Excellent point. Just like folks should take it with a grain of salt if they aren't invited to a soft opening of an upcoming restaurant. The reason these establishments have soft openings is to invite folks close to them for honest feedback and/or the right media folks are there to promote the food when the doors officially open. It's not a new concept at all. But it still happens too in a lot of industries to this day.HughFreakingDillon said:album listening parties are totally normal for bands. it's like a wrap party once a movie is completed shooting, just like we often have at our own jobs. people go out for beers to celebrate a completed project. this isn't rocket science. all industries do this type of thing. the band isn't doing any "cock tease" to their hardcore fans. they likely couldn't give a rip if the fans found out about it or not.Post edited by bmurray06 on0 -

My brother got to go to a listening party decades ago for Slaughter 😆 he was the manager of square circle record store at the time. I was supposed to be able to go and he said they changed to no extra guests and I cried .0

Of course, it happens often, but when it happens you have to make sure that no newspaper writes about it, that don't have too many people who could talk, as happened, and that there's no one at the back door recording everything.bmurray06 said:

Releasing an album is traditional.Gibson said:
I wondered the same. I feel like "dropping" an album became a term with streaming services and popular music. I know there's more logic to it than my inkling, but I also remember "releasing albums" to be the phrasing.MM70435 said:
Did albums "drop" back in 1993? It seems like everything used to be "released" and then all of a sudden maybe 10 or so years ago the term "released" was replaced with "dropped".mcgruff10 said:
No. It’s not like waiting for vs to drop in 1993. Listen to one of their studio albums or bootlegs to pass the time.my_wave said:Anyone else kinda depressed that people (mostly entitled elitists/etc)... have heard the entire album and we haven't gotten anything, not a single, name of the first single, album title, release date, artwork, (nothing official for any of the above anyways) literally nothing, almost like they don't care, not that they have too, but it's kinda depressing knowing people have heard it and hardcore fans are just sitting here waiting knowing there's a finished album people have already heard... I'd be more hyped if there was even just an official announcement to the fans, but there's nothing... and I'm holding off on listening to the 'bootleg'... I guess I'm old school and prefer to hear the official release,... life is hard for a lot of people right now and feeling like your favorite band doesn't care kinda sucks, maybe I'm just having a bad day... or maybe it's just me, but for me it's depressing... sure I'll delete this when we hear something,...
the waiting drove me mad...
torture follows reward follows torture...
Dropping an album was used when there's little to no advance announcement.
But now drop has slowly become more common as its meaning has become washed out.0 -
“Drop” comes from hip-hop, it’s different slang. But because hip-hop spent years driving US pop culture some of the slang terms stuck.mookeywrench said:
