakest of the ballads on the album.

If the World - I like this song.  Definitely a different vibe, but I think it adds a different element to the album.

TWAT - I think this is my favorite song on the album right now.  This song is just great.  The guitar is just fantastic.

Catcher - I like it.  I think I will like more as I listen to it more.  I was expecting a little more for this song because it had so much hype over the years.

Scraped - Ok song.  

Riad - Again, I have heard this song so many times.  I like the album better than the live version.  Ok song.

Sorry - Wow, this song definitely has the Pink Floyd vibe.  I like it a lot.

IRS - One of the better up-tempo songs on the album, if not second behind Better.  

Madagascar - Great to hear the studio version.  Sounds great.  This is just a fantastic song.  It still sounds great even though it is eight years old to those of us that have attended the shows.

Still waiting to hear This I Love and Prostitute.  I'm listening from start to finish.

Catcher in the Rye, Better, If the World, and This I Love are hands down the best songs on this album.

I think you have to add TWAT to that list.

Wow posting multiple bulletins + updating his status is pretty huge promotion. This is definitely selling albums to a new generation.

I really like This I Love and Prostitute.  Both great songs.

I wanna hear someone listen to this i love then say his voice is gone with a straight face!

This cd is awesome I'd put it right up there with UYI, its no AFD but hey no album ever will be equal to that imo. Rhiad is still my least favorite, but street of dreams, madagascar, and better are instant classics in my mind. The rest are really good too I just love those 3 songs all of em in my top ten gnr songs ever. I cant wait for a tour!!!!

damn!! what a great album!! thanks GN'R, it makes you forget all the time we were waiting for this album, and all the upsets etc.

I'm glad to hear that the vox at the beginning of (the song formerly known as) The Blues have improved. 

WTF?  One of the strongest tracks imo.

I'm waiting until tomorrow to listen to the whole thing... but I did let the first 3 songs play since they've already been "released" (OK, and half of track 4).... and I already think this album is amazing.

Can you imagine what a tour will be like now that these songs are all fair game and people will recognize them?

this is literally killing me not listening to the myspace version...I don't know...I know I already went to the NYC listening event which was awesome but I am still waiting till sunday to listen to the album on a constant basis...I have waited all these years, and I kept thinking of the moment where I walk into the store to buy the record  so I can hear it...damn it I am still going to hold on till Sunday....(no telling how successful I will be at this, im sure I will cave by tomorrow night...)

It will be incredible to hear these live. I honestly hope they play them all.

after listening I'd say sorry is my favorite out of all the songs never heard before and maybe off the entire album.

Scraped, Rhiad not my cup of tea but may grow on me.

IRS was a standout as well with the changes made

CD, Better, TWAT were always among my favorites.

Street of Dreams, Madagascar, Catcher in the Rye have grown on me and will probably continue to do so

i have to listen to the others more thourougly including scraped and rhiad

Ok well I dont care I've waited long enough I was 7 when the last CD came out, I went to the listening party In NY and now listening on myspace and will be listening to Krock then listneing even more when i got the CD and vinyl this is my review

CD- Great opening song, kinda like jungle opened AFD, jsut great it sets the standard and says fuck you we're back

Shacklers-  Seems out of place on the album, kinda like a real wierd Nine Inch Nails song I dunno not very GNR

 Better- One of my favorite songs great, its a classic that will be a household well radiohold name

Street Of Dreams-  Reminds me of estranged but in its own right, its great classic verses and meaningfull lyrics

If the world-  I heard the demo and loved it "your the only one i have ever loved, that have ever loved me"wow  my favorite part of the finished CD i believe has got to be the faded out "la la di da la di da da da di da" sounds real cool

There was a Time-- Great opening lyrics "broken glass and cigerates"  again a classic in its own right.  This will be one of the songs they will be doing or should be doing live at all their shows.

Scraped--  Awsome, kinda like axl sayin this isnt about me its about US as a band its about GUNS N' ROSES "dont try and stop us now"

Riad N' Bedouins-- Never my favorite was always kinda iffy about it, im sure the more i listen to it the more i will like it, i must say it sounds ALOT better then the demo

Sorry-- GREAT GREAT GREAT so strong and powerfull with alot of meaning behind it

I.R.S.- this song has been played since around 04, good song, not much to really say about it.

Madagascar- Wow , the mixes sound unbeliveable and when axl comes in after it with "I wont be told anymore" its very uplifting.

This I love- Is one of my favorites again its such a strong strong song with soft words and music just WOW listen to this first

Prostitue- Great ending to a great CD

IT was worth the wait id rather wait 14 yrs for a great CD then get a shitty album just thrown together for money and just 2 get it out, he worked hard on this and it shows

I love it. My favorite track. I kinda get what Bach was saying about it. Turn that shit up loud during the chorus and it does have a doom metal feel to it. Only during the chorus though. Sounds like some Black Sabbath's stuff. Really does. Absolutely love it.

Also love Catcher in The Rye, Better, Street of Dreams, and Shackler's Revenge. Didn't like Scraped and Prostitute. This I love is good but a little wierd and There was a Time is ok but does get really good about the 3 minute mark. The rest is good. The album is great. Listened to the whole thing and loved it as a whole. Will try not to listen again till sunday but thats gonna be hard...well I stopped and just put on Sorry again.  :rofl:

Fuck Yeah. CHINESE DEMOCRACY IS HERE!! : ok: :smoking:

If they didn't want you to listen, they wouldn't have leaked posted it on Myspace.  I think of it as prepping for the BIG listen, at which time I'll explain to my buddies who are listening why it fucking owns all.

Scraped = New Myspace song.

Not that anyone cares.

I am so thankful that the good folks from GN'R and MySpace did this for the fans.  I was really disappointed from the sound quality from last nights listening party, but I listened to the whole album all the way and it totally made up for yesterday.

I know a lot of tracks are "growers" but man, the seed has been planted.

So now i've listened to Chinese Democracy. Wow, unreal.


After this initial listen to the album straight through, i'm kind of shocked at how emotionally draining it was. It's an unbelievable album, and everything i wanted if not necessarily what i expected. It is such a sad and heartbroken album. It is genius, but it doesn't hide how lonely and confusing genius can be. It comes straight at you. It doesn't lie or posture about anything, it punches you dead in the eye. It is an album that knows itself well, that knows the expectation and myth of itself. It is upon only one listen quite rightly then an impossible album. It's strange to hear it because you feel like you're missing it. There's sometimes more song than my brain can process, and some songs that alone, blaring off a radio in the background of my day, would probably stop me in my tracks, here in their context i can't respond to them yet because i'm spinning from the others. They do run together and form one larger than life feeling called Chinese Democracy. There are parts of some songs that feel like time has just tripped up on itself, and that is the emotional reaction i had to the album as a whole. I feel as if something inexplicable just happened that has never happened before and i'm in a silent state of shock. Chinese Democracy, the impossible album, exists.

awesome. and its a pic from their last tour and not an old one  : ok:

Pretty awesome. I decided to check out Street of Dreams first........sounds really weird, after all these years to hear a studio version and no "OK NEVERMIND!!!" admonishing in the begining :rofl:

Tempting...but I'm going to wait two more days.

I love the idea. It's great to have music available for everybody on myspace, but eventhough the temptation is there, I'm gonna wait till I buy the CD on Saturday.

This has been a hell of a journey for me and I'm not going to take a detour. There's just one possible destination - at least that's how I visualized it all these years - and nothing is going to get my mind off that. For me, this journey will finish on Saturday 22nd, not any sooner.

On sauurday, I'll embark myself in another journey...but that's another story.

I'm so corney these days  :hihi:

I haven't heard the songs (gettin' the album today), but I kept an eye on the total plays...

Just now, there were 115'730 (!!) plays from 10:30 to 10:57 (norwegian time)

That's not even half an hour!!!! Jesus!   :beer:

Listening to the album now.......

This is a great day to work at home.  :)

You picked a good day to do so. No firewalls to block you from listening.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

HAHA

WOW

Street of Dreams is back to being AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Better than RIR3

Axl went back to the amazing screams at the end and added some lyrics!

WOW!

The Blues use to be my favorite but somewhere between 02-06 it really lost its power mainly due to axl changing the outro screams

Well! FUCK, I am still tingling after hearing it.

So about 11 pm EST last night the songs started showing up.  I started listening in bed with the laptop beside me, and yep...4 songs in, the laptop battery died.  Instead of doing the logical thing and getting the power cable, I decided to go to bed. 

But I am working from home today, so I will be listeing to the mySpace release all day.  ALL DAY!!!  Yeah like i am going to get any work done.

In my opinion, listening to the album now, and hearing some of these songs for the first time on Myspace of all places, would kinda take away a bit of the magic that Sunday is going to bring.

I've waited so many years, I can wait another 3 days.

I'm waiting till tomorrow for a listening party with some friends.  If for some reason that doesn't happen, I don't know if I'll be able to resist.

Ahhh! This is Killing me! I get the album tomorrow! So i gotta waith that! I just want to sleep and wake up tomorrow! haha.. no i dont! Whats one more day, when i actually has dreamed about a new GnR record since 1994  : ok:

(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o26/cheapjonday/wtff.jpg)

so what the fuck is school of rock spain?

Oh no! Someone leaked the whole album on MySpace! It's at www.myspace.com/gunsnroses!  :drool:

It's an awesome listen. Can't wait for my CD copy!!!! I'll probably pick up the record version to. I don't have a record player, but it'd look badass hanging on my wall.

^^ it would be hilarious if GNR tries to sue GNR for leaking the album...

ok... I don't know what to do!! Shall I start listen or shall I wait till I have the album?

ahhhhhhh  :nervous:

lol

Just to let you guys know, Chinese Democracy is now featured on the main page of myspace. That'll kick up the promo into overdrive!

Guns N' Roses 'Chinese Democracy' Playback Swamped By 1 Million Listens

November 20, 2008

As it is finally released...

Guns N' Roses much anticipated studio album 'Chinese Democracy' has been released online.

The album, which has been fourteen years in the making, is streaming for free on the band's MySpace page.

Such is the demand for the album that the band's music player has already attracted nearly one million plays today alone.

http://www.gigwise.com/news/47669/Guns-N-Roses-Chinese-Democracy-Playback-Swamped-By-1-Million-Listens

I agree, but this album is to me, what drugs are to Steven Adler...I couldn't resist, and gave in...   :beer:

So, does this mean that Axl wins teh intranetz ?

damm i can't lisen to it.my computer is way to slow.i have to wait till it comes out i guess.

hmmm... how mouth-dropped must ex-gunners, naysayers, and critcs be right now. i'd like to see velvet squirtgun( i know it's revolver, i'm just schowcasing sarcasm) do that!!!!

FUCK all those bastards. CHINESE DEMOCRACY IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!! Hands down...

I certainly don't think this would surprise anyone but the hardest of Slash fans...this IS the most anticipated release of the decade!.  Lookout, Kanye...that light at the end of the tunnel, is a freight train coming your way.  :hihi:

This is something that's related to the Myspace Music service.

Apparently we see it because we're looking at the page outside of the USA.

It keeps going up!  :D

GUNS N' ROSES: 'Chinese Democracy' Streamed Nearly Two Million Times Today - Nov. 20, 2008

The new GUNS N' ROSES' album, "Chinese Democracy", has been streamed nearly two million times on the band's official MySpace page since it was first uploaded early this morning (Thursday, November 20). The stream will be available until the LP is released on Sunday, November 23.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=109323

Did anyone notice that when you Rest Your Cursor over the picture of the Album Cover in the Music Player it says that the Release Date is 10/10/2009? WTF?

Also Jarmo may want to update the article on the main page about the 1 million plays in less than a day - currently it's showing as over 39 million plays!!!

 :o

Yeah well the counter says Over 39 Million listens as of now...
 :o

Thats total plays. That isn't all of CD. Only todays numbers are CD since its only been up since 12am est.

Ahhh okay, thanks. Well don't I feel dumb!

I can play _ONLY_ 'Chinese Democracy' and 'Better'. Everything else is not clickable. :headscratch:

Are you trying to listen on the widget below about gnr?

I can't believe GNR are deleting comments on their bulletins defending them against the stupid haters but are letting the haters comments stay!

New My Space Record for GN'R!

http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/41217

 :o

 :beer:

Yippy-ki-ay

That's incredible!! Although only expected!

25 people per second.. that's absolutely insane.

 ;D

This should be in the news section! GN'R have a new world record to their name!!

I can't believe all mention of an actual article released by the band is being deleted here.

Nice one AdZ!

(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o26/cheapjonday/gnrmyspace.jpg)


NICE :smoking:

Awesome!  ;D


/jarmo

Damn

The streams are starting to fuck up

Overplay I guess.

I can't wait till tomorrow damn it!

I've been itching like crazy to log onto Myspace and listen to some of the songs. I tell myself that I'll just listen to some of the songs I've heard before, like "Madagascar" and "Street of Dreams," but I know if I get on that site, I won't be able to resist the temptation to also listen to "This I Love" and "Sorry" and every other song on the album. I really want tomorrow to be the first time I hear the album straight through, though. (Less than 24 hours to go now!)

How do you guys think that the ability to listen to the entire album on Myspace these last couple of days will affect album sales? Negatively or positively? I guess for people who were skeptical and have listened to the music and really like it, they'll now go out and buy it. But I think a lot of people would've probably went out and bought it just for curiosity's sake, wondering what it sounds like . . . But now that they've heard it, they may not buy it (at least right away).

Personally, though, I don't see how anyone could hear this album and not want to go buy it. I think these songs will have dug their way into people's brains over the last couple of days, and to continue listening to them, people will have to go and get the album.

Positively

The only albums streams fuck up are SHITTY ONES

Cause if an album sucks, u know it sucks and won't buy it.

Some people buy albums just to buy them, they CD sucks, u wasted your cash.


With streams, it eliminates the guess work.

So people will hear that CD is awesome and one of the greatest CDS ever made and they will be even more amped to buy it.

Cause  its like this.......... If the MySpace stream goes down like now, I am gonna be phening like a god damn crack head.

I MUST OWN THIS just cause I have to hear these songs over and over and over.

the stream will make skeptical people go buy it.

They flipped the fucking picture!  >:(

Wonder if anything will happen when the counter hits all zeros.

That's what I'm wondering... On the GNR site at least.

(http://i36.tinypic.com/2yyv4mg.png)

 :P

lol yeah but where's the fat lady, ice in hell, my flying car?

I can only play 30 second clips now.

The full album stream was a limited time offer, from the 20th-22nd

Bummer. Now I have to go out in this blizzard up here in Canada and get my physical copy.  :confused:  :nervous:

you can still listen to the album. just click on the album cover and all the songs will be there and you can still hear the whole thing

I've not been listening at myspace since getting the C.D. in my hands.  But are you really surprised?
If people can keep listening to a free stream, there's less chance they'll buy it.

Edit:  Well, there's your problem solved then.  Although I'm surprised if you can still listen to the whole thing on myspace.  Puzzling.  Doesn't seem like it makes good business sense.  But I know nothing about business.  hehehehe

I just bought 2 copies today. I just want to hear the tunes without getting my feet all cold and slushy. That's all.  :beer:

if you only listen on myspace, you don't hear the instruments as well and all the subtleties aswell in a proper stereo

It is convenient, I have it streaming in the background, I don't want to go out to my truck and get the CD out of the stereo.

Yeah, getting the real cd is always the better choice regardless of album.

I must be too young, because I feel CD's are obsolete. I bought Chi-Dem at Best Buy and have it in a cabinet still sealed with the sticker on it. MP3, iTunes, Direct Download, etc. are all more convenient. I can play Chi-Dem on my cell phone without having to carry around a bulky CD player.

I can still hear all the songs on myspace...kinda nice, b/c my cd is out in the car right now....  I also noticed that i can play just about every song ever released by guns on myspace.  anyone else see this?

@alfie bones:
cds are good for cars, and even to just toss into the dvd player on your PC.  You dont have to worry about downloading it, or even messing with a clunky piece of shit IPod while driving. Ya just have to click the radio button up or down.  I had an Ipod, and it fucking broke.  was a pain in my ass...
plus, if you must listen to music 24/7 with your mp3 player, you've probably got issues (or a really good job).  I used to think it was cool to see people walking with ipod bud headphones hanging from their ears. Now i just hope the fucker is paying attention while crossing the street so i dont get blood on my clothes.  swear to god, that back in college, a kid got hit by a train b/c he was listening to his ipod while walking across some tracks.
