Nope I don't agree. They're STILL a musical project. The first album was great musicaly... so far ahead of it's western counterparts. If that can't be called a musical project then I don't know what can. And PD, NVNBNP, Nich'ya didn't disapoint me... eventhough Nich'ya won't be an international smash hit it's still not a disapointment to me. Because I like the music. Maybe it'll be a disapointment for THEM, since their initial survival depends on the financial liquidity...
Yet I'm fairly convinced that they're capable of hits still in Russia. PD proved that... after a year of virtualy nothing it became a hit. But What I'm saying is that I'd rather see something more alternative... or at least rockish, like they promised. Something that would sound solid, rather then a souless manufactured clone of YSSU/ATTSS or NND/NGGU.
