I think The Dears are successful in that they have a loyal and widely spread fanbase, they just haven't had a song or record that has taken them into the mainstream. Who knows, this new album might provide it?
The voices in my head tell me I'm not crazy

However, one thing has always saddened me about The Dears: why is it that they aren't more successful? Don't get me wrong, they're big in Canada, but why not in the U.S. or the U.K.?
What do you think?
Personally, I think it's because their street-teamers suck so bad. 'Sayin.

I think its because most people (generally speaking) shy away from music that sounds negative, personally I don't focus on whether the music is positive or negative and just listen to the music for what it is. Alot of people I have shown The Dears to have said they sound too negative, unfortunately. Not everyones cup of tea so to speak.
Would you like lies with that?

Yeah its a good album, but I can understand how people could not initially like it. It is a grower.

It's going to end up on my list as well. Probably somewhere around ten or so. |
