Why i don't think it was a leak: They updated the API with new info (new products), and the website (Bleep) is probably cached in Cloudflare (a CDN provider), so it took a few minutes for the website to catch up to the new data.

Being BOC fans, i'm sure people were monitoring the API data (which is public). That's why we found out first.

Disclaimer: I'm a software developer, so i work with these things. Did plenty of app/websites roll outs in my time.

Also, don't think the leak had anything to do with the reveal. After the 3pm update last week and the header changes at the same time today I was expecting the reveal to probably land around now.

Of course the leak had everything to do with the reveal today. There was a slow burn going— teaser, posters, tape, profile picture changes. Then the leak and all at once, title, cover, release date, tracklist, all with over a month to go. It’s unfortunate, but their plans were spoiled by sleuths going through Bleep’s api.

Foul play, but oh well, here we are. Nothing ahead of us but the music now

There is no way they could've rolled out this all over the place within 30 mins.

Anyway, glad I got my order in before Bleep went down. LP+CD+Shirts – What a beautiful day!

I was prepared to not look at anything if it did leak. Reddit begets terrible things.

If any music leaks after this I am shielding myself.
