If an artist puts out a CD, making a good-faith effort, you haven't been "wronged" if you don't like it, any more than you're "wronged" if you go on a first date and don't click with the person. That's life. You're not guaranteed to be entertained. That guarantee is not possible for anyone to make. Even the movie Titanic was a massive hit, yet is considered a schlock fest by many. You can't please everyone, so it's not really fair to penalize someone for not doing so.
Hell, the song you like today, you may hate next month. The song you hate today, you might love ten years from now when they lyrics are suddenly relevant to your life somehow.
And okay, a CD might suck. But it was probably the best they could muster. Creativity's like that. There's probably not some "fantastic Bush tracks" hiding on a server that they held back for some reason.
It's not like if Porsche intentionally, and deceptively, put a Skoda drivetrain in a Cayenne to increase the profit margin at the customer's expense.
- mattmanser 15y agoBollocks. Absolute nonsense. Every movie is the next summer blockbuster. Every band is the hottest thing since X. Just look at the very selectively picked quotes they put on the adverts and the back of the DVD sleeves. They are intentionally, and deceptively, putting a Skoda drivetrain into a Cayenne. And then getting pissed off when you try and test-drive it.
- jonhendry 15y ago"Every band is the hottest thing since X" Yeah, I don't listen to shite music that gets marketed that way, let alone 'Bush'. Do you actually let movie blurbs guide your viewing? Or buy music because of hype? Really? Lucky Charms aren't actually magically delicious, either.
