REC – “Just About to Die” (from Parts and Labour)

STREAM IT EVERYWHERE

In Part 6.2 of my history of albums, I tackle the second half of the 2000s. It was chaotic and ever shifting, growing and metastasizing all over the place, yet we had no idea where it was headed.

Album releases peaked, but by the end of the decade singles ruled again, and sales of CDs and downloads were about even. The internet staked its claim on revenue, distribution, and especially creativity, morphing and expanding albums and music in general in unexpected ways.

What are your favorite albums from the last half of the 2000s? Did you listen to them mostly on CDs or as downloads? How did you handle the rapid switch from physical to digital music? Discuss dammit!

BONUS MxTRA VIDEO: Did the “singles culture” destroy music?
