Quality of Albums

ZacCrain · 19th October 2003, 09:04

CD Sales Volume is simple...

If the record companies put out even halfway decent albums, then people would buy them. No one is going to buy a $15-$20 CD for 1 decent song.

*Note to Record Companies...
Put out albums with 11 good songs... and watch sales skyrocket

Yep, that about sums it up..

i don't own a lot of albums with 11 good songs on them. even albums i'd call "good albums"...

Get Mellon Collie of the Infinate Sadness then!

mellon collie and the infinite sadness doesn't have 11 good songs, but this is hardly the place to be debating it...

I dont agree with that, albums generally consist 70 to 80% of good songs. If you only like one song on it, you either should buy the single or not buy the album at all. Perhaps a good idea is to download a few of the songs before to see if they are good enough.

Theoretically... that's what about 10-20% of downloaders say they're doing... I am one of them... I do buy albums... but only from fellow artists at their shows. Then I know he/she is making the money on the deal... not some tone-deaf exec who's already worth millions. The best bands are the one's who haven't been discovered by Record Companies yet anyway.

Support your local music scene!

I bought Michelle Branches second album after downloading her first. I am happy with the first but disapointed in the second.
