(I hope this is the right forum for this)
As some people called U2's latest album "too safe" and "too mainstream" and "too marketed - sell out" I was wondering how much (if anything) did the sound/promotion of the album have to do with the fact that Interscope bought Island label?
How much influence can a label have on a band's sound and an album promotion? When a band gets a new label, are they under any kind of commitment how much copies of the next album must be sold in order to stay with the label?
