I don't think their mainstream.I just think they wan't more sales,for their new album,becuase I doubt anyone brought their new album.IMO It was a big dissapointment. I feel bad for them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
theyve allways been mainstream. what s your point? you like it dont you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wouldn't say mainstream. I love them yes,but their latest album contained nothing new. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i like 100th window more than mezzanine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't say they are mainstream. s club 7 are mainstream. i think it is good that something like that gets to no.1 in the album charts. i see it as a bit of education for the knobbers buying justin timberlake. |

"mainstream" isn't necessarily bad...! |
||||||||
|

who cares... they are great |

I listened to the album once, I didn't mind it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh no :-o I didn't realise they were that mainstream :-/ Well that's it, i'm throwing away all my massive attack-albums :-p ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that justin timberlake song "cry me a river" is really well produced. listen to the backing next time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i wouldnt say massive attack are mainstream - or do i mean commercial - because mezzanine took a lot of listening to for me to like it. Pop albums are usually liked on their 1st listen, because of the catchy tunes/lyrics/whatever-they-use-now. 100th window seems to be (at least vaguely) similar to mezzanine, so i dont think they've become to mainstream. But having said all of that, they have become well known - not sure if there is a difference between mainstream and well known |

i hear their music more in movies and on tv commericials, i've never heard it on the radio or mtv.. i dont think they are too mainstream in the US just used for advertisements and crap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well really what im saying is people may be familiar with them only as "oh that song from the commercial ive always wanted but didn't know the name" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to be honest the new album doesnt sound like massive attack at all!!!!!!!!! and where the fuck is TRICKY? i`m really dissapointed so i fuck 100th window and listen to protection! btw: yes they allways where mainstream... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tricky left two or three albums ago. what the fuck does mainstream mean - theiy're poular - there is nothing wrong with that .. they still operate on their own terms and do their own thiing - they make their own music and have artistic control . the word mainstream means nothing - who cares - i heard aphex three timews on some cooking prograqmme the other day - very commercial or whatever - doesn'mean he's som e puppet for a big corporation who has to do whatever the accountants tell him or any of that crap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"and where the fuck is TRICKY? " He's got his own albums now,guess what name his under????? TRICKY! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually about 6 or 7 albums maxinquaye nearly god premilleniumtension angels with dirty faces yuxtapose blowback and lots of eps and some compilations |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck! i know that tricky has his new solo albums! but he was present on blue lines ,protection and mazzine(or whatever...) and he is not present on 100th window!(4th album btw) so the sentence "tricky left two or three albums ago. " is not true!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was on blue lines and protection that ws almost 8 years ago now -wasn't on mezannine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not in mezzanine protection was his last colaboration (1994) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's two or three albums ago hot head |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so actually 9 years ago |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if we count 100th window god dam you are right...... but i was sure that tricky was on mezz.... im not hot head fuck fuck fuck:):):):):):):) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but wait.......only the part "tricky left two ....." is real but if you threat that like mathematical function "or" you are right again....... fuck fuck fuck im not a hot head :):):) |
||||||||

mainstream = popular massive attack = popular massive attack = mainstream not that it means anything at all, mind you... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it does if the the biggest, most evil corporate empire of your nation is flogging their stuff as giveaways... |

|
|
did any of aphex'es releases ever reach chat Potential? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that doesn't take away from the music though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i meant CHART Potential, sorry |
||||||||
|
|

I didnt say that...just NZ has a weird relationship with Massive Attack..the whole popular Culture seems to reorient itself around it's every new release...every Cafe has to be blasting the new Massive Attack album...every commercial has to play it..every two bit jingle writing hack has to ape it...until the mere mention of the band makes you go aargh..with this one it will be especially sad..because Massive Attack are doing some nice glitchy bits in there from what I have heard so far... |
||||||||
|
|

|

Man, you have to lay off the crack ;) |
||||||||
|

|
|
anyone heard the new akufen remix of special cases? rather good, incidently... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know, mainstream can be good... it's the music that matters, not how many people listen to it... some people's attitudes about popular music, how it all sucks, is just close minded... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah what he said.. Ketchup Song is the grooviest, hippest thing around..we are just too blind to appreciate it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, well you already responded to the points I made... still, some people are close minded to mainstream music... just because something is popular doesn't mean it sucks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shrug, I didn't say all mainstream music... just that it CAN be good, sometimes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"...every Cafe has to be blasting the new Massive Attack album...every commercial has to play it..every two bit jingle writing hack has to ape it..." lol, that sounds pretty cool actually :-p But i can see how it could get annoying after a while. I think MA get heavily promoted all over the world, but what you're describing sounds a bit extreme. |

mainstream is bad, i like ALTERNATIVE. yay. What a crock. |

No, i prefer the flamenco ;-) Say it's Saturday night in Spain. They go out dancing. You think they do the flamenco? JERRY: "I would think. So you could call a woman for a date, ask her if she's free for Dinner and a flamenco? JERRY: You don't flamenco on the first date! Boy, I wish the flamenco was popular here. JERRY: Yeah? Would you do it? Yes, I think I would. |

I suppose being accused for child porn is pretty mainstream- all musicians are doing it these days :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I knew you'd have an affinity for it, because it's the dance of a very proud people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, what a sellout! ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well at least 'being accused' of it is mainstream :D |
