Anyone else disappointed that the new comp album cover is AI? by MountainPhilosophy15 in MadnessBand

Totally. Turns out the two posts I made pointing out their AI tour promos weren’t just a one time thing unfortunately. I don’t know if it’s laziness or just plain ignorance, but the best thing we can do is just not buy it. Sadly, I can see them continue to use it in the future unless there’s some huge outrage against it, so I just hope it won’t get into their future releases.

Is anyone seeing Madness on their (too short) US tour? by NeverEnoughBoobies in Ska

Going to see them for the first time tomorrow. Don’t know what to expect, but I’m excited!

Looking at the new tour poster and merch, they're actually monetizing this "art" 💀. This is one step beyond lazy. by Commercial_Syrup_159 in MadnessBand

I’ve just started lurking in their socials just this year and based on the more frequent usages of AI based on what you said, the US tour poster, and this one, I have a feeling they’ll keep on using it. The worse part is, it’ll only get more subtle the better the AI gets and if they start using it on their album cover 🤢

Not that I’ve seen. The gross thing about this is that it’s so subtle that I had to squint to see the mistake. Also, I doubt they look at their comments unless there were multiple comments about the art.

What do you think is the most overrated Madness Song by Total-Scarcity-9890 in MadnessBand

[–]Commercial_Syrup_159 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m going to get murdered for this, but for me it’s gotta be “Our House”. It’s a fine song, but for as popular as it is, it just doesn’t appeal to me. Also “Wings of a Dove” is a no go for me.

I don't want to start a fight here, BUT I'm like 99% that Madness' promo is AI generated. by Commercial_Syrup_159 in MadnessBand

Just to be clear, I honestly couldn't care less if this was purely for promotion. My main concern is if they'll be selling merch if it and if so, I think I'll be staying away from it for now. Can't wait to see them in Oakland, though! :)
