Koi No Yokan thread

Oh yea of course Im the type of guy that even if i get the leak, Ill buy the CD, the vinyl , and the itunes version to get the cover tracks. The band will get thier due even if i get the album early.

Some idiot I know texted me last night "found the new deftones, downloading now". Soon after I received another text saying "when Iopened it my computer crashed! It's a fucking virus!". What a dumbass. I told him it hadn't leaked yet.

[rock_n_frost]

but it did

[xToxin]

We've heard 4 tracks already..whats the point of d/ling a leak it will be yours in a month. I want those remaining tracks to be brand new to me. I'll wait.

Well, to me I've only heard 2 tracks because the live versions aren't studio versions.

i agree. to sit infront of the computer all day,constantly updating hasitleaked for the new deftones, can't be healthy. it's like ppl are sitting there with foam in their mouths hitting the update button. get out and get some sunshine, we will have the record soon

Hey!  I'm one of those guys sitting in front of a computer updating hasitleaked all day.  This album is like crack to me.  I'll do anything for it!  Bad thing is, I probably won't even buy it!

You got another 2 weeks before the leak I'd say. Like musings said, get outside, find a girl to fuck and the music will come eventually.


Also to those not buying the album, go fuck yourself. Support art that deserves it. And people wonder why music is in such a sorry state.

I buy their T shirts and go the their shows.  I also bought every album multiple times before I knew how to dl so I think they are still ahead as far as getting money out of me goes.

[one weak]

cool story. buy this album too and the band will be even further ahead. logic much?

Or I can DL it and I will be further ahead.  Logic yes.

jesus you people are like dogs in a manger.

[TheShade1989]

I dont see the point in calling ppl morons for not listening to a leak. Whether it's outta respect for the band or wanting to wait until you've gt the whole thing in its complete form, it's just what ppl prefer.

I started off not wanting to listen to a leak, but...eh. Each new song I hear, knowing it's getting closer, makes me more excited. I'm more excited for this album than I was for DE, and I have no worries whatsoever that this album wont be mind-blowing (to me). So I might listen to a leak (provided it isnt crappy quality, because that really does ruin the first time listening to new music frm a band you love). But regardless, whether you listen to a leak or not, if you're a fan of the band or the music you've heard, then you buy the album or support them in some way. As long as you're not an asshole who loves the music but just gets the leaks and doesnt bother buying anything, then it's all good in my book.

So, what's everyone most excited to hear? If Poltergeist or Rosemary then pick another one, because it's easy to anticipate the songs we've only heard live. I mean based on descriptions or titles. Just what appeals to you the most?

[slyartwork]

My reaction to most previous posts..... WHATEVER. Deftones baby, doesn't matter when or how.

Best quote ever.

Fucking Ves, thought it was the album and almost shitted myself.

You said it sir! Just plain and simple respect for your favorite band(s). If you want them to continue on, the better the album sales, higher the probability that they willl produce more records before they are too old to do it anymore....

[xToxin]

Eh it's sort of a higher probability but as Chino said the reason they make ''this music, is because it makes us happy'' you gotta remember the band started out as just a fun thing to do. They appreciate just being able to do it, I'm sure they're pretty cool with whatever they sell.

That said, they do have to pay the record company back. But, they probably get most of their money from touring and merch.

You're absolutely right. This has a lot to do with their views too, which should also be taken into account in their motive to continue making records.. I'm sure they wouldnt mind higher record sales though. I mean, they have families, bills, plus the % that goes towards Chi's treatments, and the record company, management, band roadies ( guitar and drum tech).. Unless warner pays for the latter half as well.. Tours and merch help supplement all this in their income too obviously, if not more than album sales.

Kind of disappointing actually :/ I don't know what I was expecting or what would make it better but it just seems like a run of the mill limited edition preorder.
