Here’s an interesting article that has provoked much discussion over at the IndieHeaven forums.

The Death Of The Album

The author’s summary:

As for the act, the goal is a GREATEST HITS ALBUM!

Yup, release fewer tracks on a more regular basis. THEN maybe sell all your best at one cheap price...as a matter of CONVENIENCE!

I don’t want to hear about economics, I don’t want to hear about art, the album is history, FINITO! That’s not how people listen anymore. And the public is always right. You’ve heard that axiom, HAVEN’T YOU?

Do you agree or disagree?
