"Ew?! Why is this so generic?! Not buying. Why do all the titles in this place suck?!" In my eyes, you should at the very least sample the music via previews (iTunes Previews? Woo?) before deciding on whether or not you will buy an album...

But that's the thing - that is often what the make or break deal is for someone buying an album especially if they are just a regular person and not a hardcore fan. The title, covers, tracklist etc are all things that help consumers to decide to buy or not. If someone doesn't like the tracklist, covers, title etc., often times they are not going to take the time to even listen to the tracks because they have already been turned off. On the other hand, if the cover, title and tracks are appealing, they are far more likely to say "oh this looks interesting, let me listen and then maybe I will buy."
