They could have made each album side 2-3 tracks and it would have been a hit.
You're right: there are good ideas but not developed, or stretched out too long or just jammed in alongside other, more sub-par stuff. It's too much to try to take in; also, it's something I have no interest in taking in because it really just seems incredibly indulgent, like they decided this is what we're doing and if you don't like it **** you. Arrogant.
