Good Album. Boom! is still sadly as applicable today.
The name being their response to early versions of the tracks leaking in Napster is great. Not “you’re taking our money” but “wait till we finish the songs, THEN steal it”.
The disc itself looks just like a blank CD-R with a sharpie label, but there’s also “hand drawn” alternate versions from each of the members.
It’s also a reference to this book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steal_This_Book?wprov=sfla1
The number of copies that were stolen is unknown.[3]
