Funny that they mention Kid Rock and the single-song sales being what keeps many labels away. About 10 years ago in Kid Rocks basement I was present when he was laying out his instructions to a new band: Give me 2 good songs, and 10 fillers. This wasn't a revelation in the music industry, it takes a LONG time to produce one good song, and you want to have something for a followup album. However, almost every CD I've ever bought has had only about 20-40% "great" content, and the rest was "eh". This seems to be particularly true for newer acts. The music industry is imploding on itself anyway, they seem forever determined to try to give their customers exactly what they don't want.
