Red Hot Chili Pepers. New album. May 9th. 28 [i]fucking[/i] tracks with a rumored [i]10 [/i]bonus tracks.

Oh, and FYI, I'm getting the black box edition of the album wich includes, quote: "the 28-song, two-CD set, plus a DVD with the "Dani California" video and behind-the-scenes "making of the video" footage; a one-hour band interview; a 28-page booklet; original artwork by the band; and 'special space-age discoveries.'"

W00t!

I am counting down the days, people.

This is one of the most highly aniticipated albums of the year. I can't see it dissapointing anyone, it's going to be a wonderful thing.

Given that most bands write/record 20-30 songs anyway and then cut it down to 10 of the best because they're only paid for 10....most large releases are 10 good songs plus filler.

But given what nutswingers some people are, filler is all the same to them.

actually, they condensed what was going to be three different albums released over a span of about two years into one big one

i'm actually a little worried. i don't know if they are making this their Grand Finale of what. Uneasy

Again, really doesn't change anything. Because aside from perhaps 15 100% quality albums out there, 10 track albums are also a couple great songs and 7 "yeah, it's good" or "...eh...." songs.

So you [i]still[/i] don't have much more than one album. Plus fluff.

It's a nice package, don't get me wrong, but not the second coming of [s]Robert Plant[/s] Jesus. Good marketing strategy, though.

And no matter how they planned to release it, it's still the same basic concept. Write/record a whole bunch and then edit it all into releases, be it one great album or five ok albums.

I hope this is their farewell.

Then

1. I won't have to hear them or of them anymore

2. You'll cry.

Your blatant disregard for my feelings and/or general well being makes me want to touch myself in ways never meant for the human physiology.

It's not fair. chili Pepper can release all that, but Nellie McKay left her record label cause they wouldn't let her release the 28-song version of Pretty Little Head?

Not really.

It's all about money. Bands only get paid for 10 songs, thus why most albums hover around 10 and anything over is a "bonus track", but out of 30-40 songs, most bands only have 10 good ones anyway.

But packages like what RHCP are releasing cost a lot more to produce and promote. Without guarantee that they'll sell, it's not worth it. And 28 is a lot, unless they're really small songs, it'd be a double disc. Even worse, money-wise, for small artists.
