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.

 

Had no idea Inspection 12 were putting out new music. Thanks for the shout!

 

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

 

Happy Arms Length Release day to all that celebrate.

 

Hundredth and Arm's Length

 

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.

 

First time listening to callous daoboys- mind blown! Reminds me of sikth

 

Arm's Length
Wounded Touch

 

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.

 

Not familiar with what's gone on, but what have they done with AI that concerns you?

 

The artwork and the music videos are AI slop

 

All of the visuals for this album have been AI.

 

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.

 

The Callous Daoboys album is a masterpiece.

 

Mclusky all day, then probably all night too
