The next Within Temptation album

ZOMS!! More samples *huggles*

In the middle of the night and sinead are on youtube i havnt listened but they are right infront of me to listen i must drag myself away from doing it! its the most hardest thing i've had to do in a while!

^ Say WHAT? ITMOTN is on YT? O jeez... *resists temptation*

But I gotta say, the sample of I Don't Wanna was beautiful

Now shot in the dark is on youtube! aaah i cant do it!

Ok breath i wont do it i will wait for the album :'(

[EDIT] Murder and iron are on also!

*sputters uncontrollably* Whoever is leaking, must plug that leak And fast. Before I cave.

So sorry for double post, but...

They leaked the album. I saw it on a download website. High quality, everything... I'm so disappointed that they leaked it, but it sounds amazing, from what I heard from the two other singles! But I refuse to download anything. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

I think the whole album is up on youtube i refuse to download it, i wish they would delete it now!

I know!! It makes me mad that somebody would do that. However, I did get tempted... and listened to Iron. It's such a great song!

If anyone's having guilty feelings about listening to Shot in the Dark, it's on the official site as well, so that one's okay.

Besides that, though, I refuse to listen to the leaked material. (To be fair, I did listen to the samples on Amazon, but no full songs.) Like Tay said, it was meant to be a surprise; people should respect that and keep it to themselves. They're really just ruining the fun by leaking the songs so close to the release date. Is there even any point in that? It's going to be available legitimately really soon, so why bother with this? Jeez.

Because some of us have no patience. I put it this way I'm a notorious WT collector anyway and I'm buying it. I support the band. Patience isn't a word in my vocabulary for those of you that know me so you know when it leaked I listened. Besides it leaked two days before my birthday come on people I considered it a birthday gift. I still have amazing respect for the band I always have and I always will but they know this stuff happens. They've been in the music industry for over ten years. I don't think they are going to sit and yell at us. The good thing I have to say in this is Within Temptation fans have ten times the respect of the fans of other bands because if something leaks some other bands fans won't even purchase they are like "Hey it leaked I don't have to buy it now." Trust me this happened last year when HIM's last cd came out and now their fanbase are afraid that because of Ville Valo's disappointment due to album sales that he just won't write any new material. I bought twelve copies of that cd...I promise they weren't all for me but that's how many came out of my pocket and I had downloaded it when it leaked because again I have no patience. So this has nothing to do with disrespect it's impatience. For those of you who are waiting my honest opinion is the album is incredible and you will not be disappointed. I have not turned it off since I got it. I flat out refuse to listen to anything else. From start to finish my ears are absolutely blown away. I think you will be too. I can't wait to buy it on March 29th.

I must confess I downloaded it as well.

Because, just like Leia, I was so excited, so anxious and so impacient to listen to it after all these months, following their news about TU and reading a dozen of articles and reviews about it. And even more, as I live in Brazil, there's the possibility that TU won't be released here - we, the fans, are sending emails to Sony Music Brazil, asking for it, but it's still uncertain.

The thing is that I just couldn't wait more for it.

But for downloading, don't get me wrong - I don't know about other people, but I know that I'll support the band by BUYING their stuff. I don't know how I'm going to do it, since I'll have to buy from Amazon.com and I don't have international credit card, I'll probably ask to my father or a friend for it.

But I WILL, I'm sure, even more because I loved so much all the songs included. And if it's possible, in the future I'm gonna get the comics and the LP as well. I'm way too fan of WT for only have a downloaded file in my computer.

As I said, WT stuff are pretty difficult to get here - I had to search a lot for The Black Symphony, simple DVD+CD, and had to pay 70 Brazilian Reais (about $140) for it since it was not made here - and I would pay it again, it was worth, but you get what I mean.

Please, don't hate me, LOL.

I know in some places it is hard to buy it. Believe me when I first became a fan it was so hard to get their things in the US. So I feel your pain. There are still some bands I like whose albums I cannot buy here. There are still some WT singles and things I cannot get my hands on but I'm still searching. Believe me if I find it and I don't have it I'm buying it.

I'll be checking with my local HMV stores on the 28th to see if they have it, if they do then I'm going to the city on the 29th to pick it up

Spotify has added 5 songs of the album (Faster, In The Middle of the Night, Where Is The Edge, A Demon's Fate and Shot in the Dark). So I can at least listen to a part of it already and it's completely legal

Hooray!! This will be one hell of a great album, I can just tell

Sinead music video will be great

^ Saw that the other day lets just say i cried she just looks so flawless in the sinead video i just cant believe how beautiful she is angels created such beauty on sharon

Eep!! *is excited and loves Sinead*

The clip of the Sinead video surprised me. I'll agree that Sharon looks awesome, but the dance/pop vibes coming from it had me going, "This is from a WT video?!"

It reminds me of In and Out of Love, actually.

I'm sure it'll be cool; it's just really surprising and different. But of course everything on The Unforgiving is like that, so I guess my point is kind of worn out.

^ I haven't seen the samples of the video yet, but I think it will be really cool! Sure, it won't be Mother Earth or Utopia (those videos pwn!), but still.
You know... if you think about it, WT has changed so, so, so much since Mother Earth. Whenever I listen to a song from ME, I think 'Is this the same band?' Then I slap myself and say yes, it is! And continuously enjoy the music

^ I meant the clip shown in that interview, actually, about three minutes in. Watch it if you haven't yet. It looks like it will be a really cool video.

WT does indeed change a lot from album to album. I consistently love everything they release, though, so it's all good. I just get that "is this the same band?" feeling you described every so often.

Exactly!! It just shows, they're not afraid to change things up majorly

I've just listened to the new album and I do really like it. But I don't love it yet. I think I need it on repeat a bit. I think I'm just a bit disappointed with the lyrics. They're not as personal and relateable as before as it's based on the comic and I really dislike all the comic stuff anyway. And I'm huge on lyrics. It'll grow on me I'm sure. I really love A Demon's Fate though. That song is amazing and so catchy.

^ Listening to it right now! It's my favourite so far as well.

I just got the album today and I am flailing around in ecstasy... nothing serious. I really can't wait to have the comic along with it, to see how the lyrics fit in with the story and characters. I love the album already, myself, and I think it'll just keep growing on me as it sits on repeat.

I'm picking mine up on Friday, and I adore the album!! Ahh... It's so amazing
