I’ve noticed that the majority of bands I’ve loved since I was younger have entirely abandoned their old style for music that feels far more bland and uninteresting. It breaks my heart to no end when a band I’ve loved releases a new album and by halfway through you’re done with it.
Lately this has been happening too often to me. Anyone else notice this with their music selection of choice?
The Postal Service got a cease-and-desist from the United States Postal Service, and that’s why they never dropped another album under that name. It was bullshit, but Gibbard broke up with his gf (the female vocalist on the album) and I guess he didn’t feel it was worth fighting for a side project.
Yeah I now recall reading that.
I also recently read that he is aware that he has never had such an inspired and creative moment in his life since 2003. Whatever the case, I’m glad they dropped that one magical gem and that was that. You can’t top perfection.
