    Don't make me refill my Super Big Gulp.
    If I were dead, could I do this?

    The leak has either been tempered with or they decided to go for a last minute (over)compressed sound which I find hard to believe.

    On your left: The waveform from the official (!) Alvar press preview. It sounds perfect in it's build-up and sound levels and in relative volume to the rest of the stream.

    On your right: The 320kbps mp3 leak of Alvar. The waveform is compressed. The result? It sounds much louder overall and hardly any differences between the more quiet parts of the song remain, leading up to the final build up, meaning it was altered compared to the earlier preview when at this stage mastering should long have been completed.

    I smell fish.

    If the leaker thought they knew a bit about watermarking , they could of decoded the file to wav , normalised it and then recoded it to 320 , thinking it would remove the watermarking . Its also quite possible they deliberately gave you access to an unmastered version .

    Sartori: the stream sounds breathtaking even though it's not cd quality so it is not unmastered.
    Also: turning watermarked files into any other file and normalizing it will not remove the watermark. Not even remotely.

    This album has a lot of dynamics in it. Quieter parts, louder parts, meticulously executed to create a flow.
    Compressing it like this gets rid of that. I highly doubt that is something Goldfrapp would do. They even perform it accordingly.
