Yes but I'm not sure if it's because artists aren't putting out good albums and more to do with the fact everyone purchases singles now and largely ignores anything that's not getting commercial air play. One of my favourite aspects in the old days was finding the hidden gems in albums that didn't get the airplay they deserved. Even myself now I just pick and choose singles from artists I don't necessarily follow. In the old days I would have been forced to purchase the album and listen to it where I would probably end up appreciating the band more.

Pop music has always been disposable and that hasn't changed but today's pop music in particular is highly manufactured and generic as a lot of it's development starts in boardrooms.
