Gnarls Barkley release album today, three weeks earlier than it's supposed release date


This morning Gnarls Barkley released their second album The Odd Couple three weeks earlier than it's supposed release date of April 8th. They stated that they felt the time was right to do so but one can't help but wonder if this was a strategic move to surpass the bootleggers. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised to see more artists drop albums unexpectedly earlier than their planned date of release to avoid online bootlegging. This comes on the heel of the two getting their video for their single Run banned from MTV for reasons some consider ambiguous. One can't help but wonder if the two have shrouded this release with mystery and controversy to aid marketing and generel interest. However you feel about their music you have to give it up for their ingenious marketing.
