I think you tend to go BANG, there it is and push it out for all to see. I think like you said, if you push one out every so often people aren't as excited about 'The Album' because they nearly have everything on it on MP3 and what they have had has been spread over a few months. So while they get free tracks on a regular basis the progression in your music is dilluted, so instead of 'look where I am at now' it just seems a natural and barely noticable change.
It all depends what you want now you have a record deal. Do you want to just be Scott who puts his tracks on the net for nothing or Scott who keeps everything for the album? In one sense putting them on the net is great because you have built up a fanbase all over the world already. On the other, you could bottle it all up, everyone gets excited about 'The New Album' and from that hype springs good things on the back of that.
Are the two exclusive? Hard to say. Maybe a buzzy album launch with 150 expectant people in London is better than 3000 people having an MP3?
