You do realize you're all arguing with people you have never and probably will never meet right? I didn't write this so people could write back, " i'm buying the record and the single!" and all the other bullshit being said. I wrote it because you guys are PIRATING musicians ENTIRE records. Do any of you know how much time and money goes into putting a record together? The kings may be very well known in the U.K. but only a handful of people know them in the us... and when you put their new record online before it comes out, combined with all the great reviews they are getting in magazines in America lately, people who are NOT huge fans and just want to check them out will come across these websites and never buy their album. It's too easy to just put this album on your ipod and never worry about getting the record .... especially when you're an older man or woman and don't care about the "hot" pictures of the guys... You all act like it's ok that you did this because you're going to buy the album but do you realize that aha shake sold under a million records worldwide and under 200,00 in America.... Can you even imagine what it would have sold if it hadn't gotten leaked? I'm sure nowhere near there. you guys will be gettin REAL karma in your lives for stealing. whatever if you don't care. it will come back to you. maybe this is someone in the band? would you feel worse? would you feel embarrassed? these guys are good people and don't deserve the disrespect. you guys should be promoting them more then you already do because you never know if they will sell enough records to stay on their label. they may just hang up their coats. that is much more real than you guys could imagine. so bring on your arguments. you will be arguing with each other.

Let it go love. WE didn't leak the album you moron. Go rant at people who care about what you have to say and get off your high horse. You aren't some personal spokesperson for the official KOL fanclub. They aren't gonna come on here and read this and ask you to marry them so go get a life and do something worthy with it. You're boring us.

Hey love! haha! ummm.... Glad to be part of your 2,846th post you moron. Obsessive much? This board ENCOURAGED the leaking of the album more than any other. If you are not one of the people who encouraged it, i am not talking to you. I only posted on this because i was disgusted that people could not wait 2 days to get one of the new tracks. Not involved? Good for you! Quit picking arguments over things that have nothing to do with you. I hope people ignore your post, and this one and read my previous post being as this argument between you an I is pointless and you have nothing valid to say.

I'm starting to get a bit sick of you too.. that's too bad, because at first I thought you made a good point (and your first point still is good) but now you should maybe just quit the fucking complaining and live with it. I don't like the fact that the album leaked either, I didn't download it because I want to wait for the moment the band decided to let the world listen to it, so I'm probably your favorite person on this board. now you're probably gonna tell me too that your posts weren't intended for me then and that I should ignore them, but you're making it my problem as well by coming back to the board and getting the whole thing going again. and because I really think you need to go do something else. we understand your point, but I don't think your posts will make a difference to people who weren't planning on buying it in the first place.

I have read interviews where bands have stated that they are happy for music to be available to download on the internet be it legally or illegally. one of them being Arcade Fire. purely because it gets people listening to new music, that they might not otherwise take the time to seek out. i always download albums from the internet, because i dont earn a huge amount of money, and i like to know what i'm getting before i part with my cash. i've downloaded plenty of shit albums over the years and been glad i didnt go out and buy them. and the albums i have loved i have always bought. we didnt leak the album, and we have every right to want to hear the new songs as soon as possible. this IS the forum most of their fans come to - it must be because the label had the cheek to direct link to it without even asking Sarah.
so please, dont come on here having a go at everyone. its pointless, cause at the end of the day youre only making yourself feel better about it, and really no-one on here cares enough about the opinion of someone who has only come on here to rant. dont take it personally, youre not the only one who's done it. we're just not bothered by your opinion. obviously the band are upset that their songs and album were leaked, but we didnt do it and the fact is, theyre not the only ones this has happened to. it probably happens to about 75% of musicians out there. we're living in the age of technology. put your effort into finding the person who leaked it, cause i guarantee you, that person probably has sod all intention of buying any of their songs, ever. unlike us.
