Talk:Studio album

message: Can't we provide some examples or whatever? This seems pretty blank!
*Yeah let's keep the article even tho it's short. Sometimes definitions are best short. Why drag on what just needs a simple paragraph.  How long does it have to be before we can get rid of the Stub tag? Kristinwt (talk) 03:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stub on such an important article? 

message: Isn't "studio album" a retronym to differentiate "regular" albums during the advent of live and compilation albums?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.154.130.90 (talk) 20:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely, and it just doesn't work for certain types of music -- jazz, for example. Ricadus (talk) 10:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Retronym? 

message: The article says that they tend to contain largely new material.  Does that mean that a cover album would not be a studio album, or is it merely a truism because most bands and artists don't release albums full of covers?  In either case, the language should be cleaned up.LedRush (talk) 02:30, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A cover version album would be all new material as well - by the recording artist at least (all new recordings).--Tuzapicabit (talk) 21:22, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  original material 

message: Is it just me, or is Magical Mystery tour one of the worse examples we could use for this arcticle?  I mean seriously, who picked one of the handful of albums that exists as both an EP and an LP?  I'm planning to change it to Dark Side of the Moon.  Any strong objections?  Perhaps Abbey Road?

replies: text: It's actually quite a subversive choice, since Magical Mystery Tour began life as a special double-EP package and is something of a fake album, as non-album tracks were subsequently added to bulk it out to LP length. It raises the question of what constitutes an "album", the contents or the physical format? It also shows up why this category could be considered subjective or unhelpful in certain circumstances.

EDIT: "It is the first studio album released by the band since 2004's Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned and is the first Prodigy album since 1997's The Fat of the Land to feature all three members of the band."-Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invaders_Must_Die
No idea why does it say Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned was studio album, and The Fat of the Land was just "album", and how can this be album and studio album in the same time if there is difference between two.
Who has constructive answer please write, or dont, just letting ya know that this defenition is confusing. Thanks.

:I cannot imagine how that could possibly belong in the article, and I don't even believe it was worth preserving here. If specific albums are to be cited as examples, better-known albums should be used, such as (from the previous section on this Talk page) Abbey Road or The Dark Side of the Moon. They have their fans, but Prodigy is a long, long way from being a truly well-known band. I couldn't have named ONE of their albums -- one of their songs, come to think of it -- whereas I suspect even non-fans can name a track from the aforementioned Beatles or Pink Floyd albums. Or, they could easily name another Beatles or Pink Floyd album. (Probably Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band and The Wall.)
