Unless, of course, the band in question wants to have lasting appeal. Singles are designed to hit the market and stick "RIGHT NOW!" where albums have the glorious ability to act as an artistic statement that is fulfilling as an experience. The cream will rise to the top, as they say, even if it takes 25 years to do so, and the bands that release multiple singles that aren't tied together won't fare as well as the artists who release songs with a greater picture in mind. I'm probably missing a great point, but I sort of don't care anymore. I'm about to give up music to go into the more lucrative artistic role of basket-weaver.

But it's definitely a this kind of amazing: http://www.iheartchaos.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/nwzo7s.jpg All of his writing make sense only in the context of each single post. He recently claimed bands have to make money taking their act on the road...but how do you take one fucking single on the road? If you put everything he's written together, it would be one giant contradiction. Maybe that's why he loves singles. Leftsetz is fucking amazing. But it’s definitely a this kind of amazing:
