Will albums still be with us?

Is it so long ago that bands offered extended versions of albums thanks to the proliferation of the CD format? "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits and "Life's Too Good" by the Sugarcubes come to mind. And is it really so long ago that the album was a format for an overall experience, be it "Sandinista!" or "The Wall"?

Now the album, regardless of medium and the message, may be dead. So it goes.
