Is the album now just a passion project?

AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast

In today's episode I discuss the idea that the album itself, one of the most defining things of modern culture is becoming a passion project, how deep cuts can just get lost completely and how the streaming format encourages endless singles. How this affects the vision of artists and how with touring becoming so expensive bands revert to greatest hits sets for festivals. Is making a full length right now actually detrimental to the grim business of driving numbers.
