“One Thing At a Time” is a triple LP. With 36 songs on the album, it is no wonder that Morgan Wallen broke streaming records. At a 1 hour 52 minute running time, the daunting task of sitting down and listening to the album becomes a chore. While diehard fans will obviously listen from start to finish, is it plausible to release this length of an album in the time of singles, 30-second clips on social media, and a pick and choose your playlist era?
I’ve listened to a few songs on the album and eventually, I will make it through the entire thing. But, my attention span was not built for a 36-song album. 12 songs? Absolutely. This might be perfect for his fanbase, but it isn’t for me. Sorry, Morgan Wallen.
