I'm going to support and buy the albums because I think he's a phenomenal artist who pumps fresh blood into the vein of the music but these double CDs and now 2 double CD albums are stupid. This is why these guys wait years to come out with new material because they waste it by cramming songs. I hate to reference Grand Maître but what they did in Franco's day was smart business. It's like crack cocaine, give them a little, make them fiend for it and then give them a little more. Listeners pass over great songs because they don't have the time nor the energy to listen to 2 hour albums.
i think these artists are just trying to catch up and flood the market with new sounds. just 10 years ago people complained of delayed albums and not enough music. i agree it can be tedious listening to such lengthy albums but at least for me, as a fan of the music, i like how maybe two, three years down the line i'm still going back to the album and then falling in love with songs i'd previously skipped.
i definitely understand and partly agree with your critiques though.
