I gotta say I am not a fan of the promo for this. It looks way too mainstream, and it worries me that they might be selling out. But...we'll see with the actual album. It has good reviews, so i will withhold judgment for now, but ITM also got good reviews on the dream and that album was a total sell-out...Maria even said in an interview that they wrote the album more mainstream so they could headline stadiums.
I'm getting the album for this though, for sure.

Why is it that people always think everyone's selling out? I just don't get it. What IS mainstream? All music is different and unique, and if a band wants to do something different with every album, then they should! I don't think it seems mainstream at all. And I don't think THoE is any sort of mainstream, but a lot of people seem to think otherwise. I dunno.. I just think that, regardless, mainstream is something where all the songs sound the same as every other band out there, and I just don't think that true of a lot of the albums people keep saying are sounding so mainstream. Lacuna Coil's music is always unique, as is Within Temptation's. I don't find either of them to have ever sounded even relatively "mainstream".
Frankly, and I'm not saying that you're doing this Aliyah, and I'm certainly not talking directly TO you, but I think a lot of people say that some new music is sounding more mainstream because it supposedly makes them seem smarter, more intelligent when it comes to music.
Sorry. I've been wanting to rant about that for a while...

You know what? What you said, Aliyah, is completely ridiculous.
You should know that music is a business. Bands want to make money. Or would you like to work for free?

Mainstream to me is being in like the top 10 or whatever here. And I've never seen any of these bands even make like top 20 so it's not really mainstream to me. They are just a bit more popular than some underground female fronted band. If I was to ask people not into metal who WT were they wouldn't have a clue. In fact they dont because people are always asking me who NW and WT are
They are hardly in the mainstream league of people like Fall Out Boy.

I agree. LC is far from mainstream and I listen to some mainstream stuff. It's completely different.
