EROS - no leak topic

[47F]

Did you guys see Chino's wife reaction?

I no longer 100% believe tokyodrifter is Chino tbh...

That "disclosure day 👽" comment seemed too happy and was written too quickly after the leak.

I just don't see Chino learning that Eros has been leaked and immediately thinking "I better log into Sharing Lungs to leave a cool little comment"...

I don't know.

It's not chino

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

my theory is that he was also under this move, like that time with Smile

This is most certainly not from the band

Nah, I never thought it was from Chino or the band. This would be a stupid way to share that material with fans. Maybe someone that works with the band in some capacity, or more likely someone who works for WB. Just sucks it happened around his birthday.

We've heard from his wife now, you can bet the band is fucking pissed. I'm just very bummed about it tbh. I mean, I've been wanting to hear this material for 18 years... that's fucking crazy. Now, they're definitely never going to revisit the album, but I didn't think they would anyways, so as a fan I couldn't help myself. My girlfriend and I listened to it last night. Very bittersweet, just wanted to hear Chi again. I am very sorry to the band this happened, I personally won't feel right to contribute to it spreading on the internet but I won't judge anyone else for doing so. It is what it is.

Sometimes these types of leaks actually end up pushing the band to release things commercially, so don't lose all hope. Case in point, radiohead sold the full mini disc demos on bandcamp after someone leaked it.

Whole situation sucks.

The drama tho.

Of course they're fucking pissed at something they're not profiting from. I don't mean it in a bad way, like they're complete sellouts or something, but at the end of the day, they're part of the music business. When you have a bad day at work, you get mad.

That said, hundreds of the industry people involved must have had access to these files over the years. I seriously doubt it'd make that much of a difference to get all emotional about it if maybe 5 percent of the fanbase will actually care to search for some shady zip archives.

They're making tons of money right now. If you've read any of the dozens of interviews they've given you'd know this is special album to them because of what happened to Chi. Don't project onto them.
