If you want me to buy all ten songs, make all ten songs good. You can’t make an album with 3 singles, 2 deep cuts, and 5 filler tracks, then bitch about iTunes and the “death of the album”.

To that point, Simon also says this: “When I make an album I’m thinking about the presentation and arc of the album, one song going into another, the sequencing and making sure all songs are as good as all. I don’t want to make two songs that are really good and then the rest just be fillers. I want to make a great album, and one that flows and has an arc. I want to say things within this 40-minute structure.”
