i don't think that's fair to ask. i won't listen to it before its international release but i think that if someone wants to express an opinion over that album he has every right to do it. now whether you're going to be affected or not by his/her opinion , that's your problem, but i don't think you should.
after all that is the message board for.

I'm not going to read any reviews or listen to any clips this time either. I want my opinion to really be my own based on listening to it, rather than being swayed by other people's thoughts.

Reading what other people think about the CD would not interfere with my opinion of the CD when I hear.

No one is asking a person to NOT post their opinion. We're only asking that if a person is talking about the new album or new songs that they make it clear in their subject line that that's what the post is about so those who do not want to read other people's opinions can avoid those posts. It's like posting on a soap opera, television, or movie board--it's common courtesy to post SPOILER if you're discussing something that not everyone has had the chance to see/hear.

A person could post a subject heading "I think" and then tell what they think of the CD or say that they think that the Crush DVD was better than the London DVD. "I think" is not a very clear indication of what is in the post. "My review of TLFR" is pretty clear. Or "SPOILER: I think" would make it clear that the post is someone's opinion of TLFR.

It's very much "fair" to ask to be shown courtesy.

ok. it's up to each person whether he's going to put "spoiler" on the title or not. i know what you mean and if i was to listen to the album first, i would respect that, but if you want us to talk about subject lines the title "keep it to yourselves" was rather harsh imo.

I'm with you here too Becky. When I bought Bounce and listened to it for the first time, I already had pre-conceived notions about it. I don't want to feel the same way when I listen to TLFR for the first time too. I want to hear it for the first time without hearing what anyone else thought about it.
