The 70s and the present days are total different. Nowadays, you have much more other entertaining systems such as Internet, TV and much more other music. The budget of people hasn't increased that they could buy everthing they want. In other words, we have a oversupply of enterainment in contrary to restricted budget and, free time and attention. In the 70s I assume you have had much less diversity in everything compared to today and less media channels.

I really don't expect an album staying in the charts for such a long time as bat1 in the present days.

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. So a lot of my limited leisure time is devoted to that. It was just a few years ago that I rediscovered my love of music, one of the reasons was YouTube. 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.

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.

Boy ,do I disagree with statement. It wasn't until we played the bat songs live the record started to sell. They are flying out of the shows after we have finished. It ain't over Dude and don't you believe it is . I worked 10 months to break Bat. If I hadn't you would have never it.

You might find it forgettable, but the vast majority of people on this site do not. I'm one of those who do not.

robgomm · 30 Aug 2010, 12:21

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.

AndrewG · 30 Aug 2010, 13:03

Is HCTB being sold at the merchandise stands at the shows? I remember the CHSIB cds flew off the merch stands back in 04. I'm sure it would help/work. I am more convinced by the live performances of the songs.
The cds should be there at the UK shows for sure.

Yes, imo, folks should use "imo" a bit more when stating their opinion ...

I hope so! I took my best friend last time and she didn't love Meat but she only knew the songs from Bat and Iwdafl and I'm sure after hearing the songs they would be more likely to be it after the show than at a cd shop after where it could be passed by

Most people after a show are more concerned with getting out of the car park first, instead of wanting to buy anything.
