Is it true that UK musicians tend to focus more so on creating an entire album rather than American artists who only make 3 or 4 good singles and then add fillers to the rest of the album? mmm...I don't know. Tool and Mars Volta albums are often concept album and are like a single, living creature. And they are american....I think that any single band has its style...
I realize that American artists can create cohesive albums, but it seems to be really sparse lately. It seems like a lot of popular music cares only about singles rather than creating a masterpiece. Idk.
This is partly because it is so easy to buy singles these days on the iTunes. Also for me, when I used to download illegally, it was easier to do it song by song. Nowadays, with higher bandwith, it is easy to do full albums, so I have way more newer albums and way less older ones.
i totally agree about the albums, and i find it so frustrating. even in my itunes i have entire albums and not single tracks. yeah, sure, there are songs that i don't like at all, but it's part of the album and it was meant to be there. unfortunately, though, some artists just release a bunch of songs that happen to be on the same disc, but they really have no business being listed one after another. no cohesiveness
