It had to happen. The entire Working on a Dream album has now leaked and has spread like a California hill fire among the hardcore fan community. Reactions to it are very mixed, to put it mildly. Probably even more so than usual. Only "Outlaw Pete" and "The Wrestler" are somewhat universally praised. The rest have divided the fans in two fractions: those who think it's the worst garbage since Human Touch and those who praise the new direction (and it really is a new direction) as the best thing since [insert title of your favorite album]. I'll withhold the official Greasy Lake opinion until it's been officially released, but I can say that I "ain't hatin' it".

So, how did I get hold of it? a lot of you may ask. Well, all I know is that it was in my inbox when I turned on my computer this morning. I honestly don't know how to find it online. It was on YouTube earlier, but has probably been removed from there already. Even if I did know how to get it, I simply could not share that information on a public website. To be honest, I would personally prefer if these leaks didn't happen. It takes something away from the official release day and everything leading up to it. But when it's sitting there staring at you in your inbox, it takes more will-power than I can muster to resist sneak-peeking. I'm sure most of you can relate.
