..........being so good.
So tell me what you guys think. To me it seems like bands like Kat, Opeth, Dan's music, and the many other scan. bands put out tons of releases, and for the most part when it comes to Opeth, and Katatonia I love all their muisc. I think it's because, well fuck they have to keep writing in order to make a living. Americans bands can have that one single and make enough money to say fuck it, or take their time making a new album. I mean look at TOOL, (we won't discuss if you like or hate the band, not the issue) a huge american band with an immense following, they are Uber fucking rich, and in most part it is because their fans are drawn to their music, american radio stations play them, but mostly because they came about during a time of a music revolution, and "Sober" was their song that ignited their stardom, same thing with Alice in Chains "Man in the Box," Pearl Jam "evenflow/jeremy/alive" a lot of these bands are good and ahve a following, but they still had what Scandanavians never had, that catchy hit song that was dark, much like Sober or Man in the box, having that hit song doesn't necessarily mean they're a one hit wonder band, but it ignited that stardom and made all their singles thereafter easily accessible and playable on radiostations.
But the Scandanavians just right epic albums that don't cater to those massess or needs (not saying that TOOL or AIC were trying to do that, its just how it happened). So in my theory survival and pure passion for music is what drives the scands, and there constant pumping out of quality albums.....i mean come on TOOL fucking waits 5 or 6 years every release since Aenima, it sucks and it some ways it makes me a lot less of a fan, cuz its like "who they fuck knows? or even fucking cares anymore?"
