What Constitutes Filler

Filler is any song on an album that does not go with the general flow or is just bad. Or both. So as a result many popular artist's albums are full of filler seeing as how the most prominent musical statement is now the single. And since it's pretty hard a have an album that is 1 hit single after another something has to fill in the blanks...
 
i argue that cuckoo cuckoo from SJ is filler. It kills the flow of the album and isn't a good song, either. but you're right about the rest of their albums, especially all the ones that came before Feels. My goodnes where those tough to listen to, and even feels is full of filler.
 
Yeah, mc chris has some skits on the album that are hilarious and contribute to the somewhat concept of the album (SPOILER ALERT Chris is a zorabie). But I do think it's all based on opinion, unless in said cases that it feels contrived or is just bland (which is probably because of the contrivedness).
 
I agree, I would like this band so much more if this wasn't true.

To add to the topic, I agree with what has been said. For me, filler can also be a song on an album that doesn't really take a risk, or it just seems safe. Generic sounding and uninteresting usually means filler to me.
 
Filler is $$$$...anything that was put togther to "fill" an album.....Because there was so much on there contract it makes the talent disappear. It's sad because so many good banRAB go bad because of Record labels
 
Yea, although I respect the albums that came before Feels for the sheer creativity. They keep making their albums more and more accessible, it's like they're taking a step backwarRAB in a way.

I'd probably have a better time listening to Merriweather than Sung Tongs though.
