Looking back, I am not sure whether the release was added before or
after a torrent surfaced for the album.  If we can confirm the
tracklist with audio files before the official release date then I'm
okay with adding releases early (regardless of what I may have said on
past edits... we are always improving our voting/editing methods ;)
