I meant why put money into something you have low expectations of? The problem with LP and the LPU is this.
What might very well of started off as a concept to keep close with fans has changed with the bands popularity. They have the perfect money making scheme/scam or whatever you want to call it.
The band targets a fairly young and impressionable audience in the early - mid teens, teeny booperism occurs in teens, hense the name. This is when a person falls in love with a certain thing and buys into everything and is very impressionable, the LPU is just another outlet for these people to buy into to signify they are a bigger fan then someone else.... great one.
The catch 22 is LP promise NOTHING in return, you have nothing promised to you.... your essentially buying the mystery box & the person that goes for the mystery box never wins. They dont say specificly that you will get new stuff, just exclusive stuff & as long as its not avalible threw another outlet at time of release it is indeed exclusive. They give you a cheap ass t-shirt and other fabric and probably tin made stuff as all fanclubs do (as it costs **** all to produce) this 10 live track compilation shows a band holding back it's material for a further B-Side odds n bobs and rarities collection at a premium rate so just cast off another average live set which.... would given the chance probably be released in a digi-pack DVD combo by the time LPU8 comes out when it no longer is needed to be exclusive.
People that buy into stuff blindly should expect to be dissapointed & if their lucky get a nice suprise.
