I don't think we're getting anything today. The link they posted was only a redirect to different sites around the world, so the "link" worked perfectly, we all got redirected, just that the content wasn't online to stream.

I think they should release the stream today even if it wasn't originally intended, unless they want to pay out compensation after the inevitable lawsuit for all the mental anguish and lost wages they cause in half the people on this forum as they sit and refresh the page for days until the stream is released.

In all seriousness, like said before, I feel that even if the link was posted prematurely, and they aren't ready to stream it yet, the least they could do to make up for it is release another single or whatever. It's honestly a little ridiculous how big this screw-up is. Come on, guys. :pout

My heart just jumped when I refreshed my twitter and saw a tweet from Roadrunner UK, but it was only Mark re-tweeting the blooper video :(

Yeah, haha :lol I can't help but think that they might have done it on purpose to create some more hype, as well as perhaps getting some traffic to Metalhammer?

I can just imagine.

"Time to tweet the fans that our new album will be available to stream for a limited time."

5 hours later...

"Oh shit, today is Saturday? I thought it was Monday. Oh well, I'll just delete the tweet and hope no one noticed it."

I'm not sure if incompetence can be classed as trolling :lol

Goddamn, AB! I could be playing GTA V right now instead of refreshing my browser every minute hoping there is something.

I like how there hasn't been anything explaining why it got tweeted.

"Maybe no-one noticed! In the five hours it was up."

That is a possibility.

That would be cool. But how do we know that, exactly?

Well, I almost had a heart attack when I read their tweet, but then I was like: 'Wait. This seems too good to be true. Oh yeah, it's AB and shit's/nothing's coming later.'
