This all happened before the digital age. The Mamas and Papas put out three full albums in under 13 months once.
Most bands released singles every 3 months to stay in the youth's minds. Only when the album format became a bigger thing did bands start taking 2 years to release 12-14 songs. Releases were not important before then, and they are not important now. They're being important was a side-effect of the old album/record label mentality, where they would release things to shore up their fiscal year bottom line.
artists draw/paint/sculpt whatever and show it whenever. writers write constantly and publsh whenever possible.
Musicians who make lots of music should release as much as they want, anytime they want. They MIght Be Giants would do a free song a day via their dial-a-song, a free NEW song each day for years.....
what I am getting at is that there is no centralized way to receive music anymore, o trying to build up fake hype for releases does not work.
