Thats a pretty good idea actually. It isn't gonna dent the charts anyway releasing it now so they might as well get as many people to hear it as possible for free so they get tempted to buy the album.

I don't get it - I guess they just want it out there and heard correctly?? They want buzz and they're willing to sacrifice the pennies they'd make (literally pennies from each single) off of the first day sale for it?

Brilliant move by the band and management. Buzz buzz buzz. That's the only way to make a dent these days. Just like all the apps that go free for one day; that generates buzz and more sales after the free sale is over.
Bravo guys. I have been critical of your promotion and strategies for the past 15 years, but it seems like you are poised to knock this one out of the park.

Don't get me wrong - it's really cool, I'm just surprised since they've worked so hard to keep this under wraps until the release date. Their facebook said something about how this is an early Christmas present from the band - and hey, that's pretty cool. I hate to say it, but the reality is that they might not be losing a horrible amount of money on the first day of sales in order to create a little buzz....regardless, I will download my copy and be on my merry little way!
