that some artists aren't releasing track lists for new albums as early as they used to? For example, the newest Anne Wilson release did not release the track list until the release came out. Also, there is a new release coming out this Friday by The Mylon Hayes Family and I still have been unable to find the track list for it yet. I know this shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but I've gotten so used to getting the track list in advance that this is really bugging me. I also like to add albums to the database here in advance and I can't do that without a track list. It seems funny to me now when I think back to a time when I never got the track list in advance before an album was released.

Good for artists for not ridiculously leaking all of their album info prior to release. It does them zero good to do so.

Really...what possible good does it to for an artist to release the list of songs on their album when you can't hear the songs? No good at all. It's empty and unnecessary advertising. I fully support waiting for the release date to actually RELEASE everything on the album.

Well, that's fine. I was just speaking for myself. As a fan, I always eagerly await the release of the track lists from artists that I am interested in. It's just been a long time since I've had to wait so long, that's all. I also just wondered what the reason is for this change.
