In reply to I can't.

thats what im saying. Im wondering when the males in the industry will step their game up. Is it just me or does it seem like alot of artists in GENERAL are hit or miss these days. How can you work on an album for years and years and listen back not possibly knowing the album wont be received well or your general audience wont bite???

Remember back in the day (early 90's) albums were cohesive bodies of work and you invested in an album knowing it was of quality...and you more than like wouldn't get another one from that artist for years.
