Which could lead to less songs overall in the album era. I honestly doubt an album without singles would be even nearly as long as Love Songs(that album practically filled a whole CD)

But we don't even KNOW if there will be singles or not yet.
Yes but I tend to judge an album (at least for the first 6 months to a year) based on the new songs alone, not the singles. Once the album is released, I am usually already tired of the singles and the freshness of those songs have worn off. That's why when (miss)understood was released, I felt rather disappointed. Now looking back, I am able to see the album as a whole since it's been years since those singles were released. One reason why I loved Love songs so much was because when the singles were released, I hated them. I couldn't get through MOON in full until the album came out, and I didn't start listening to crossroad or the L single until the first weekend of October. So when Love songs came out, those songs were still fresh and my love for them was technically still at a peak (minus Virgin Road).
