English isn't my native language, so please excuse me if I don't always write perfectly.

I've been a fan since the early 2000s, when I was just 11 years old. That means... basically my whole life, right?

Basically, I feel torn in two. Part of me wanted this so badly that I couldn't even sleep sometimes, thinking about Eros. And now, it seems like we finally have something in our hands. But despite a little spark of joy, I don't feel happy about it.

Not at all.

Chino never wanted this to be exposed — he had his reasons. As fans, we were always curious about Eros, but the band set a boundary long ago, and they made it clear, they just didn't want this to see the light. But humans we do like to cross boundaries all the time.

I'm listening to Margot right now, and you can hear it — Chino is bleeding through his voice, suffering, hurt very deeply. If you know him, you can tell. So, its seems is own intimacy has been broken. Now it's there.. will be online, forever.

People often think that releasing an album is just about putting songs out there, but ¿what if those songs were recorded during personal and painful moments for the band? well, now it's online and will forever be online.

I need a hug.

Dang and just like that everything is gone... 

Either the leak came from someone who worked with Terry Date...

Or from the recent catalog sale, where hard drives where probably moved around and someone got access.

Kinda odd this happened two days after Chino's birthday. I really want to hear what the band has to say about it.

Quote from: Moana91 on Today at 12:51 AMAt first, I was with everyone else in thinking the band must be pissed off right now...

But looking back at tokyodrifter's comment:

"Disclosure Day 👽"

Seems like at least Chino kind of approves???

Are we sure this is chino?

Uh I doubt that's chino... from what I've heard, no one is happy about this

I can almost with utmost certainty say that it is most likely Chino.

Scenario: Chino uploads Smile to youtube. This brand new account on here, made that day, finds that specific video on Chino's personal youtube channel, copied the link, comes to the bands "official" message board and posts "don't say i never gave you anything

ps

shh"

I'm going to be hard pressed to believe that all of that is just a massive coincidence.

Does that post still exist?
I think that is one of the pinnacles of this forum.

I bet the risk of it was pretty known for that someone

Most of these songs have already been on the internet for over 15 years, I don't know how this is making news.

I might be wrong though, since the guy who made this spreadsheet seems to know more than me.

Damn, as some already said.. that's insanity!

*proceeds to look deep at the info

Hello, owner of the spreadsheet here

Currently adding descriptions to each track so people will know what the differences are between each version.

In terms of the bounce files, they are legit. They are from a session folder which hasn't been leaked yet but will be later today. This will be the final leak

In terms of the difference, DESTINY MS Bounce Regular is a further developed version than destiny_ruffvocals2007 containing the completed instrumental with more finished vocals and backing vocals during the chorus from Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park.

DESTINY MS Bounce Shorter is basically the same as the previous version but with altered structure, containing no bridge after each chorus.

Whoa that's wild!

Just sent you a couple pm's BTW
