There sure are way too many artists with sprawling discographies that are ok at times but far from essential.

To paraphrase something or other; never has so much benefitted so little people... It's as if... Pattern recognition is on the run; Derrick Mays once said; Singapore can never make a Beatles or a Rolling Stones; you ain't got no rebel alliance; if you're so comfortable; there is no reason to change the status quo... No one seems motivated enough; there's always reasons and justifications upon each other... Computers can think; at the speed of atoms; but they can never feel...

this is not about concept albums. It is about a cohesive suite of songs, arranged in a specific, well-thought out way, that maximizes the enjoyment for the listener.

It's all about technics and machines. Today you don't need expensive studio equipment and engineers who know to run it, only to record some songs, so you don't need to spend time for it. Play around with some beeping programs and burn it on cd-r, and also the manufacturing of real cds or vinyls is cheapier as ever. Everybody can do it, it's not a professional's key. The much more work for a good Album leads to products which look like nearly the same, so why spend so much more time and money for the minimal difference?

I think yr right. For while I've thought that it's great the ANYBODY can now record a CDR that sounds as good as an album, but at the same time it sucks because the market is flooded with so much cheapo product that it sort of devalues things.

And this liberation leads to the underground scene we have today where bands release a new set of jams every few weeks, often sounding the exact same as what they've did before. I think it would benefit these type of bands if they just tried to sum everything up in a few albums. Of course this wouldn't apply to a band like Sun City Girls where it's certainly not possible to sum them up with only a couple of records.

Why put 12 killer songs on one album when you can put three on one album and fill the rest up with semi-good tunes thus creating 4 albums instead of 1.
