Gigaton was a FLAC file. I think the first 7 songs of Lightning Bolt leaked because the were on MLB Playoffs promotional disc. Can't remember Backspacer.
was there a full Backspacer or S/T leak? Gigaton has those verizon snippets, and S/T had the rough mixes of about half the record (including the essential no fade Life Wasted_)
Backspacer definitely leaked about a week prior to release. I remember uTorrent-ing it on my old DSL yellow cable. Took about 40 minutes to download.

Good times.

I don’t understand the obsession with bits and samples when the underlying production is garbage.
You’re talking about degrees of shit here.
You're assuming I'm in agreement with you on the production.
it's not about agreement it's objective science!

I’m sure I will enjoy illegally obtaining the album before intended more so than the album itself

Playing my imaginary leaked copy in my head right now.
Still think Gigaton is better, however Waiting for Stevie is now a top 5 song.
Same with Setting Sun.
The imaginary leaked version I heard, (In my head) sounds like I got Id and Immortality decided to have a polyamorous relationship with Parting ways & Crazy Mary and by wonders of modern science, conceive a love child.

My imaginary leaked copy is the absolute best sound quality.
Only complaint other than the fact that it is not real... is that the drums sound like absolute ass.
