look rob, maybe 2 people might like an album and you can say "yeah, only two people like it, so it's not important" but if those two people take that album as inspiration and go do something else, then that album is a way better album than thriller or any other billion seller.
like sy, the fact that only 4000 people have bought the first ep (which, by the way, is a wrong figure since it probably talks about the blast first or sst version of the album and not the dgc reissue), and yet it got reviewed in pretty much every single music publication in the world and talked so much that it seems like more people are into them, that speaks volumes more than records that actually sell like crazy but are forgotten in a year or so.
like, are people still talking about how fucking groundbreaking was alanis morissette's jagged little pill? did she get to ask to play the whole thing in concert, like slint were with spiderland?
