Some shit that gets to me...
I hate how when there's a band that just got their first major label recording contract (I'll use Switchfoot as an example, even though they suck) and some people have known about this band...and the record company acts like its their FIRST album ever...

I was in Best Buy last night (buying the new Saliva CD for the record) and some ad came on for Switchfoot's album and they're like "In 1987, when this band formed, hardly anyone outside of the California surfing community knew what their name meant. Now, 17 years later, here's their first album! This band is Switchfoot with "Dare You to Move."

It's like are you fucking kidding me? I've known about this band (and their total sucktitude) for AT LEAST 5 years...not to mention the conspicious 17 year gap in Best Buy ad...and their trying to pass this shit off as new?! It's like "We formed this band in 1987...and it was just a garage jam band until our label signed us last year."

Summary, I hate how there is no recognition of other discs made by newly signed artists by big record labels.

"My belly's just a little big, my heinie's just a little big, but bruddah, I'm bad and they know I'm bad." - Dusty Rhodes

Switchfoot is a pretty cool band. I heard their album on internet radio, I may go get it sometime.

Major labels tend not to care about band's prior albums, until such a time as they decide to buy the rights to them so they can make a packet from reissuing them, anyway...

Kinda like how Nickelback "debuted" with one record, released another, and then they reissued a "debut" that was earlier than their previous so-called "debut?"

they mean first albums that are big time. not older albums just big time albums. almost every rapper has albums before their big time albums

No shit, you weeded up asshole. An album is an album, major label or not, is my fucking point.

Yeah, so many reviews are saying Forget What You Know is Midtown's major label debut, but Living Well Is The Best Revenge was released by MCA/Drive-Thru.

But yeah. I hate that. Ra had a record out before their current one, and it's not touched upon...ANYWHERE...If I didn't own it, I'd think it was a fake.
