mailin 0 #1 August 3, 2005 A band releases a new set of songs, on cd (or my current fav, DVD-Audio) or MP3, or vinyl or whatever. Would you call it their new album or their new record?

masterrig 1 #5 August 3, 2005 Album. Album is a 'collection' of songs. I've seen 'single' CD's. Reminiscent of the old 45-RPM records with one song on each side. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #7 August 3, 2005 QuoteAlbum, a record is a physical thing. I wish we could still get records ie. vinyl. I love the cracks and pops from a record. Funny how the word 'record' is becoming popular again because yeah, I associate it with big old vinyl disks. I have to admit I became a CD convert many years ago, just for the convenience (and now everyone else is downloading mp3s I'm old-fashioned again, damn it!) But recently at the Virgin Megastore I noticed there were vinyl copies of just about all the new albums. And I have to agree - there's nothing like the sound of the needle hitting the vinyl at the start of your favourite record. It's like the sound of turbine engines starting up. It's an anticipatory thrill... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Lindsey 0 #8 August 3, 2005 It's definitely an album to me.

A record, in the music industry, is a physical object, while an album is the compilation which is on the record. Technically a new CD is neither, but much closer to a record. The release of said work though, is the release of an Album. Hope that made sense....It's your life, live it!
