I disagree. Lady Gaga made a crappy album and it sold a shit ton.

Re: Album Discussion: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

My point is, if I heard the leak and liked it, I would have bought it.

You know what is really driving down CD sales? Crappy CDs, as ANKOF adroitly points out. The simple solution is to not produce crappy albums.

Re: Album Discussion: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

The pre-order fuck up is actually the real reason. I ordered. Listened to leak. They canceled the pre-order, and I elected not to buy it again.

My point is, if I heard the leak and liked it, I would have bought it. I have done so many times. However, this music just doesn't warrant purcasing. Thus, it was definitely the quality of music that caused me not to buy it.

Meh. You buy two if you like it so much. I will buy a ticket to support the band. I'm not buying CAMS. Next.

i did buy 2 thank you very much

and dude, it's fine if you don't like the album, i can understand why

but saying that you didn't buy the album because you didn't like what you heard from the leak is actually a perfect reason to blame lower cd sales on the leak.

that's all i'm driving at there.

Re: Album Discussion: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

I did. Two different formats, too...because I like variety. And I don't even know if I'll like the album or not. But that's how much I like dredg.

And like I said...it was just a thought.

"They'll blame it on the leak, but I blame it on sub-par music from a band I love."

but if it wasn't for the leak, you wouldn't have known it to be 'sub-par'. that seems to be pretty good justification to blame it on the leak right there.

this leak is probably going to hurt them way more than any other leak has, since it's turning hardcore fans away from buying their albums...which they could have counted on from previous leaks.

i dunno. you don't like it, that's fine. but if you enjoy a single track on this album, at least buy that one off itunes or something. if anything that'd be a better way to let the band know what songs were appreciated on the album and which ones weren't.

Re: Album Discussion: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

I've bought every album they have made that is worth my money. This one was certainly not. I originally bought the pre-order that got axed. In the meantime, I heard the album. Sorry, guys, but I'm not buying it.

They'll blame it on the leak, but I blame it on sub-par music from a band I love. The leak just saved me from being pissed at them for spending money on it.

Ditto. And I'm not refraining from buying the record to spite the band; I just decided, after listening to the leak for a couple weeks, that I'd be embarrassed to have it in my collection. I honestly think I'll be much better off in the long run pretending this album doesn't exist and continuing to enjoy the hell out of the old records (a couple of which I bought two copies of at release, which makes me feel a bit less guilty this time). In keeping with that, I've already deleted the leak off my hard drive.

Re: Album Discussion: Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy

Maybe they figured that by doing a more simplistic record, they'd get a little more success, and in turn, make more money. The other way obviously hasn't worked for them...at least, not yet. Maybe CAMS is their passive aggressive way of saying Fuck You to the world. Not to anyone in particular, but just people in general. Doesn't matter what they say in interviews...they're just words. They're intelligent people who could easily put on a poker face and lie through their teeth to the media. We don't know what's really going on inside their heads. Or maybe they're not hiding anything at all. Who knows. But if the people really love their earlier work as much as they say they do, then this small bump in the road shouldn't really be anything to be taken too seriously, especially when you take the big picture that is the almighty overlooked dredg into consideration. But people seem to be moving on and other people have already moved on, so that's good. Meanwhile, I'm just waiting for the physical record to arrive so I can listen to it...

this.

Well, you could just spend the money on CAMS and think of it as more money going towards your purchase of their other records to help the band out even more than you already have. I mean, they obviously didn't strike it rich with any of those records and wouldn't you agree that they are basically priceless? I mean, you buy a record once and you get to listen to it countless times for free over and over again until the end of time (theoretically). If you think about it, the money you spend on a record (or even a "mega bundle") is pocket change. I don't care how much money you make. I don't even make $9 an hour and I still stand by that statement. Sure, it would be nice if more people would buy their shit once, so that other people wouldn't feel so obligated to spend twice as much...but they aren't.

Just a thought, that's all.
