Our job is to put out records and tour and make music. What are we gonna do? Sit at the plant and watch everybody? Some guy working minimum wage, why would he care how it affects us? It's a multi-pronged thing."

This could be the worst leak in the history in music, f you think that every year computers, iPod, internet music grows exponentially and we're probably one of the biggest bands in rock music on the internet.

1. DENIAL: Pete pretends he doesn’t care how the leak will effect chart position: “It’s gotten to the point where I’m like, who really cares about the first week (sales)? If people like the music then they like the music. That’s the best thing about it. There’s been a positive response.”

2. ANGER: Pete lashes out at the working man: “Our job is to put out records and tour and make music. What are we gonna do? Sit at the plant [he believes the leak began at the label’s manufacturing plant] and watch everybody? Some guy working minimum wage, why would he care how it affects us? It’s a multi-pronged thing.”

3. BARGAINING: Pete begs us to help him weave a silver lining: “If youve downloaded a song- cause we know alot of you hxc fob have. please tkae a moment and pick a friend and give them their first chance to listen to fall out boy. someone who would never expect to like it. convince them. you are fall out boy for that 3 minutes and 52 seconds. keep being our ambassadors. we will keep telling dudes in suits to chill out.”

4. DEPRESSION: Pete wallows: “Our new record has leaked. While this isn’t the end of the world it certainly feels pretty terrible. As an artist we have a vision for how we want our record to be presented and this isn’t it.”

4 1/2. SELF-AGGRANDIZEMENT: Wentz is an artist and sometimes he invents things, including new stages of grief. He boasts: “This could potentially be one of the biggest leaks there is. If you think that every year computers, iPod, internet music grows exponentially and we’re probably one of the biggest bands in rock music on the internet.”

5. ACCEPTANCE: This is the last, elusive stage. Will he ever get here?
