Record companies got wise with press copies a few years back, they usually don’t send physical copies but rather deliver it digitally, and on top of that they apply a digital watermark unique to each press outlet/person that receives one. Sort of the equivalent of that episode of Entourage where Ari Gold freaks out about losing his M. Night Shyamalan advance script because it has every page watermarked with his name on it. So he who leaks it is immediately identified.

This album will leak by the end of this week, as Tyler pointed out physical copies will start to be delivered to stores and I am sure there will be a retail release. I pre-ordered the deluxe expanded vinyl direct from Relapse.
