Track release theory.
I try not to speculate because I know we'll get the album soon enough, but I have a theory about tracks from WTT releasing.
If the digital version truly is supposed to come out August 1, we could receive 1 new track each day from the album and it would be timed perfectly with that date. Stay tuned to http://soundcloud.com/watchthethrone/ because many people are referring us there. Imagine Lift Off debuting at midnight on August 1 as the last song before the digital album drops.
Promotion-wise it makes sense because the hype and actual tracks will dominate everything in music. Even snippets or versions with samples missing (Is Otis missing the Blades of Glory sample?) would increase awareness. I know most of Gaga's album was released as official singles prior to the official date and it was still a huge success.
Lastly, this is probably reaching, but when Jay said he didn't want to release "a single", maybe he wanted to release every track as a single.
But like I said, we'll get the album in due time. These two release much more quality music in a short span of time than any other rappers and it's no big deal if we're not here to hear it the second it drops.

I understand some of your concerns, but like some of you have also pointed out, the album is about the message it will send. We all want to see them do well sales-wise, but they could probably care less.
What should be considered more than anything is the fresh impact this album will have. You have two of the game's most influential and respected rappers exploring and delving into a creative realm that hip-hop has never seen before. Without listening to the album, you already know that chopped up soul samples transitioning into dubstep beats sounds insanely awesome.
The vision they have involves rappers pushing the envelope and the title "Watch The Throne" symbolizes the gold standard. They don't want rappers to copy them, they want them to learn from them.
Finally, in the scenario I described above, like with any album leak, it would be on you to decide if you want to listen or not. I think while the lyrics will paint a nice picture, the aforementioned message is general and can be inferred from something as simple as the title.

Yeah I agree with you. You dont have to love it but some people were calling it terrible and while I know opinions cant be wrong, that is
B said:
I know people who didn't like Power, but once they heard it mixed in with the rest of the album, they tolerated it. Basically, don't worry about what other people think because at the end of the day everyone, even the haters, expect and receive a product that delivers.
Makes perfect sense and is fully in the realm of possibility.
was kinda thinking this too
