Outkast
has reacted to their album being leaked over the internet. The

websites. Stankonia, which includes their single Bombs
Over Baghdad
, is scheduled to be in stores October 31st.The group issued this
statement: "As artists, we appreciate the anticipation our
fans have for our music, however it is also very important for
us to present the music in a creative format that is representative
of our personalities, as our fans expect nothing less. We should
have control over how our music is presented to our fans, and
we feel that it is a creative invasion to spread our unfinished
album over the net, without our knowledge. We feel musically and
personally offended." Laface Records representatives had
no comment.
