It's all about the same revenue wise, if not better, artists putting their music on the internet. When actual albums sales are slow, they're benefitting from all the eMusic servers, and the fat contracts & exposure their labels are appeased with when they lend their artist to the service.
I wouldn't complain if I were an artist. Besides, touring and merch is where all the real money is at.

I can't stand them, s'all. I think they are one the worst sounding bands I have ever heard in the 25 years i have been alive. The lead singer's voice along with the whining guitarist backing up makes my ears hurt. I've heard cats f*ck with more harmony than them. I prefer real metal.
To each their own I suppose.

Josh Homme, Steven Wilson, Mikael Akerfeldt, Jason Lyttle are all constants. Rivers Cuomo, Thom Yorke. Not picking at your choice, just saying.
I don't think The Fragile is underrated really, just bombed financially. To each their own on this matter though.
