If An Arcade Fire Record Leaks Without Making A Sound, Does It Exist?

After finding out Friday that Neon Bible, the forthcoming album by the Arcade Fire, had snaked into a few of the Internet’s less reputable pipes, we were fully expecting to see the Hype Machine and elbo.ws charts light up with MP3s from the album this morning. But the aggregators have been curiously low on mere mentions of the band, the album, and whether or not Win Butler was still answering the 866 number. So what happened? Did the muddy quality of the leak–which got it removed from a few “high-bitrate-only” filesharing sites–cause people to bide their MP3-posting time? Was there fear that the Web Sheriff would show up and show off his gunslinging ways? Or did bloggers actually show a little bit of restraint?
