Saying that the album is dead strikes me as stupid. Why would it die just because you can easily release singles now? I'm sure fewer artists will feel obligated to make albums, but then some other artists will want to make a more substantial statement/several songs which have a similar sound/songs recorded in the same session. Why not group them together?
