Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now?
Nowadays, it seems custom for popular bands (modern ones, I'm not talking about bands that remain popular due to success in the past resulting in cult followings and stuff like that) to follow a certain formula for making a CD.
1. Think of one above-average song.
2. Think of a great song.
3. Think of a good song.
4. Have all of the songs start with either bass or drums. If it starts with drums, add in bass next. If it starts with bass, add in drums next.
5. Have a lead singer that sounds like a teenager who's voice suddenly ceased to mature. Make sure he's good looking.
6. Add in a bunch of filler tracks with little or no effort put into them in hopes that record companies will only pay attention to the previous three items and allow for the securing of a record deal.
