New Madness Album Leaked to Internet
The new Madness album, “The Liberty of Norton Folgate,” is not scheduled for release until June of this year. However, the album can be downloaded via bittorrent using leading tracker sites. These days, it is not uncommon to see new albums available for download via bittorrent, usenet, and peer-to-peer networks weeks or days ahead of the targeted release date. The opportunities for leakage are ripe; from album reviewers, employees at the pressing plant, etc. Seeing an album available several months in advance, however, is rather unusual, as chances are pre-release copies have probably not been distributed, or at least not distributed in large numbers.
I’ve had a chance to preview some of the tracks, and so far I’d say the standouts are the poppy-sounding and somewhat anthemic “We Are London” and the classic-sounding “Forever Young.”
