I disagree with you Hugh that artists usually create the album as an inseperable whole, and also with the assertion that there aren't a lot of albums consisting of a few good songs and lots of useless fillers

My issue is "filler" is totally subjective. One persons trash is anothers treasure. I have never recorded a "filler" in any of the records I've made. The concept just doesn't exist to the artist or producer, just to the listener or perhaps record co. exec. Each song is like a child. Say an album by a major act has "fillers" written by ten different people. To the writer, the 'filler' is their livelyhood. A child they gave away to another artist.
Calling songs "fillers" is actually quite insulting, and ignores the subjectivity of taste.
Re. the album - I never said it was inseperable. It's a whole comprised of conjoined individual units. Like the Trinity if you will
The songs are meant to stand alone, but are created within the albums context. Artists move on from album to album. Albums have an "identity".
Good to read you Sarah. Be safe and well. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]
