Tbh this isn't necessarily a bad thing, if it means they release more frequently. Means albums are less bloated with filler, and fans get to experience more releases with more variety.

Like yeah fans waited 4 years for this album, but they also got to experience the hype and excitement of a new release/smaller eras every single year.

I'm not sure if I agree. I think the strategy of less frequency in terms of major bodies of work positions major stars from not burning out too early. Also, i think "filler" is subjective. Not every song on an album needs to be on the radio and a smash single. I think when that happens, people get oversaturated with said artists and they burn out. Look at Katy and Gaga...Katy had seven/eight hit singles in a row. Gaga didn't but is inarguably the bigger star today and will continue to be.

EDIT: that said there are definitely a few artists that have overcome that (like Rihanna) but even now, she is taking a loooong break to rebuild hype.

all of this to say; i hope labels dont get cash-grabby and punctuate artists' visions into EPs and call them albums to push more frequency over shorter run times. I don't think that's good for anyone. Girl groups are a slightly different conversation (with BP, Jisoo and Lisa are already sort of positioned for solo careers when the group burns out) but to call anything an "album" with only 8 songs is troubling to me.

The Fame Monster is technically an EP. That is its official classification. Gaga may consider it her second album, I do too, but that does not change the fact that it is an EP.

It is not. An EP has a maximum of 28 minutes of length and TFM is 34 minutes long.

An EP is under 30 minutes in length and has less than 8 tracks.

This is an album, as is The Fame Monster. X

Stop. We wouldn't have the Superbowl halftime performance and Victoria's Secret Performance if it weren't for her team.
