When I wrote about having a right to complain, I didn't mean to say you can bring your product back to the music store if you don't like it. But I don't think you can deny that you are a music consumer when you go to a record shop and buy a cd.gareth wrote:I agree with JSP on this one mate. It's not like buying a loaf of bread and finding it's mouldy - so you rightly take it back and complain. Does their role as the "loyal band" mean they can complain about some of the over the top criticism they've had on here this past few days? What do they do if they don't like it - stop releasing anything?
You either like the work of an artiste or you don't - and, as you yourself say, if you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as that really. As JSP says above, and I think I said in an earlier post, they don't "owe" us anything.
I'm not saying PSB owe me anything, but they should understand that a release like Disco 4 doesn't exactly create enthusiasm with longtime fans who bought all these remixes on the original cd-singles. Disco 4 is a reward for the 'not-that-big-fans', I say with all respect.
As for PSB releasing stuff: I'm very pleased that they are still releasing stuff and I do appreciate their output a lot. But they don't HAVE TO release music. It's their choice to continue doing it. They are rich enough to quit music.
I'm happy with every new PSB album, every new song, every new remix. But please allow me to be critical about stuff like Disco 4; milking fans.
