I’ve never been a fan of their attitude, nor of the way they promote themselves, but you have to give them credit for making great music. But they’re nowhere near as good as Oasis as they claim to be, and they still have a lot to work to gain the recognition they claim to deserve. About the following album, band members have (as expected) only great words: at first, Tom Meighan described it as “psychedelic”,…

It means to offer your CD up as a digital download on the Internet and then ask your buyers to pay how much they think it’s worth it. While Radiohead did manage to create a phenomenon in this music industry, it’s still unclear how this strategy will affect them long term. But one thing’s for sure: record labels should…

Metallica: More Album Details

This is turning into a soap opera already. After they first announced it in February they changed their minds and delayed it, claiming they want to make something great. OK, that’s good, as long as it rocks. Makes sense, good things come to those who wait. But is it that good? Honestly speaking, I have a huge amount of fate in them. As far as I’m concerned, when you think about what kind of music…
