no le4k$ yet either.

i got to hear the whole album today. Definitely not what I expected, and I mean that in a good way.
Darker and weirder than Argula, much much weirder. There is no obvious 'hit' that i could detect, but it's certainly an inventive album. Most of the vocals are reverbed, delayed, chopped to hell and the beats are like a chunky stew. I was actually getting pleasantly uptight in the listening room until Jimmy which is this lite disco house thing. Quite jarring in context.
She does a lot of singing of other tunes within her own. Entire versus of "Road Runner" and "Where is MY Mind."
Runs out of steam before the end, and they're squeezing a TImbaland track just to keep the US market happy (it's weak), but still and album I really want to hear again. HOpe it leaks before the end of summer.
Album kinda runs

it's not weak! love that tune! is it really on the album though? wow. wonder why it didn't end up on the timbatots record? lite disco house? i'll buy that.

Kala just leaked. Look hard and you will find it.

on s0uls££k? look hard ?!
― pisces, Thursday, 12 July 2007 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Alright, I've got a scowl on my face and I'm clenching my fists, but Kala is not forthcoming!

I've looked everywhere I can think of, even her fan boards have no idea about a possible leak. Where is it?
― wickedm, Friday, 13 July 2007 01:39 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, I don't even really care and I am bothered that I can't find this!

it's on my Slsk wishlist and never comes up :(

All albums should come with a release date and a le4k date. Just to save me the trouble of looking for this once a week...
― avonhun, Friday, 13 July 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Wikipedia entries on recent albums tend to be really specific about what date it leaked to the internet, so there's that.
It's kinda depressing that Blaq Starr reportedly produced a song on this record, dude is a genius and deserves better.
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 13 July 2007 19:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Deserves better than being on one of the most anticipated records of the year? Yeah, he got a raw deal on that one.
― Gavin, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Deserves better artistically, I'm just saying in my own subjective opinion, not that working on a major label album won't be good for his career.
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link
Curious, have you heard the song yet? I love "Git My Gun" so much.
― Gavin, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link
"one of the most anticipated records of the year"?
(NOTE: I really like Arular but COME ON NOW)
― HI DERE, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:24 (sixteen years ago) link
that's "one of the 7,500 most anticipated records of the year"

It's all Diplo's fault.
― Alex in SF, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:32 (sixteen years ago) link
he must be so depressed
― s1ocki, Friday, 13 July 2007 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Diplo or Blaq Starr?
― Alex in SF, Friday, 13 July 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
i imagine they're both quite bummed about the situation.

its easy for lex to say were acting like kids when he has it already.

the lex usually valorizes kid-like reactions, no?

Its usually the Lex calling people 'dad' and 'grandad,' hence the lolz.

30 second clips on each track have been revealed:

I can't actually think of another record I was anticipating this year except for Justice.
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 17:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean, why wouldn't it be?
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 17:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Because her first album sold approximately 14 copies (including the two I bought)?
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link
if people don't care too much for her or her new cd, then why is kala being guarded so badly? no leaks to speak of, huh?
― forgetwhatyouknew, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Because the only people who care are Internet music nerds like us?
THIS ISN'T VERY HARD TO FIGURE OUT, PPL
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I posted this on another thread but the current soundscan numbers for the first album are about 130K units in the US alone.
Also, internet music nerds are the new majority.
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
i've searched everywhere i can think of, and re-searched every day, quite diligently, and nothing. i know someone with a copy, but he's separated from his computer at the moment. but that means others have it.
anyone willing to share?
― forgetwhatyouknew, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Two iterations of the same album combined for a total of less than .04% of the potential market over the course of two years.
I am not scoffing at her album sales; that is better than anything I will ever do. However, have some sense of perspective here; her audience is narrow.
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Dan, I think it's a pretty highly anticipated release. I don't think anyone on this board thinks we have to talk about Three Tenors numbers to say something is highly anticipated.
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:38 (sixteen years ago) link
My only point is that it's highly-anticipated by a comparatively small number of people, therefore I think the claim that it's one of the most hilghly-anticpated releases of the year FULL STOP is even more hyperbolic than ILM usually gets.
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Eh, I think music nerds are some of the few people that actually anticipate releases *at all*.
