Title: Downloading Harmonium
Post by: bumblebee429 on July 06, 2004, 05:10:45 pm
Hey,

I was just wondering whether you all will be downloading Harmonium? Chances are it'll be on the net before the CD release.

I can remember with other albums I have really looked forward to, and they have surfaced on the net a week or two before the release. I downloaded most of the songs, but it made getting the album not as special, because I knew most of the songs.

Anyway, just wondering what you guys think!

NO WAY am I downloading the album!! I'm totally against that, and so is Vanessa, so this is my way of respecting her.

I'm not going to be downloading it this time.  I didn't have enough money to buy the single last time, and barely enough to buy the album.  I would love to start a sponsorship deal where people who can't afford the album can get it, and people who can buy albums will buy them for people.  Like one person to one person.  But that is very questionable.

Some of the international peeps who can't get it in their country is also another idea.

I will download it, if ot gets on the net before the CD is released.  I don't buy into any of that "support your fave artist" crap.

But I AM also going to buy the actual album, along with the CD single, if it's available in the US.

I made a big mistake in downloading Hotel Paper (the whole album) and when i got the cd a month later, it was nothing much special!!

I download a lot of albums just to check if they are worth buying. I'm thinking I can probably trust this one to just about make the grade....
So no I won't download it.

I download songs, but I pay for them, so its legal.  But I am going to buy Nessa's album so I can get the case and stuff.  That's the only downside to downloading songs.

Hmmm, I guess I'll be downloading it while my copy is gonna be on its way from the US.
It usually takes 10 days for my orders to get here, I won't wait that long after the release! haha

That's the album I downloaded!! Yeh, I downloaded all the songs, but when I finally had the CD in my hands I was like "Hmm... yeh... I've heard it all" so it wasn't special at all! But I've learnt my lesson this time and will wait for Harmonium.

I'll buy the album regardless of if I download it or not...I'll be supporting V all I can. I don't know now if I will try to get a leak or not, I might just download the first song for fun...but we'll see. I can't wait!

nope.
remember how good i was at not downloading "afterglow" because i wanted to save something for the new album?

half the fun of the new album is to run to your car and put it in the cd player after you just bought it, it sucks and theres no excitement if you download it and know all the songs before you get the cd.

True.

But I'm weak. So yes I'll probably end up downloading it :? (Edit: then buy it of course)

I guess I'll have to download it if I ever want to hear it. I don't like the idea of downloading whole albums, I never really have and most of the time I'm against it but there isn't much choice here. It's either that or no Harmonium

Can't you order it online and get it shipped out there? Or will that cost extortionate amounts?

I can. Not allowed though  :?  I will probably end up doing it through one of my friends, but I'm always broke lol so who knows when that'll be. If not, I could just have a weekend trip to the UK and buy it there hehe :wink:

I too am weak. But the way I figure it, as long as you intend to buy the album anyway, if you hear it before you buy it, there is still the excitement of hearing the album for the first time. Plus with V's CD there will be the DVD too to be excited about, also.

i won't download it, i don't think. i downloaded Folkore (Nelly Furtado's 2nd album) when it was leaked and when it came time to buy it, i was just as maaaaaaaaaaaajorly extremly extremly excited and anxious to get it as i would've been if i ddin't download it..but i stil don't think i'm gonna download Harmonium when it comes out..

if its on itunes, i might get "white houses" cos im gonna hear it on the radio anyway, but the rest of the album, im gonna wait till it comes out, cos then its no fun

we didnt wait 2 years to download something, we waited 2 years for an awesome album in whole

I'm definitely going to DL it but I also intend to buy it the first day of the release. I'm not going to share the download though.

this is true.

i can't say what i'll do until it comes out, but i can say that i'm definitely going to buy it whether it's available for download before it comes out in stores or not

If tracks pop up before the release, then I'll download them, but I definately intend to buy it. I ONLY download music that I am new to. Anything I really like, I always buy - I mean it aint quite the same when you haven't got the real thing, is it?

Post by: Will on August 14, 2004, 12:10:18 pm
It's such BS that the album is finished but they have to delay selling it. I'm downloading the leaks the second they come out. Of course, I'm gonna buy the album when it comes out. It's only the right thing to do. Also, the DVD will be cool.

To the record companies: If you don't want me d/ling leaks, release the album so I can buy it! I've already waited 2+ friggin years. Don't keep me waiting anymore!
