Rhapsody isn't the only outlet to feature the album early -- The Guardian is streaming it today, too -- but the portability that Rhapsody offers is certainly enticing.
The music subscription service is also offering a ton of editorial content, including videos, the band's responses to subscriber questions, and other interviews and tidbits.
