RIP cohesive bodies of work or concept albums in your new publish-or-perish hellworld
- mark-r 6y agoThat was already gone when people stopped listening to music a CD at a time.
- ekianjo 6y agoWasn't that also the doom scenario that was forecast when iTunes launched?
- bleah1000 6y agoBut if you put out a concept album, do you expect it to pay your bills for three or four years? I don't think that's a reasonable expectation. If you want to make a living off music, then you might need to put out more music, or do other things like playing in a cover band or being a studio musician. Compare it to actors/actresses who do hollywood movies, but also do indie films. If you want to make a living, you might not be able to do whatever it is you want, and might need to put out some more mainstream stuff. Only a few people really get to do what they want in the arts and make a living.
