Quick question: Why put 37 songs on an album? 2 hours is taking up so much of my playlist. I ain't got time for dat!

Morgan Wallen does it because it allows him to have longer album cycles to tour on. He can release an album, tour, or do whatever while singles get released to radio from that album over a longer period of time. And if you look at charts, he dominates the top 10 with several songs. Something that wouldn't be possible with a 10 song album.
Interesting. Thanks for that! The majority of artists are just putting out singles and barely releasing albums. This is the opposite. Putting basically 3 albums worth of music at once is different but if it works, it works
Came back to add new single from new masked mystery band, PRESIDENT (In The Name of the Father). It's definitely Charlie Simpson of Fightstar as the vocalist! Pretty heavy like Fightstar too. I know there is/was a fair few fans here back in the day. Not sure if the other guys are involved or if GUNSHIP is involved in any way.
Arms Length all day. I’ve been a Hundredth fan since 2010 and have followed them through every step of their career but their full throating of AI on this album cycle and has made me completely uninterested in this album.
I understand the concern. I'm a designer myself (more on product design). It kind of feels like if folks don't get on the AI train soon though you're gonna get left behind. Just to be clear I'm not advocating for AI models to be trained on other people's work without consent if that's the worry.
