    With the advent of electronic tools (computers and other digital means of sound creation) IMO it has become rare to find an album that has a decent number of good songs on it. The band or musician(s) just seem to throw a bunch of styles at the wall and see what sticks, or the songs are so similar they just run together in a boring mass. Maybe it’s because music is so cheaply and easily produced with so little oversight and editorial input we just get what any mid can crank out with basic Ableton Instrument packs. Before, bands would have to fight to hold on to the crown and keep airplay and the record contracts coming (not trying to say the recording industry is good - its a shit industry - but it did have a few good points) and that pressure came from the record companies and radio stations. Now anyone can dump almost anything on Spotify and never look back.
