Kapranos hails advent of digital quality control

Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos believes downloading will push artists to make better albums, as fans will only buy songs that are good.

Franz frontman Alex Kapranos thinks that the age of the download will mean that artists will have to make better albums instead of relying on the occasional hit single to sell their long players. Kapranos apparently said: "I like the idea that, because of downloading, people are gonna buy songs only if they are good. It means lazy bands aren't going to get away with giving you the one hit single and an album full of fillers."
