The Album vs. The Single

Have bands these days gone astray from the artistic product of the album as a whole? There was a time where the album was the thing. Bands would work for years to try and perfect the album as an entire piece of music, weaving in themes now, but there has been a shift. These days, thanks to itunes and the Internet, the bands we know and love have become consumed by the single.

Sure, the single has been a popular function of radio for a year, but it was always to promote an album, but these days the single is just that: it’s one single entity. It’s one single thing that matters the most. There are downloads where the album never has to be purchased. This is incredible difficult for an artist as it creates music that tends to pander as opposed to music that is from the soul of it’s creater.

Still, there are some bands who have rejected the idea of music as a single form and song on the Internet. There are plenty of artists who still feel as if the album was the thing and they quantify their sound with sweeping melodies all across the board.

The digital downloads are going to new albums but they are facing an issue when it comes to getting them the exposure that they need. Now with the single song itself being the thing, the album struggles to get the attention it deserves. That’s the worst part of it all.
