The Crusade leaked. While this ultimately is a bad thing...it is also a good thing. Remember the boys couldn't wait for it to be released? Well...it leaked instead. To me...personally...and this is just me...its a respect issue at hand. I respect the boys enough to wait for the album to be released before I hear the new songs. If Trivium released the songs themselves...I'd listen to em...but the leak was not supposed to happen. A lot of people here have caught the leak and are listening ot the song. Great. Each one to his own. But me....Im waiting.
To me its a respect issue. I repect trivium and the hard work into this album to wait for the release date to hear the songs. As one who is in a band myself...thats what I would want from my fans. When our Cds came out...our fans were stoked. We didn't release any teasers or shit like that.
Anyway..my point is...to ME...its a respectful thing to do to wait for the album to be released before hearing the songs that the have not offically released. Just me though. Others have different views on this and thats great..we are human. Im not trying to berate or bash others here...I am simply stating my standing on it all.
