At times, even fans have adopted this rule as well and are almost shocked when their favorite artist is able to release an LP already after two and a half or three years of waiting (let’s call this the MBV-effect). Artists may even feel pressured by reviewers and themselves to go into a deep stasis, only to emerge again when they’ve reinvented themselves into a newly revamped and retooled model, as opposed to just capturing time in a bottle and offering more to their catalog.
Managers will tell you that there’s too much money to be made on the road, so the album cycle goes on and on to support that. Press people will tell you that there’s a bottleneck of too many artists covered by too few media outlets who always want to talk about something new.
In 2015, the talent for creating a prolific output of exceptional music is almost a curse.
