Arcade Fire's new album Reflektor has sprung a leak. Yesterday (Oct. 23), select record stores in Ireland began to sell copies of the hotly anticipated fall album, leading to an all-out Internet free-for-all not too soon after.

After illegal copies of the album made their way throughout Tumblr, Twitter and file sharing sites, Arcade Fire took things into its own hands and have released a full stream of the album five days before its original release date.

The stream is also available on the band's official website, arcadefire.com, though as of press time, the server has crashed (likely to high traffic).

Reflektor's album stream comes via YouTube and footage from the 1959 film Black Orpheus, much like the lyric video for "Afterlife" released earlier this week. In addition to being a simple album stream, Reflektor's visuals also contain the full lyrics to the album.
