    How does leaking your own album in 2017 create hype for a band? Especially one that is established already

    Most artists are barely surviving. I don't think taking a potential purchase away from a consumer because they"already have it" works for the artist or label. While it might make a few newcomers go out and buy a record, most people are in the digital realm and a leak takes away a purchase.

    Murder was also the largest pressing for any record that Flightless ever did, band has been hyped with the 5 releases in 2017 since late 2016 and tours the world on a regular basis.

     

    A leak would seem to take away from the hype of release, not add to it. Especially in our day and age where most people forget about things a week afterwards

     

    Because if they don't someone else will.

  2. eh i've written this, and deleted it few times but.

     

    Ptm has been headed in this direction ever since American Ghetto I feel like.

    Anything from there on has just been a familiar trope of  modern pop music. American Ghetto might've not been a great album but it still had that unique organic sound especially with the beats. Anything since then doesn't really have any longevity.  Their music post AG is unfortunately just bland consumable music.

     

      I hate saying this because they were one of my favorite band's, and clearly they are very good at writing catchy pop music.

    Really, it shouldn't be a surprise at all but personally this LP was kind've a last chance for me. Tracks like "Live in the Moment" and " Noise Pollution" are honestly unbearable and quite hard to get through. It blow's my mind that this band had actually scrapped an entire album and re-wrote this new one.

     

    I cringed when I read it at first, this isn't verbatim but that one poster who said they're now basically going for that  urban outfitters ish crowd sound  I feel is unfortunately right.  It just doesn't feel like them. In retrospect they've always been a band to hop on music trends.

    "But it is not challenging me in anyway, musically it doesn't excite me. I wonder if they have the drive to make music that excites people anymore? However many albums in have they just got comfortable? When they make music now does Gourley still think back to his idols he spoke of in the blog post they made when they signed to Atlantic."
