Drake’s New Album Goes Gold in One Day • Page 4

Hah, I date a violinist with a doctorate and like Blink-182. 100% agree with this.

 

I'm pretty much 100% in the classical realm -- orchestral and chamber music are my big things. I'm trying to expand though into jazz and more contemporary classical, different/unconventional types of chamber ensembles, etc....you really gotta be able to do it all to be marketable as a player.

 

Agreed....it grates on me a lot when classmates in my theory or musicology courses so blatantly talk about Coldplay, Bieber, whoever as lesser artists.

 

I played jazz trombone and it was a lot of fun. I sucked but it was a lot of fun hahaha.

Anyway, this isn't my favorite Drake album by any means and I don't enjoy listening to it much but I'm happy for him, those are huge numbers to do and continues to show the changing of the guard and just how far he's ascended into the "upper echelon" once held by Jay and Wayne. Looking forward to the next release (and wondering when we're gonna hear those songs Kanye mentioned having with him and Future (probably never)).

 

I'm in the minority that feels their self-titled is their best and most mature release to date, and am really excited to hear what Matt Skiba brings to the table, as I LOVE Alkaline Trio. New single is

 

I need to dig into their back catalog too, been meaning to for several months. I'm pretty bad about stuff like that

 

I think that's the majority opinion haha, at least most people around here seem to favor untitled

 

High/Low is pretty much 90s Alternative rock but they've become much more melodic and "indie" sounding.

 

Pretty sure that's the majority opinion.

 

Nice, if it's in the vein of their new album I'll be all over that

 

I know a lot of people seemed to like Enema the best in other circles.

I also always preferred Mark to Tom haha

 

I'm a TOYPAJ guy myself, and I prefer the Tom songs in general, even through Neighborhoods.

 

Have you heard "Popular"? It's still probably their biggest hit to date.

 

Not that I know of, but maybe I did at some point without realizing it was them

 

plug...plug plug plug plug...look at my neck i got a karat plug

 

Started a thread on them awhile back

Nada Surf • forum.chorus.fm

 

yes i hope he out sells adele

 

For whatever reason, I've soured on drake just from the things his name gets attached to recently. I love his records but I haven't had the urge to check this one out yet.

Insane that he's doing these numbers.

 

literally not possible

 

interesting thing about these numbers is at least some of that 600k is from hotline bling's stream counts from the last seven months soooo everything about this is gonna be weirdly opaque and hard to actually parse

 

really?

 

adele sold 3 million albums in a week. no one has ever done that and probably never will again.

 

damn i really wonder why

 

Because she is amazing?

 

she is meh
