Do Singles for Albums ruin Albums?

[kbailey12]

Just a thought here.. I know whenever an artist drops singles for an upcoming album its to hype it up and such, make a vid for it and all. But i was thinkin, do you think it lessens the value of the album? ex. C4 we had 6.7. John, HTL, She Will. All good tracks (yes i like HTL ) then we get the album and its basically multiple songs that we really don't want to listen to any more because we were bumpin them long before the album dropped. Same for Cole World. Good album but like 6 of the songs were already released before the album and just ruins it a little for me. Same with Take Care like Headlines and The Motto. Anyone else see what I'm sayin?

i see what your saying and i mean kinda but not really sometimes the singles just dont match the vibe of the cd

Take Care and Cole World were in repeat without skipping a song. You are right for C4 tho.... so i guess it depends.. but C4 took too long for drop too..

Singles don't hurt, but too much makes the album more boring

i agree when i listen to c4 i usually find myself skipping the singles

I understand what your saying, in some ways it can kind of ruin it. In C4's case it did for me becuase there was so many singles. Like I think a album should have at least 2 singles, not 4-5.

I always skip the overplayed singles too

Well, I can only speak for myself, but singles do not ruin an album for me. I have listened to 6F7F over 500 times and HTL over 300 times since they were released as singles, and I still play through them when I listen to the entire album.

i dont think they ruin albums beacuse they are old and overplayed. I think they hurt albums because they are usually amoung the weakest songs on the album because they are made for a mainstream audience.

Re: Do Singles for Albums ruin Albums?

yea i agree with you guys bout made for mainstream. Holy shit at you listening to those songs so many damn times lol But C4 took soooooooooo long to drop i think singles hurt C4 more than any album i've heard in a while.
