For Fans of: The Black Dahlia Murder, The Red Chord, The Acacia Strain[views:1500][posts:15]______________________________ [May 5,2008 12:57pm - BSV ""] random thought. I know it's been discussed before but it still drives me crazy. Stocking CDs of all these deathcore bands with stickers that read crap like that-it just doesn't add up. At least Moribund Records does it right. |
| _____________________________ [May 5,2008 1:03pm - Yeti ""] stickers like that deter me a lot. it seems mindless to me, like "who needs to research, if we tell you you'll like it, YOU'LL FUCKING LIKE IT!" |
| ___________________________________ [May 5,2008 1:05pm - RichHorror ""] My favorite has been 'For fans of HARDCORE in the vein of Pantera and Lamb Of God'. |

| _____________________________ [May 5,2008 1:09pm - BSV ""] exactly! I loose respect for labels who pull shit out of their asses like that. especially when it comes down to mooching off the success of something totally irrevelant. |

| ___________________________________ [May 5,2008 1:18pm - Kinslayer ""] "for posers and scene kids..." |

| __________________________________ [May 5,2008 3:58pm - dreadkill ""] it's lazy marketing but it seems to work |

Its always the bands that say they are differnt that have a very typical breakdown after the first 4 measures. |

I always thought it was ridiculous that 9 out of every 10 Relapse Records releases had a "For Fans of The Black Dahlia Murder" sticker on it...but it REALLY, REALLY fucking got to me when I saw it on a Brutal Truth CD. How the fuck does that happen? Seriously? |
