lumpenprol Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I never said they are losing fans, I'm sure they saw a surge of fans over TH. However, I wonder how many of the curious, first time listeners who bought it were converted to fans? I suspect that a lot of those fans were drawn in by the buzz (first new album in X years!) and the marketing, but won't stick around. I think it'll be a sugar rush and then crash, with some of the die hards still around. Don't get me wrong I would love to get excited about BoC again.

Another thing to consider - When BOC last had an album out (8 years ago), how music was consumed was way different than it is today - social media is playing a much larger role in how word of a new album gets spread, etc. I am sure a lot more people that would have never even known about BOC got exposed to TH (and potentially dug up their back catalogue), and might think the newer material is better than say stuff like Geogaddi or MHTRTC.

datastream Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I was kinda surprised they weren't on Coachella's line up this year. Given how long Ae is taking to do their tour compared to previous albums, I've been wondering if perhaps a joint tour is in the cards as that would generate pretty impressive ticket sales. In terms of their last album, I would say that its staying power is pretty weak even though I really enjoyed it at release. There are some great tunes but as a whole it just doesn't grab me (same with TCH). Given the number of used copies on vinyl I see popping up at Amoeba whenever I go there, I'm guessing many feel the same way.
