Total joke, it's like you said, they're just gonna lose money the more they delay it, you need to make the most off a short few weeks of anticipation and excitement to get people impulse buying the CD. Look at how Kanye and 50 sold records with a gimmick that got everyone excited and saying "I'm gonna buy one or both of those CDs".

Not to mention its not fair on the fans who've been told an album's coming out this date then that date, its taking advantage of our good nature that makes us want to go and buy the album and support the artist.

Sorry for the essay but your post really got me to thinkin'! Excellent blog too btw, I'm subscribed so keep updating!
