I think the first commenter hit the nail on the head:
"Too many folks record a simple album, whack it on myspace and tunecore for 10 minutes and then wonder why no-one has bought it. Having patience and perseverance is a key ingredient to success in any venture, especially music. Give yourself time to get good at it!"
The speed in which everything is moving and the shear amount of music laid before us kills the music absorption. Before the music is even allowed to be absorbed, most listeners have moved on to something completely different, Monty Python?
Personally, I still "acquire" albums, legally and illegally, and still listen to them mostly as albums, granted I do skip through a majority of the garbage. But I try to give multiple listens understanding my personal absorption rate and trying to give new music a chance.
But I think it comes down to over-saturation, too many iPods. Just like the world needs population control, maybe we need music control. LOL
I agree, Jason. Of course, you and I come from an era where the statement an artist was making with the entire album release was as important as the individual songs contained therein. Unfortunately, that concept is practically dead at this point.
What's an album? :)
