Sample clips from Alive, from Amazon.de Options

[FishOutaWater]

I love Ed's voice. And I am one of the few people who really loves SFBM. I still enjoy listening to it. I find it very uplifting. But honestly, after my first listen to these clips, I am really disappointed. I really like Grace and I thought that it showed a lot of potential for this album. But after listening to these clips, I really regret pre-ordering the album. Especially because that means that I supported Ed and encouraged this nonsense. I will withhold a full judgment until I get to listen to the album a few times, and I hope it appeals to me more like SFBM, but these clips left me horrified. They sound like terrible songs.

So the one song that you actually heard in full, you really like. I say maybe you should give the album a chance before passing judgement.

I agree, listen to the whole thing. That way you can pass judgement with having to hear people say "well you need to listen to the whole thing!".

It does bother me when people rip an album without paying for it. It just basically rips off an artist.

Sort of like how the artist rips off his friends?

Don't worry yourself over it, I got no enjoyment out of it, and had I paid for it then I would have been the one being ripped off. If it makes you feel any better it certainly won't be getting played anymore.

ED RIPHOFFER KOWALCZYK and NICK THE GOPHER

Self-justification never works.

It aint justifying it to myself, I'm trying to make Nicholas feel better about it. I downloaded it for free and I don't have to feel guilty about it cos ... I don't.

and perhaps you should READ the whole post before posting?

That's some real solid reasoning.

[Pokey]

That's some real solid reasoning.

I'm not trying to reason, lol you just don't get it.
I downloaded it for free because I don't think it's worth paying for, I won't be listening to it any more because I just don't like it. If I ended up really liking it I'd probably buy it or if I somewhat liked it I'd probably just not delete it and I'm sure Ed will somehow survive by not getting some more money from me.
I'll probably download the TGF album if it leaks early too. If I really like it then I'll buy it, I got a feeling based on what I've heard that I will really like it. I ain't trying to hide anything.

Although TGF might be different because I'll be in America when it's released so I could make it my first album bought in the US.

I downloaded for this reason as well. Guys, if we pay for this album it will be enabling Ed. He needs to learn that you have to be true to yourself and to your fans. I'm not paying for it because the more money he gets from this shit the more likely he is to continue down this route. If he fails utterly he might just apologize to the rest of the band and come back for a reunion album at some point.

Due to the random PMs of a certain board member, I'm sure about 5 of you are downloading it right now.

Sounds like a plan to me. Only I already bought it of course. With my money. That I didn't steal.

Well, I was going to download it for free, but after reading this, I'll be paying.
