Quality > quantity.I'm sorry but putting out an album of ten tracks, under 50 minutes long is unexceptable. I respect him for trying to keep the message of the album and not putting filler but this is a major release, not a mix tape or an LP. If he had two more quality songs he would have a great album as it stands it is to short to have permenat staying power as you get burnt out listening to the same 45 minutes of music over and over. I really like the album and have been listening to it a lot but I drive an hour or more a day and I have already had to find other music to listen to as it was becoming played out to me. On his longer CDs even after you skip the one track you don't like you have a solid hour of music.
The moral is, I love the creativity but I think it's a cop out not to make a full cd. When was the last time you watched a hour long movie and though this was awesome, I loved it, it explained a great story, I'm so glad it wasn't longer?
I fully believe this is a marketing move so they can release an updated deluxe album in the fall with the tracks they held back.
Did you even re-read your post before hitting submit? Are you seriously complaining that if the album had two more tracks than it would make an "album"?
Why would you want to have skip a track you don't like? Are you actually requesting the album to have filler?!
