Well there's obviously some legal issues at stake over this otherwise why would we be asked to sign waivers not to publicly disclose them? Maybe the track listing is still not finalised?

<font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That may well be but I still say that all of this ranting is misplaced. Ppl are carrying on like a tragedy of terrible proportions has occured instead of what is a very minor misdemeanour. I just wish that ppl would get things into perspective and stop worrying or getting angry about such trivial matters.Quote:

Whoa.... did I stop everyone dead when I posted the waiver? lol It suddenly got quiet.
I think people are being emensely over-protective; and I get that. I was being that way too.
But what upsets me is not that someone wrote an article... which, btw, I think is a really great article; it is the way some people have reacted towards it and in particular the author. It makes me very sad [img]frown.gif[/img] It's interesting, human nature-wise, to observe just how easy it is for people to be mean to someone they don't know and may never know. I don't mean this about fans, I mean people in general; this just brings up a solid example for me. And honestly... this fanbase has been notably bad about mistreating people and gossiping. <--- that would be the reason that I pulled back some time ago and said to myself "No more of this! I want to have a fun experience, not am experience that makes me miserable and makes me act like a spoilt scorned teenager".
*thinks that that place has a particularly nasty vibe about it and that a great deal (not all) of the ppl that frequent it can be extremely cruel & vicious* [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]

Speaking of human-nature.......
It shouldn't be surprising that someone leaked the information. Excited and dedicted fans were handed something that everyone in the fan base has been waiting for, then consider the sessions about how to promote and the resulting excitment from that. It's only human nature that the excitement and desire share that excitment got the better of them.
In my opinion, leaks were to be expected. I'm only suprised that it has been this limited. After all, these are fans some of which are fairly young. They are not media and marketing professionals who is expected to show more restraint.
Well, I'd say that a public hanging would be appropriate. Oh wait, they already did that.

I do kind of wonder what all the secrecy is all about, I admit I haven't read the waiver post yet so may be wrong in what I am about to say, but if DH wants people to buy & enjoy his new music surely the more people that hear about it the better, someone may read that review & like what they read of the lyrics & become a fan of his music that way. Are other imminent releases this secretive? ( are Listening parties common or rare events?) As for the article itself, The one I read, via google was well written, informative and quoted about 3 sentences fron lyrics and DH responses to questions. no massive secrets given away, the world didn't stop turning after I read it. perspective is whats needed over there.
I could be hung, drawn and quartered for this but here goes
imo there is a clique (sp??) on this board and the DH board and of course this is bound to happen - people get to know each other and therefore tend to agree with those they know
when I first dared to post on the f/c board I was extremely naive to the 'politics' of posting and got myself into real deep water when I dared to post against someone in a clique - this resulted in a pm slanging match which was regrettable and completely unnecessary - the thing that upset me the most was that the person I was arguing with said that she had spoken to a friend and they had said I wasn't worth explaining things to - erhhhh - how would they know??
It does worry me that people get so annoyed with each other - but sometimes you can't help getting hot headed. Debate is healthy but it's difficult to have a real debate with such a vastly different collection of people.
OK - I've gone on enough [img]smile.gif[/img]
Gilly thanks for your honesty. I sincerely hope that ppl here feel comfortable sharing their opinions without fear of being jumped on by others with differing ones. The ppl here can respect others opinions and a healthy discussion can occur.
I've been a member of the f/c forum since the beginning and I rarely go there anymore...what can I say I find it very frustrating and imo it never used to be like that.

<font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">i am not surprised about the leak either. and i don't think it was meant with any [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] intent. just to let fans , and maybe future fans in on the album.Quote:
