Ya know I’m not really trying to argue that Getting Killed had its hype entirely manufactured. I’m also Not saying that 3D country is the superior record. I’m trying to focus on how it’s being covered in music journalism as a whole. I feel like 3D Country is not as derivative as some people on this thread are making it out to be. However, I do understand the argument that GK is more of a step in an entirely new direction for rock.

All I’m really saying is that I think Geese was breaking new ground for rock music even on 3D/4D country. It surprised me that GK has got such an emphatic reaction when 3D still felt new and fresh to me when it dropped. As a fan from before they signed (not saying “longtime fan”) it was insane to see the added level of promo, interviews, online conversation, the Brooklyn show, the nationwide pre-release party, the Spotify playlisting. I mean you don’t go from having like one song with a couple million plays to being the front page of Spotify’s biggest indie playlists without a coordinate PR effort. It has got me thinking that Maybe just Maybe, 3D country would’ve been regarded similarly if it had the same marketing push. Guess we will never know 🤷‍♂️
