Yes, Virginia

The new Dresden Dolls album “Yes, Virginia” has been leaked online about 2 months before the scheduled release date. In response to the leak, Amanda Palmer said the following:
“one of the reasons we consider ourselves so lucky is that you guys ARE such a loyal fanbase that we don’t need to worry about y’all downloading our album and not going out to buy the record. we know you all will. as far as what you do with your free time on the internet, itis your choice. we take the stance we do with everything else: be free and do what you want to do. we cannot stop the future, but we can communicate with you the fact that if you don’t buy the physical disc, you will be a) hurting the band financially and b) missing out on the album artwork, which i personally consider part of the album itself – not some random add-on.”
After listening to the whole thing I can tell you it kicks ass and you’ll definitely enjoy it if you enjoyed their first album. If you don’t enjoy their first album then there is something seriously wrong and you should seek medical attention. So go buy the album when it’s released and go check them out on tour. They are currently doing European dates and should be back in the U.S. around late summer.
