Long Hail the Album!

You guys know how we feel about retreating and having singles be once again the driving force behind an artist's musical output. So it is with great pleasure we recommend this interesting essay, "In Defense of the Album", by Scott Perry.

Things are moving pretty fast these days; we all need to slow things down a bit and add CONTEXT to the content before music becomes completely worthless. We need to build that artist's mythology, build a world to replace what's been lost in the absence of album art and liner notes.

Amen.
