I've been a subscriber since January and every ROTM has been of excellent quality, but I've heard their older stuff was a lot spottier in terms of QC.

I'm not usually one for record clubs, but there have been a few well priced releases recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I really don't like KM that much. I guess I'll cancel. Hoping that means I'll still get the FF for spaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charles1028 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 As much as I've tried I just can't get into Morby. This will be a swap month for me. tvham and deltadon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing here, but I've been waiting for a reason to swap for Nina Simone. Looks like this is the month. deltadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikness Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yeah, Morby is a huge miss for me. This album sounds like a more boring version of Mac Demarco doing a Bob Dylan impression.. Think I'm gonna cancel for a bit unless some killer exclusives are announced/rumored for next month. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hopefully I can swap for Fionna Apple. billya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Pass for me too. I had high hopes for Singing Saw and it never clicked for me. I have a couple swaps in mind though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I've been listening to the 2 Kevin Morby songs from the new album on Spotify. They took a couple listens to grow on me but I really like them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsNJazz Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I saw the stereogum live performance kevin morby did, and he was wearing a VMP sweater. Coincidence? I think not. I think this mystery is solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hype Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 At least with Fiona even though I knew it would not be a heavy played record I can see myself playing it here and there and def. enjoying it. This Morby dude imo just has mediocrity written all over him from everything I have heard. He is not terrible but no way in hell worth $30 for any of his material. I saw that ex-employee conversation on reddit and seen him mentioning there was a def jam release coming soon so I was hoping something hip hop but with this and then the July records first hint is something funky I am def. stepping away for a few months probably and hoping for something good again later in the year. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrocks Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 for what its worth, heres my opinion. it starts with, "im not surprised, but surprised" if its kevin morby if you recall, most all new DD subscribers had to sign at least 3-month agreements. there was no way the third album was going to be a banger/in demand release. theres also no way there are 30K morby fans out there, much less those subscribed to VMP. so, they press 10-15K of these (which wont cost nearly as much to license), wait for people to make swaps, press more if needed...essentially, this month is worth probably 500-800K in dollars, and it will allow them to clear out some of the old ROTM (since plenty of people will swap), in addition, its highly unlikely they will have to hold onto 15-20K of the current ROTM. the real test will be can they sustain the subscriber uptick, and I think this is why the next ROTM will be on the level of DD, but they were always going to have a "meh" release this cycle in order to maximize the profit from DD. anyone else think the current business model is one that helps facilitate a sale? i think thats the logical next step (assuming it hasnt already happened) i really like kevin morby, also, but will likely swap Canuckle and mondie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepperonigin Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Which records can you swap for? I've only done month to month subs in the past but decided to sign on for three now that there have been a slew of quality releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
