"Please buy our album , look we'll even throw in pictures of us goofing around in the studio"



I don't know why people buy albums by bands like Linkin Park anyway , I mean i've heard loads of their songs and i've made no effort or have no wish to hear them yet it seems like they release about 10 singles off each album and somehow I always get to hear the damn things.

haha. I don't listen to the radio much so I would not know. All I listen to is clasic rock on the radio. When Meteora came out pretty much any song off that album could be heard legally from the internet, MTV, or the radio.

And this is not a good album cover

A band that is affectionally known as STINKING FART on these shores. Their music is almost pop music in it's arrangements and big shouty choruses. There were a couple of bands in the early 90's who were doing stuff similar to SF, albeit; with a genuine affection and acknowledgement to sampling and hip hop beats.

Senser-Stacked up. Their emphasis was more on hip hop, but an amazing album. Way ahead of it's time.

Mordred-In this Life. Their emphasis was on the thrash metal element of their sound, but they enlisted a bona fide DJ/DECKMAN into their ranks to lend their music authenticity.

Both albums went largely un noticed by the populace, but remain eminently listenable and groundbreaking. I can up if anyone is interested on their influence (for better or worse!)

Obviously he's trying to convince people to buy the album, but he does bring up a good point about the quality of downloaded music. I've burnt some CD's from my friend who downloaded a few albums from various bands, and some of them were missing track, the song order was wrong (transitions then sounded bad), etc. One of them was Arcturus's Sideshow Symphonies, and the whole album was messed up (this was before I burnt it to cd, thankfully).


Also, that **** he said about the pictures and the booklet; Nothing can describe the stupidity in that argument, in my opinion.

I've never had a problem with the quality of downloaded music, your friends just suck at it.

Exactly how can you suck at downloading music? It's not like you're doing any manual labor. It's point-and-click, right?
