The single will drop soon. Then they'll announce the official album release date. Then it will leak. Then stip will start a thread about it. Then most of us will listen. Then I won't read the new thread. Then the album will drop. Then I'll listen to it twice before posting. Then I'll post about it, but it won't matter because everyone else will have been listening for a couple months and moved on.
Then Stip will do a Guided Tour thread. And we'll all post in it. But it won't change the fact if Stip loves it, we'll all hate it and if Stip hates it, we'll all love it.
I actually like and agree with Stip in a lot of cases. Except my loathing of JB and belief that Wishlist is not the love song it appears.
But I concur that no matter why is released there will be the usual clashes.
All joking aside, Stip and I tend to agree a lot, actually. I like Backspacer a whole shit ton more than most people around here. And I think No Code is flawed.
Does Stip even like Just Breathe? I thought he disliked it.... either way, I goddamn love that song, cheesy obvious platitudes and all.

I love it. The first verse especially
Cool.
I don't know why I thought you hated it... My mistake.

around the S/T level I think. It beat Riot Act. It may not have beaten S/T
S/T did almost 280,000 in its opening week, and Backspacer did 189,000. Combine in the declining sales of music in general, I'd have to imagine Backspacer proably sits around 100,000 or so less than S/T. But I could be completely wrong.
It also hung on waaaaaaay longer than S/T, and produced two much more successful radio singles than WWS. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it ended up around Binaural/ST numbers.
Interesting that Rearviewmirror is such a big catalog seller. I know it's a greatest hits package, and those tend to do well, but by those numbers it'd be triple platinum before the end of next year.
i didn't read any pages after 157, so idk if this has been discussed, but one thing to note about RVM is that, if I'm not mistaken, each sale/shipment of a 2-cd set counts as 2 sales. maybe i'm wrong, but i thought i remember learning that some years ago on a message board.

All of Rearviewmirror's sales get doubled because it's a double album, correct? So in reality it only sold half off that.
No. Sales aren't doubled. It just gets certified for double. So if it says it sold a million, then it sold a million...but would qualify for double platinum.

what exactly is the issue here?
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.
