Less tracks doesn't mean a worse album... Remember, even "Thriller" has only 9 tracks. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-14501865552920717882007-05-11T11:30:00.000-07:002007-05-11T11:30:00.000-07:00Vespertine is garbageVespertine is garbageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-69973288467869450112007-05-10T23:51:00.000-07:002007-05-10T23:51:00.000-07:00I'm all for concise, cohesive, no-filler albums. ...I'm all for concise, cohesive, no-filler albums. Ten songs is fine with me. Very few people have what it takes to make a cohesive 18-song album, not that most artists give a shit about actually creating an "album" nowadays, much less a cohesive one. Actually, the strongest super-long album I've heard in a while is Diddy's; those are pretty solid songs that work well together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-91319498989995199082007-05-09T14:57:00.000-07:002007-05-09T14:57:00.000-07:00Gotta go w/ Big A and Kurt Kobane on this.

And I know back in the day many artists would say the label is only payin for 10 songs, "why the fuck sould I give em anymore?"<BR/> Goin back a few decades tho, 8 or 9 sngs on an album was standard.<BR/><BR/>Finally on HOPE...Bjork said in an interview that HOPE was originally recorded/produced by Timbaland, and that she kept the song and eventually reworked/remixed it. Credits probably keep the contributions he made to the finished track.Roderickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972138059986313559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-60232925666921909872007-05-09T13:07:00.000-07:002007-05-09T13:07:00.000-07:00Sorry but 10 is too short for me, I'll take 12.......Sorry but 10 is too short for me, I'll take 12....<BR/><BR/>though 14-15 is great :DJ Boogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636258096885108800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-10750484904191043722007-05-09T12:06:00.000-07:002007-05-09T12:06:00.000-07:00yup, check the tracklist of so-called "classic alb...yup, check the tracklist of so-called "classic albums" like Slick Rick's debut "The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick", Nas' "Illmatic", N.W.A.'s "Straight Outta Compton", Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle", Wu-Tang Clan's "Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" etc. and u have the proof.<BR/><BR/>plus on a side note: a new artist (in the US) usually gets only paid for the first 10 tracks (including intro, skits) on an album! if u sell good, u re-negotiate...Big-Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276062748697792341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-73272974204674448852007-05-09T11:49:00.000-07:002007-05-09T11:49:00.000-07:00kurt kobane here...hey a full album is 10_12 songs...kurt kobane here...hey a full album is 10_12 songs..a ep is less than 6..it was a bad trend to have over 15 16 songs on a cd...the brat first patinum cd had less than 13 songs,maybe 11...and we loved it!! quality is always better than quantity....when artist put over 12 songs you get a lot of album fillers...if you got 12 songs and you like 6 at least u like half the cd,but if you got 18 songs,and u only like 6 then that project is usually considered wack......just a lil insite from a industry dudeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357227101874268403.post-33306918363019656102007-05-09T11:16:00.000-07:002007-05-09T11:16:00.000-07:00innocence is the best track from the albuminnocence is the best track from the albumAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
