Exactly.

Bat1 stayed in the charts for over 450 weeks, HCTB dropped out of the charts after 4 weeks. Trying to compare what happened to Bat1 could happen to HCTB is a bit retarded :wacko:

Hey Meat. You can tell that PFL and Living on the Outside had a similar storyline. When are you coming to Perth Australia?

Precisely. So when someone says "well Bat1 started off slow" they're not taking all the factors into consideration.

Bat1 is an album you can't easily forget, HCTB is an album that's easily

forgettable.

That's true, there are much more things music has to compete with these days. I'm a movie maniac and I just can't pass by the DVD & BluRay shelves and I love computer games.

When I was a teenager there was not much aside from listening to music, watching TV and going to the movies.

I think it's much harder to get people interested in music these days, it doesn't represent certain lifestyles and attitudes as much as it used to, it doesn't seem to be that important to people anymore. Plus we have a music industry that apparently rather wants to play it safe and promote talent show "stars" than invest time and money in establishing real and diverse musicians on the market.





Maybe not that long but an album can still remain on the charts for quite a while. As far as I know, Unheilig has been in the German Top 10 for about half a year now, most of the time on No. 1.

HCTB is not forgettable imo. How can you forget such epic songs like song of madness or living on the outside?

Precisely, I wish people would qualify their statements to say "I find the album forgettable" and not "The album is foregettable" because it makes it sound like there's massive support for that view behind them.

What was it R said about reading your post twice through before you post it? Some of these posts are a little carelessly written.

The cds should be there at the UK shows for sure.
