I agree with this 100%. If you like the band or not, I'll use Rush as an example. They didn't have a "hit" album to 2012 and that was their 4th release.

If it was today the wouldn't have even made it to "Caress of Steel" (which I rather like)

But, the label stuck it out till "Moving Pictures"...can you imagine how many private jets, houses, eight-balls, and golf courses that thing bought and that was just for the suits? LOL

Digital piracy ruins art. It's a fact.
