Fun Stuff > BAND
Albums that have leaked
a pack of wolves:
Major labels are a total rip-off. Unless you get absolutely huge bands are better off on an indie. They also take a percentage for breakages, which is something which used to happen years ago with vinyl pressing. But they still take it out of the artist's pocket.
The moral is, listen to Albini: fuck contracts and fuck the majors.
Robbo:
I can't help but laugh at The Killers for that, I really can't.
Dying Fetus said it all about biglabels and what they do. Very nicely put too. Yeah, must of my stuff is indie label stuff, being Metal. And a lot of those bands have noted even with downloading their sales and gigs are up.

"Sales are slumping and nobody can say why... Maybe it's because they released one too many lousy records?" - Dead Kennedys, 'MTV Get Off The Air'
Robbo:
And you gotta worry that of all the pop crap with labels that love the RIAA. All the stuff the put out is only about 1/4 of what's made in a year. Or something like that, I'll have to go check the figures if I can.
captainawesome:
I just got Illinois by Sufjan Stevens. Listening to it right now, dear god, this album's amazing.
But yeah, almost every album is leaked a few weeks, or months before its release.
