I was not going to listen to any of game theory unless i knew i had the official complete album It was for the same reasons you just said So When i got my hands on an official complete version of it, i popped it into my cd player, broke out my best headphones, and took the Real Ride I went through the same motions i did when i first heard phrenology (which i heard the day it came out, no download) The ONLY difference is i didnt have liner notes or pictures (which have me excited about August 29th), but even when i have the booklet i tend to wait until after i've heard the whole LP before i look in it (its more fun to hear the music first without all the expectations that "featuring ___" or a particular title name can put on your ears)
