are the major label companies ruiing music? every bands first ‘album’ is always the best…then they change
February 92010
it seems the labels want to dictate how a band is and they know there are enough dumb people to buy it too
Actually, many of the major artists are dropping their contracts with major labels. With online song purchases and file sharing, the major labels are less in control than they have been in the past.

most bands first album is their best because they’re not under pressure to duplicate something when they record it….by the time they record their second release they are stressed out by deadlines and trying to do as good of a job as the first disc

The number one reason that some (not all) artists have that sophomore slump is that most of what makes up their first album is ideas they’ve been mulling over for years. After they’ve used up their reservoir of ideas, they have to think up something new, and without the luxury of time. Most bands don’t want to lose the fanbase their first album managed to build, so they try not to delay the second album too long and sometimes just rush it. Pressure from the labels can exacerbate this, but it happens to independent artists as well.
However, a lot of times a band’s second album can benefit from the same process. After the first album gets their overcooked ideas out of the way, they start to mature as they’re forced to come up with something new.
I’m going to stop now rather than going on with a long rant about the major labels. Rest assured, however, that they’re on the way out, they know it, and they’re resisting it as strongly as they can.
