How did it get leaked? Surely, it hasn't shipped to stores already? Did someone hack the computer?
It was most likely one of the people who received an advance copy to review, or someone they gave the CD to. Either that or someone involved in the process of creating it made a copy and put it on the internet, although someone mentioned in a thread that he had received a promo copy, so it was most likely that.
Albums leak all the time, usually through reviewers getting promos and them finding their way onto the big, bad internet. Its unavoidable, and while it can sometimes be sourced back to a particular person I'd say most of the time nobody knows. There's no such thing as an album that won't leak anymore. I'm sure most artists know that but it must get annoying as hell. I'm sure Dev'll be delighted when he comes on here and sees the discussion thread! Oh well. Joys of the interweb.
shut up and kiss me you walking infection
Im curious to see how Dev reacts to the leak.
He was probably told about the leak before the thread was even put up. I highly highly doubt he would be kept in the dark about it.
Hopefully he doesn't get too peeved about it, I'm pretty sure alot of people are gonna go and buy it once they hear it anyway, but I think I'd piss myself with fright if he started yelling at everyone who downloaded it

He never has before. When he's commented in the past, it was a resigned sigh, because he'd rather people receive the music in its intended form.

And he'd want people to receive it in the intended form with good reason too. I never download illegally or whatever it's called. It just brings more satisfaction to have music that I've paid for with my own money. I tried downloading once..but the music sounded so hollow. The production was good, but that's not what made it sound empty. It was just knowing that I was stealing from a fellow artist, enjoying the fruits of their labor without the decency to thank them for it. I bought the album soon after and have not since got my music that way.
But I'm glad to see that most everyone in these forums is still going to buy copies of it from Dev, even if they have downloaded it now. It's cool to be in a forum that has serious people for once. Props to all.

Heartwarming, isn't it. Looks like hundreds of people downloaded the album only to order it two days later.
Proper artist = proper fans.

It seems kind of pointless really. To me, it just sounds better when you wait for it.

What if... the responsible for the leak is the Dev himself?
What if he knew that sooner or later the album would leak and foreseeing this he released an alter version of the final product? an alter version that he had already mixed for this purpose...
What if when we get the official copy the album, it is different from the leak, surprising everybody! cause we took for granted that the mp3 we have all been listening to for week was the real deal!!!
What if I'm just too greedy and want moar music from the dev cause Ki is just so mind blowing/expanding/fucking that it acts exactly like a drug and I'm already... ADDICTED...

I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby, for a buck...
If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch, you're out of luck...
God's away on business...

Anyone worth a pinch of shit should be well aware of how completely retarded it is to be downloading an epic release such as this, on that im sure we can all agree.
Not to mention a promotional, poorly encoded version that will only detract from what otherwise promises to be a transcendental experience.
Writhing, putrid, unwashed internet-masses take note - its Heavy Fucking Devy... buy the fucking record!

I'm sure there are plenty of people who aren't the immense fans of Devin's work that we are. They don't get the same experience out of listening to his music, and therefore don't mind only having a bunch of MP3s.
Keep that in mind before you start insulting 99.8% of the world's population.

While that is still perfectly true I think im entitled to take pity on someone who doesnt appreciate the finer point of sounds quality! My apologies for sounding a bit aggressive as that was written in the heat of the moment so to speak but yeah... the idea of someone listening to Ki (or any music for that matter) in anything but its purest form makes me sad (and sometimes angry )
