Curious how everyone else is feeling, but I'm dreading the prospect of 'Drops' for the upcoming new music releases.
They were a nice in between filler these past couple years and a great way to celebrate/refresh classic tracks to give them their due. They were merch focused rather than music focused, but they all had the cultural weight to support that (and I'm always glad to get a few more tracks from the archives).
Merch has become a big focus of modern music releases, but it feels weird for a single track that doesn't have much stature yet, like it's trying to force it. If we're lucky, we might get 4 drops this year, which would leave us with... a short EP worth of music and a mountain of questionable merch.
I get that I'm spoiled from Drift Series 1 which was totally music focused and an overload of content, but after that huge celebration of music, something seems really out of touch here if this is the way it's going (and that could equally mean me).
