A lot of Album reviewers and industry pundits have some very leaky lap tops....'Third' in pre-release form is available at any good illegal download forum near you.....
Of course, I have yet to hear it.............

I rather naughtily downloaded the album (but will DEFINATELY be getting the vinyl when it's released) and could not be more shocked at the choice of single. Machine Gun is totally brutal, it sounds like it should be off the Terminator soundtrack or something. Brave choice, awesome album.
