The End of the Album???

I really hope not. The future isn't so bright for what us as artist love putting together and fans once loved listening too. I guess we either brought it on ourselves as artist, because the industry only wanted singles and that's what we gave. It's been going on now for a long time but the Ipod has set in stone the new format of the album with the playlist and shuffle buttons and now there seems to be no need to create a great piece of work. There are still artist out there who care about the craft of putting something together cohesive, long lasting and brand new. But the art seems to be more based around the same subjects with weak efforts on everything but their single. Now its not even to say i don't enjoy some of the simple stuff we listen too now but when i pick up an album i really enjoy going thru the wolrd the artist has created for me. I guess i really enjoy when i get the best of both worlds of great songs with substance and some stuff that lets me forget about things for a minute.

  1. Its disappointing man but its a different music world. People dont appreciate the time and effort that goes into an album. Graduation is an amazing album!

  2. Ya he changes his sound all the time, it's nice to be in that position where people will actually give you a chance. People hate but at least people listen, if when your a cricket trying to be heard in a city its almost impossible, you have to sound way way far left and force people to hear you or sound a little like someone and then change your way its crazy.
