Fix You vs All I Have Left Is You

[Mechagodzilla2]

No, I really won't. I bought Conspiracy and Splinter when they came out, and they were cool to listen to. When RAFRAG debuted on Imeem I listened to it there, and the feeling was exactly the same - awesome. This time was no different. I already pre-ordered the album too, so I don't see what you find so "sneaky" about listening to a stream authorized by the band.

And along the way I listened to every song as soon as it became available online, whether streamed by the band in full quality or shitty youtube versions of live tracks. Neither of these end up online by accident. When the band plays a new track live, they know full well it will end up on youtube. They've said so in interviews that they know they're debuting tracks "to the world" when they play them live for the first time.

If the appeal for you is some sort of smug, self-denial thing, then do your own thing. But it doesn't make you more of "a fan," and it certainly doesn't give you any reason to pass judgment on anyone else on the boards for failing to live up to some ill-reasoned ethical code for listening to music.

You will, wait and see.
How about we talk about what this thread was meant for rather than argue like a bunch of trolls.

Fix You is fine but AIHLIY is really good I love that track, I wouldnt skip Fix You before but I wouldnt go to it to listen to like with AIHLIY.

Abstinence-only album listening doesn't work.

This is a humorous undeniable fact.

You'll still regret it once you listen to the new album and have no surprise of what it sounds like. Once it comes time for the next album (if there's one) you'll become a non listener. And no, if some users live in a place where the album hasn't been released yet, then they shouldn't talk about it.

The only Offspring album I ever bought without hearing ANY of the songs first was Ignition. I love that album, but I also love all the ones that I heard a few songs on first, and ones like Splinter, RAFRAG, and DGB in which I heard all the songs on them before buying them. There really is no difference between listening to the album on June 19, or June 26.

Completely agreed. I don't see how the date when you listen to an album makes an impact on how much you like or dislike it. It's something that should make no difference at all.

Voted 4 All I Have Left Is You. The song itself has a natural/emotional feeling of a strong bond between The 2 lovers in a relationship.
