Attempts like Beyond get overshadowed by generic sequels. That's what people want. Listening to Bieber and Lady Gaga instead of Beethoven. Not so much pleasing to the ears but easy to process. /rant |
It is interesting that you picked Beethoven as an example, who was pretty much a Rockstar (pun intended) of his time and overshadowed other composers with immensly popular work.
Just saying.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
