What would be the point of releasing a double album in 2019 when no one buys albums?
Reznor won't even release albums and chooses EPs for some streaming-advantage reason.
Wouldn't say no to one ofc.
Technically streaming benefits albums with longer track listings. I think an album stream counts for 1 unit purchase after 9 tracks or something, so when you see records with 18-20 tracks, its so they get more "album purchases" with one stream of an album.
Trent made his last EP and released it as an LP, so that it got featured with the weekly new albums. They don't feature EPs, they usually toss them in the singles section, so it gets less attention. It has less to do with attention.

Ah ok, well after I posted I remembered something about Drake releasing a really long album to have it count for more. Or something like that.
So there was no real advantage for Reznor releasing his EPs other than creative reasons? I remember reading it had something to do with streaming. But ok.

That being said, all double albums suck, they should be reduced to 12-14 killer tracks
ALL????
Tool fans are raving about their new album that leaked this week calling it a 90 minute masterpiece. Counts as double to me. Also The Wall, Quadrophenia, Exile on Main Street, White Album, Electric Ladyland, Physical Graffiti...
I'm hoping for a 12 track album of Can't Deny Me remixes, followed by a county fair tour as an opening act for Jackyl. Anything better than that will indeed blow my mind.
Very comical to me how many fans already know how much filler a double album would hold. If we were to truly be blessed with a double album it might be best to reserve judgement until you've heard it.

Yep.
From "appreciate every minute, who knows what the future may hold" to "pfft, a double album would suck" in record time.

I see what you're saying, but would you want an extra album's worth of what was left OFF Lightning Bolt?
