The recent leak of the forthcoming Built To Spill record shows that the band has a sense of humor yet are determined to get paid for their work. The only leak available of “You In Reverse” samples from Mike Jones, the Houston rapper who sings his mobile number all over his own records and routinely asks the rhetorical question, “Who is Mike Jones?”

That rhetorical question was sampled and is used all over the BTS record and would surely get irritating after some point with continuous listen. I suppose they understand that leaks are just the norm these days and they can’t fully combat the inevitable, but they can make it annoying for repeated listening.
