Okie I think This will b a summ of my comments but could in some way wrap a but the issue...
In fairness we all think somehow we are doing it somewhat differently or adding our bit, that is the biggest problem, being objective when u r talking about a dear luv 4 music!!
in the end u have 2 b humble enought 2 hear "proper" coments, filter it a bit, analise (like crime said) what can and should (by yer own judgement) b changed... improved if u will!
But u also need 2 change because u feel u need, u should ride the wave, if u stress about doing it different u end up loosing yer soul in yer work, and that's what most of us will get 2, one day u feel that u need 2 let that track take u somewhere, as opposed 2 "..this sounds like XXX so I'll follow the usual "formula" for that style..."
Like I said b4 b different b cause U r and not because u think u should be...
the good and the bad is part of the process, sometimes what u consider now bad was once the best 2 u!! so U learn, error is so much part of the process...
sure most people take the easy way but it's a moral/ art principle that will follow u 4 the rest of yer life... "... my moto is I did it my way..." maybe it's not that different maybe it's just loopy bolloc*s with a tinny different angle but at the end of the day it's my path, the road I need 2 travel, I don't limit my views for sucess or numbers... time will tell... and if it doesn't at least I did it my way and was happy for not selling my soul, doing what I liked the way I liked... that's purelly egotistical...
Being a Pioneer is a very hard thing, no 1 understands u and that is (even if romantic) a very hard thing for any person... in fact the best thing is 2 just b only one step ahead, cause u r a little more into the future but not so far off that no 1 will pay attention (exept when u r dead)...
As for selling a lot a think those artist don't do it differently because they don't want 2 b bothered... a record might have 3-4 tracks... 2 will sell the record the other 2 u can go crazy and show different shi*.. the advent have been bangin' electroish stuff sinde the time at internal... electro wasn't even a genre if u will!!
DO YER THANG the best u can! RESPECT! Learn from every1 (even if it is 2 not make anything similar)!!
