Sure. Whatever. The way they ship something isn't the problem. If you have 8 songs you think are good, you should release them. It's this artificial length we've tricked ourselves into believing has merit because, ya know, "art." Or worse, the A&R guys think will be a big hit!

There was a guy on one of Fantano's "Let's Argue" segments who said "The only way an album can get a 10 is if it's a concept album" and I can just see this smug **** who thinks that. I just knew so many of them in college and I always remember saying "yeah, maybe" and thinking "I hope this ****ing ******* gets hit by a bus so someone worth the oxygen can take their job."

It's the sort of person that thinks Dream Theater isn't Prog enough. Or insert whatever band is the easy-dunk for the elitist crowd. Whatever, it's the bus lane for all of them, I say.
