"The days of 'blockbuster' breakthrough releases is a thing of the past, and that's what the big labels lived for and depended on, and what they haven't yet figured out how to survive without."The problem is in recent time, there is little substance behind the "blockbuster".... It's basically an empty suit.
Just like the music media shapes public opinion by "validating" certain music as "best", "relevant", or "significant", it has also tipped its hand where anticipation is created before release (maybe with a pre-album single), as if the public would automatically embrace the music. And some of the worst music I've heard in recent time has had such hype applied to it. Often with a consensus parroting the media, "this stuff is great".....
While at the same time, what is released that's actually good is in total obscurity. Often from bands that have no budget to follow it up.
