This is what I was going to say.
An album is just a medium in which to deliver the artists work. And while Marshall McLuhan may contend that
the medium is the message I don't think this is the case and nor do I think that the album format is 'sacred.' What
is sacred is seeing the artist perform their work in a live setting. Nothing beats it.
