I downloaded a few songs from "Instant Vintage" from Kazaa or WinMX or somewhere, and here's the thing...

...they all have the one "hook" or chorus, then it just repeats that, over and over for whatever the song length is...no verses, NO variation whatsoever.

Now I can't imagine that someone would release an album like this, so,

if anyone owns this, would you please let me know if this is actually the album format or a problem or nuance of downloading MP3s?

I will buy the album if there is more to the songs than what I've heard. From what I've heard, its incredible!!!

This is one of the recording industry's anti-file sharing strategy: flood peer-to-peer networks with false tracks (of looped song segments) that have the same total time/file size as the real deal, so that these false tracks will come up in searches and throw you off track.

Yeah, another great strategy from the recording industry! Make you think the music is extremely repetitious and crappy.

Sarcasm intended.
