Yeah, I'm the Porcupine Tree fan.
I haven't tracked down the leak (will probably just buy the album when it comes out), but I have looked at some of the reviews on Rate Your Music, and it seems to be really polarising people. Glancing over the negative reviews, most don't exactly elaborate what's wrong with the album... but there's a whole range of complaints: the album flows badly, it's boring, a total self-parody, etc. Bad lyrics seem to be a common issue, too... but I guess that was to be expected.
Got any links to more in-depth negative reviews explaining why it's terrible on so many levels?
I guess I'm going to be approaching this one with a bit of skepticism and lowered expectations. At the same time, I originally wasn't overly keen on Fear of a Blank Planet, thinking it was far too cold when I first heard it, but I quite like it now, so... *shrugs*.
Have you heard the leak yet?
