What is the modern 'release date,' anyway? Most albums slip before their 'official' street dates, leaving the big, bad internet to determine the real launch point. And, in that spirit, the latest MGMT album is now widely available across the internet, according to information unearthed Sunday by data partner BigChampagne. The album, Congratulations, first started circulating online over the weekend, well ahead of its April 13th street.
This is the real thing, and most of the discussion online now surrounds quality. Actually, the band itself has now recognized the leak, and pre-emptively posted a stream on their website, whoismgmt.com.
The move allows the band to offer a higher-quality version, and solicit pre-orders. "Hey everybody, the album leaked, and we wanted you to be able to hear it from us," a message from the band reads. "We wanted to offer it as a free download but that didn't make sense to anyone but us."
But of course, those wanting a download can simply click over to a number of alternatives, including the Pirate Bay.
