i agree, and i think it's because they start paying attention to what the
magazines & MTV say about them. they start believing their own hype rather
than seeking out sincere places to take their music. that's my opinion,
anyway.
the only source of music "news" and reviews that's worth it's weight these
days is mailing lists like this one. you get the poop straight from the
people that buy the records. let's not forget folks that the mainstream
music press gets the music for free. hence the unjustified hype. make
someone pay their own hard-earned money on tunes, and review content would
probably change considerably in the press. of course there is that whole
thing about advertising...
again, just my humble opinions.
