Hey so um...
This became a thing.
Then it stopped being a thing for 20 minutes.
Then it got leaked. ( http://we.tl/88zwlT52aw )
Then people find a shit ton of unreleased music.
Then they delete 99% of their social media presence and replace it with the leaked game links.
Then people find out that it's a marketing scheme.
Thoughts?
All I can think is "when's the next album coming out"
All I saw was a lot of shouting in tweets.
I don't like shouting in tweets.
Then people find out that it's a marketing scheme.
Is it? I just saw Ary and Pete throw links around on tumblr like crazy, something about Ary getting sued (maybe unrelated to this) and like all that usual Pete rambling we know and love.
But is it a marketing scheme?
All I can think is "when's the next album coming out"
Yes. Me too. I want it. I need it to function properly as a human, I think.
I streamed some of the game last night. Its a pr stunt.
Theres two starting levels both of which are broken, but you can 'press tab for developer mode' and hop into a developer sandbox.
This area contains a bunch of tapes that when shoved into a robot (FRUG) plays the song. Theres about 30/35 in total i found them all. You can then after a bit of exploring and reading you find an 'exporter' you shove a tape in and it takes you out the game and to a site where you can download that song.
The directory for those songs is here:

My stream vod is here:

and someone managed to export all the sound assets from that game file into a 5gb package which you can get here via Mega.

**edit** frug is also aware of the fact you shouldn't be there saying stuff like 'you dont have access' or 'you're not a developer'
Enjoyyyyyy

This PR stunt is actually pretty cool imo. The game even references it and everything. They're really going all out.
This is amazing. This is a damn album release with a sly PR campaign, you just have to puzzle it all together... interacting with their release from start to finish. New songs are even numbered... duh. Funny that Gamespot didn't understand the release to begin with, then updated their article to reveal it was a PR stunt; at least they kept the article up! Free media coverage... it's smart af.
All in all, I doubt this 'game' took a week to make... seems complicated enough. Lots of thought went into it, and good for the boys! gunna start my album adventure soon.
Also the link to the release index on their site up there ^^ has an awesome vid of Japan Air from their last album... kinda feels like a massive media dump via multimedia. Very cool.

What do you guys think about the speculation that this is just one huge B-Sides dump? Do you think any of these tracks are actually from [USA], or are they all just rejectees?

I think some of them are way better than USA fwiw

I'd say there's a good chance that that's right.
