Okay, as my idea about a single "DT-forum-sample" from Damage Done has gained some modest support, I'll try to push it further now. Here are the rules:
1. Only ONE(1) song will be "pre-reviewed" by us all. If you want to experience the other songs, you know what to do - but keep it out of here, please!
Note: Hours Passed in Exile has been repeatedly recommended and unless someone objects (or subjects
), I choose it as our common song.
2. The aforementioned song will be spread to every regular user here. By regular I mean people who have posted several times on this particular forum and who are known as nice and interesting persons
. In other words, do not spread it to newbies as of yet - they can get it from other places. Elitism? Well, yes - but I feel that is necessary to not piss the band off by spreading their songs illegally all over the world on their own forum.
3. The method of spreading the song should be as follows: Someone here, who has the song in mp3-format and who can send it to others via e-mail or other channels should reply on this thread. Then, people who want to participate should PM that person so that they could together negotiate the best method of file-transfer. Alternatively, if that IRC-channel idea of Misanthrope works well, that can be used as well. However, see "2" before you spread the song to everyone.
4. The chosen song will be discussed in a civilized way on a specific thread. Deep analyses are preferred, but well reasoned comments along the lines of "I like/dislike it because..." are acceptable as well. We can also try to figure out the lyrics, if that seems to be possible.
5. All this is not intented to jeopardize the interests of the band or Century Media - quite contrary. This way we can do what CM should have done in the first place immediately after the leak - ensure that people who want to support the band won't be left into an inferior position against the pirates.
If someone from the band objects all this, I ask him to tell it to us here and we can dump this subject until 22nd of July. If that does not happen, I assume we have the "silent acceptance" by the band to do that.
Comments are welcome.
