yep… it’s widely view as their most commercial!

end of thread?

Mr Knoxville

Title: noup

I was badly suprised when I heard semy for a first time.
I couldnt recognise voice, Andy sounds like agg of aliens has jump on his face just that moment. It took many listens when used on that new sound.

Yes, it sounded different and it was at that time that I stopped listening to Therapy? for a good while as they had gone too commercial / poppy for my liking.

I eventually gave in and actually learned to enjoy the album about a year after it was released.

This was discussed on an earlier thread at some point, but if you were to ask me, they also lost a good few fans on Infernal Love because it was more mellow and lacking the humour of Troublegum. The record company caving in just as they released SD also didn’t do them any favours. Then we had Suicide Pact - You First, great album, but totally anti-commercial.

But when you used on one kind sound and singing that kind of change (and new drumer) was shock. Almoust another band.

i don’t consider infernal love commercial sounding in the slightest. “loose” and “stories” aside, i’d say it’s one of their least commercial sounding albums post troublegum. semi detached has much more catchy stuff on it.

am i completely misunderstanding the title of this thread?

Agree with the above 100%

infernal love is not a commercial sounding album. they did that to get away from troublegum.

semi detached was a return to a slightly more radio friendly approach. think of the singles. church of noise and lonely cryin only are the most commercial tracks off that album. they could’ve quite easily chucked out don’t expect roses as the next single but no one was interested.

i’m sorry. this thread is really annoying me. there is obviously some kind of language barrier going on here.

I think a commercial album could kill therapy?
They stopped going in this way to make their own music.
I prefer seeing therapy? playing in small places, for a public of fans

I don’t think Semi Detached was really that commercial at all. A few songs on it were for sure, but if you look at Straight Life, Tightrope Walker, Tramline, Safe…there is quite a jagged sound to the album, for want of a better word. The band said it sounded too commercial around the time of Suicide Pact, but almost without exception every album they’ve recorded since then has been more commercial!

To answer the quesion…I don’t think it would have mattered if T? had realised a more acceptable ablum for either IL or SD. They might have had an easier ride for a while but they still would have slid into commercial obscurity. I just think they are that kind of band.

Yes I’m french. sentimental ? maybe. Of course, I love therapy? music, but I also like the therapy? guys for what they are.
they are true with their music, and with their fans.
A lot of bands would sell their soul to the devil, to be rich and famous

I’ve even sold my soul for a beer that’s not cold…!

You can’t blame them for that tho! Its not the greatest album is it? British bands got lazy and nu-metal jumped in and took over. End.
