Pfff not just him, I have always wondered why KoL have to take so much shit from critics and people...

I read three lines of that 'review' couldn't be bothered with the rest. I have also wondered a lot about this double standard that people have with KOL. It's ok for Oasis to cancel a tour years ago because Liam wanted to go 'house hunting' (read : I can't stand my brother any more). I don't remember hearing much fuss about that at the time. But if Kol cancel a tour for genuine reasons, suddenly they become 'unprofessional' 'wussies' and other kind names. It became cool to hate on KOL and I really can't point out why.
On another side I love love love those new songs and the Robyn cover is so good. Family Tree has me seriously moving on my chair, It makes me want to dance on a bar, the choreography is very clear in my head ha ha. Caleb sings better than before. I can't wait for the new album.

I live in Holland; we usually get releases that are set for Mon/Tue in UK/US on the Friday or Saturday before already. Same goes for most countries in Europe, as far as I'm aware. Helene, I totally agree with you about Family Tree. It's such a tune! If the band can't be convinced to release Dancing On My Own as a single, I honestly think Family Tree should be the next single. I mean, Wait For Me is being played on the radio quite a bit and I accidentally caught the chart on the radio yesterday, and it was actually a new entry, but I don't think it's actually a proper single? As for why people are always hating on the band, here's a couple reasons I've heard/read over the years: at first cos they had 'instant fame' (i.e. didn't have to play dive bars for years before they were signed), the band being too secretive, then came hate from Americans who liked them before OBTN cos they didn't play the States enough (I guess this is still a problem to people outside Europe, mind), OBTN & CAS being too soft/radio-friendly/easy, the canceling for 'silly' reasons, having too much money/being too privileged. I could go on, but I think these are enough 'reasons' to hate the band.

Yeah I know about those reasons and it seems like they are aware too now and have humbled a bit so that's good but still no reason for critics to hate for just for hating. You can call OBTN and CAS radio friendly but damn these guys are great musicians and have great chemistry in the studio!!

No, so far Erin's find with the 2 new songs that is all there is PERIOD on the interweb. I've looked under every rock and NUTHIN! I am checking a few sites daily though. I have a feeling that KOL have finally figured out how to protect themselves. Hey, power to them. I am just really excited because this week GTA 5 comes out and then next week KOL and the Nirvana 20th anniversary of In Utero. It just kinda feels like xmas all of a sudden.

They have done well this time goddamit. CAS was leaked weeks before. I think if it was leaked now I would hold out!

The way bands work these days is that they usually start streaming the album (usually through iTunes) the week before the release and then it definitely leaks. Every single album I have anticipated this year has worked this way. So with that I bet the album is streamed starting tomorrow and it will leak.

I sure hope that's what happens! I would love to be able to wait until next Tuesday but I just can't wait anymore to hear it. I've been looking online about ten times a day on every site for the past four months. If I download one more "read me first" or "must complete survey" I might lose my mind!

Never, ever download that kind of stuff. Those sites are a scam.

If it's being streamed (legally) you can't really call it a 'leak' anymore, can you? Technically, a leak is something that's being put online before the release date without permission. Of course, if an album surfaces on the downloading platforms after the legal streaming, it's still considered illegal in most countries, but technically it's not a leak anymore.
I'm actually more disappointed that there aren't any interviews or other videos leading up to the release, than the album not leaking.

I agree Erin. I really enjoyed what they did with OBTN and CAS leading up to the release. The home videos were particularly genius. Also, on the leak after the stream, I guess it isn't technically a leak but there would be files available to download.
I have to be honest, I am just an impatient person. If it is available before it is officially released, I will likely grab it. I already have it preordered so I am buying it anyway. I just don't like waiting.

Thanks. Just from the snippets alone it sounds more musically interesting than CAS. Can't wait to hear the full songs.
