Indeed Big End, there has been a notable trend on this board to wish everyone well, and a hush of tumbleweed silence developing, rather than slating an act when nobody partucurlarly likes it.
I first heard Go-Audio when whoever does their Myspace contacted mine.
It`s difficult to say whether or not the label changed the direction of the band. Talented young bands change their mind on direction all the time, I believe the record company would have to deal with all the twists and turns, keep the act happy and target the audience still.
Failing all that, if they didnt believe in them, they`d have been told to get their coats by now.
There`s a lot of it about and the coat rack is half empty, half full depending on one`s optimism.
My own personal optimism, was to buy four new coat racks. |

and new is what we need like a blast of fresh air. Well said JK. Things may very well go for them and I doubt there is a person on this board who does not wish people every possible success. However... |

Assuming we are talking about The Vacancy turned Go Audio. I have to say their new sound is more exciting. Less kiddy... Made Up Stories is a smash. There old material sounded like a second rate busted. |

I totally agree but maybe the label changed their direction for a reason. The point I was trying to make is that we don't know if they're wrong until the band release. If it's a total flop then you can do the "I told you so" speech but until then we'll never know.
You're right to a degree, of course. But if we come to this board, we are interested in what goes into creating music (I almost said "hits", but it's not the unique focus of the board) and getting it into the public ear. And as JK says, as the creator you are often playing with one bullet. Better shoot with a steady hand!
Besides, JK's comments will not affect the acts' chances. Their label, however, has an almost life-or-death series of decisions to make.
Che sara, sara. |

Ah Victor; I can guarantee they will release and have HUGE success (number 4 in the chart?) because, as with their approach to talent - sticking them in boxes - the majors still know how to hype the stupid, meaningless chart (not that it matters - see above in my FRIGHTENING thread).
The band/artiste/management will go "ooh, how brilliant - we're in the top ten. Now for Top of the Pops (not) and the Chart Shows (not) and Fame'n'Glory (not unless you take drugs, date a super model and adore rehab)".
And after a couple of months, the band or artiste will drift away as newer, more fresh signings get "the treatment".
Then the executive who took them will be fired. As the corporate bottom line gets redder and redder. Down the priority list they will go.
Watch and witness. Anticipation of the predictable is vital these days and a massive responsibility when dealing with human lives.
Easy to say "wait and see".
Not so easy to lay the foundations for real success.
That's the point of this discussion. Think new. |
