Listen to the entire album legally

Thank you Ricardo, but I can do this: I can wait! Just a few more weeks!!

I know you can download the album everywhere, but it's still not legal, is it? I find it unbelievable they put all the complete songs on streaming... I wouldn't ever link this page to anyone who isn't a true New Order fan... Previewing 2 or 3 tracks is alright, but many people, after hearing all the tracks here, could just think "Alright then, why buy the album now?" unless they fall totally in love with the record... a lot of record sales are made of people buying albums because they like two or three songs and wanna check the rest... sometimes they don't like the most of the other songs, but at least the record is already sold! ;)

I diagree, I have downloaded the entire thing but will still buy it when it comes out.

In fact the whole downloading thing is quite interesting. I often download stuff and if I like it I'll buy it to show support.

Most of my friends who download do the same.

I consider that if I downloaded all of Robbie Williams records, the record company have lost nothing as there was no way I was ever going to go out and buy them. By letting me download them they actually get a chance at me buying one or two CD's that I might like.

[Caveat] I do not like Robbie Wiliams :D

FACT:

Downloaders generally can't be arsed to buy the real thing when it finally emerges.

FICTION:

Streaming is a good idea.

this is the first im hearing of any of the album, im at "hey now what you doing" and is it me or does it sound like "the Church", i cant remeber the song but its on starfish.

For those (like CuanaD) who want to listen to the album legally, just point your web browser to the MTV Brazil website at http://www2.mtv.terra.com.br/exclusivos/mostrar.php?id=74

All eleven tracks, all of them complete.

Thank you Ricardo!

Good point Mick, there will be people who listen to this MTV stream & decide not to buy the album (I wont be one of those!).  NO fans will buy the record anyway.

I wonder how many people would otherwise make this their FIRST No purchase?

(Not sure I'm making sense here yet - I'll fill in the blanks later, when I have an opinion)

Yes.  It's somewhat reminiscent of "North, South, East and West" off Starfish.  That's not a bad thing and I'm certain it's totally coincidental.

Reptile is amazing.
