Albums that are too long..
 
Probably a played topic. But still..

Too many albums released that are ridden with fillers. Made to be 17-20+ tracks long to cater for the audience. I dunno, maybe so they feel they get their moneys worth. The art suffers, the album is relatively ruined. Like drinking orange squash with only 1/16 being the orange, rest being water (maybe a bit extreme, but point is there).

I appreciate there are those out there that are long, and good all the way through. But that's the thing, it shouldn't be made a common thing. Cos those albums are in or around masterpieces of sorts.

Like Masters of the Universe by Binary Star. 24 tracks long, but no fillers. All very good to excellent.

So, er, drop your opinions/comments. And list any albums you think were ruined by fillers. You know, being watered down with unecessary tracks.

Er, doesn't bother me 'so much'. It's just a basic point of the industry n what not.

And yes, i do download. All the time. Make own compilations. But the point still stands...

I Wouldn't Mind A 10 Track Album With The Shit Fuckin' Banging For 10 Tracks, Than have A Album With 18 Tracks, And Only About 6-7 Decent Songs....

Plus The Annoying Fuckin Skits...AHHHHHHHHH :P

That's the kind of thing i'm talking about. Artists make longer albums partially for people like him. So it is 'better value' for the consumer. Choosing quantity over quality.

I guess you could always skip the tracks you don't like. But they are usually arranged here and there. And it aint the point anyway.

Anything with D12 is filler.

well....sum skits are funny......and not all artists go quantity over quality.....dre 2001 and eminem show were tight as hell on every song......maybe not classics every track, but still good.....the worst song on the eminem show (in my opinion) is...damn cant choose actually, thats how good the tracks are...each has its good points....same for dre 2001, and 2pac All eyez on me...who can say that had crap tracks? they were all good....

plus sum skits are funny, lyk the steve berman ones and the public service announcements

Heh. Yeah, all of 3 minutes or so. To make a general point.

And it still stands. I know all about downloading. But you see, that aint the point.

wogzta - Dre 2001 had some crap tracks on it.
