Most likely to counter early piracy (as paradoxical as it might seem) and at the same time to make money on ads while people are watching (or in this case: actually listening) the music videos. I'm pretty sure that's Vevo's business model.

Typical company logic really. They want the money before they deliver the product and hope that everything goes right. And if not than you're out of luck.
I'm not sure rather I should skip the next few days of waiting and listen to the album now. I did listen to A Question of Blood (because I thought that the track story had revealed most, man was I wrong) and I absolutely love it. But now I want to really listen to the rest, but on the other hand I rather have it from the actual vinyl records which no doubt will sound a lot better.
Edit: Has anyone received a shipment confirmation yet? It's Tuesday and if the album is due Friday than they really should hurry with the shipping. I personally already doubt I'll be receiving it on Friday because shipping from the UK usually takes a few days to The Netherlands

After waiting 8 years for a new album, I have beaten the temptation of clicking any links to listen to these tracks. I want the disc in my hand come release day and listen to them as they should be listened too.
However, I personally think it's a pointless exercise in Sony releasing the tracks online days before the actual release. We are supposed to support the artist by buying the psychical media and not p1ssing it away by low grade online free rips.
