Her take on album conception and production is spot on.

Great albums can be appreciated as an atomic thing, one whole listen start to end. One can tell a much bigger story, have depth, character, and other higher order constructs to tickle the minds of an audience with.

I am not sure just forcing it is the right way to go. And the including of other tracks, forced impressions, or at the least, hard to avoid "discovery times" is either.

For me personally, I much prefer doing it all the old school way, made easier with the tools we have today. Talking with people, listening to tracks, albums, sharing impressions.

If someone is selecting the music, great! Let them take me somewhere and create the impression, mood, story.

I get a lot out of those human interactions centered on music. Great stuff and the relationships one forms doing it are the best.

Of course none of that scales, and maybe it shouldn't. Fine with me because the special remains so.
