I don't know that I will ever understand artists that dump so much into the marketplace in these relatively short windows. Can we take the time to make the record we believe will stand out? Are we doing this to speed up fulfillment of a contract? Are all of the other non-music related engagements still not paying the bills? Do we want to release something as soon as we record it for our own needs? Are the actual earnings from the tour not enough to feed the machine while the creator takes a break to live life and fuel their musical creativity? I don't understand, but more power to this generation of creators...
