So, does anyone have the unofficial official story on how this leak came to be this time that they are not afraid to share? [names and likenesses can be changed]

Someone needs to get this up on a rapidshare or megaupload download for the next few people that need to get it. I'm downloading right now... 2% done and I'm chewing paint off of my walls with excitement. I know my speed will increase soon and I'll have it within an hour but even that is torture.

The End: Ed sounds so incredibly naked here. this is probably their best closer since Immortaltiy. And the way it cuts out at the end is pretty powerful
Overall I love this record. This is the first PJ record I'd say is actually 'fun' and they sound so free and unburdened. There are no misfires here, even the weaker songs (supersonic/speed of sound) are pretty good and they do what they are supposed to do. There are quite a few potential masterpieces here, and they haven't soared like this since Yield (and may do it better here). They just sound so unburdened compared to the last 3 records.
there's also a pretty noticable 80s feel to this, which gives this record a pretty unique sound and feel for a PJ album, even if almost all the songs have at least a passing resemblance to stuff they've done in the past (pretty inevitable at this point)
They did an amazing job with this one!
Favorites are GSMF, Johnny Guitar (who knew?), Amongst the Waves, Unthouhgt Known, Force of Nature, and the End.
