Fair enough -- I was really trying to say that I think album art needs a reconceptualization, starting with the manner in which it's delivered to the listener.

In an abstract sense, the association of visual art with music, is, of course, a good thing that I'm sure is here to stay.

UPDATED TO ADD: Perhaps the abstract concept of "album" is what needs to go the way of the dodo.

Taylor Swift and the Weeknd are two of the biggest artists out there and they put out albums. I don't think the concept is as abstract as you put it.

Whether artists have enough material to justify an album-length release is a different topic.
