Will Anathema release Singles off the new album?

[Andy_2003]

I hope so, It would be great if they got some commercial success, somehow.

 

[Strangelight]

releasing a single = instant commercial success?

 

[Andy_2003]

no, but maybe it would help?

 

[Strangelight]

possibly, but it hasnt helped too much in the past

 

[intet]

bands like anathema have a weird way of releasing the absolute worst possible singles, like there is some force or conspiracy that keeps them from commercial success. if they do release one, i hope some serious thought goes into it..

it has to be something that the braindead mtv watching youth remember from the first listen, and it shouldn't be selected by someone who has listened to the album to death. bring in some fresh ears!

i could go on, but no one reads.

 

[siderea]

dunno but anathema albums often sound somehow like a whole to me => dunno what single you could pick out... surely not like after having heard the album a zillion times... it gets too close then.

hmm what about the first song on an album. i often skip it on albums (in utero, saviour, the ideal crash) though i don't think it are bad songs... they could do well as singles even... or not?

 

[Aerwen]

Which song of each album would you have released, when you would have been the one who decides???
Just interested...
Especially why...

 

[Sopel]

i think the best promo songs for singles would be: "Panic" (AFDTE) and "Empty" (A4).

 

[toolsofthetrade]

i think a quiet song would do the trick - i havent heard Flying and ... the other one, but Closer could do for a single..?

it might appeal the housewives if they play it daily on prime time fag-o-clock? or sherry round 12 'ey?

 

[Mariner]

well we open an official poll here when the album is out.

 

[Aerwen]

Sorry, just asked about a song of EACH album which reflects it (the whole thing) the best (this is in my opinion a song which should be released as a single...), but who am I to decide !?!

 

[Cerulean]

Release would've been the best single for Fine Day, not Pressure and not Panic either (excellent song but people would think they play this kind of songs all the time). I don't remember what was the single for Alt4, was it Fragile Dreams? Cos that would've been a good choice anyway then. And Eternity is just not an album which you can reach a wide audience with in any way.

 

[rafael]

Me hates singles... cutting out parts of a whole to attract more attention so you can get more money is like selling your soul.

 

[Cerulean]

Hehe you're right one way or another, but again, that's what business is about, sadly.

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

if you can drop a whole part from a song, then it had nothing to do there in the first place

 

[Lenore]

cerulean is your sig from "the 25th hour" movie?

 

[Allan]

btw, what is it Vinny is saying on there before "A Dying Wish" "we are Anathema the beautiful"? Sure sounds like it. Talk about cheesy if that's it.
