God I hate that band. Not as much as I hate the xx but close.

If they have any sense they'll send out a bulk email at the same time as zero hour. Cos the site is gonna shit itself and die with the amount of traffic.

Remember RM crashed a few times around backspacer?
Those were the days

I liked their first album a lot, but I was expecting a very disappointing second album of rehashed ideas, and I got one.

I'd like to think it is.

Sgt, those days are behind us. I'm bloodless this time:)

Until that fake double album tracklist was posted yesterday i hadn't even given that a thought, but now Im really kinda hoping that is it. Im not gonna be disappointed if its not though

I thought Mellon collie was a bloated affair at the time, and really there is one truly great long album there, but looking at it now I'm glad pumpkins did it and I can appreciate t as a whole.

C'mon Pj. Make it a double

Not that we have heard a lot of them recently, but in the past all of the pj non album tracks have been good, so i know they can make a good double album. With all the time between albums and the fact they kept saying they were about half done, i definitely think its possible

Based on statements about this one, its possible they have more songs/demos for this album than any other. And given the time(4 years?) it's a possibility however small.
They're far too precious though. And having to know say 30 new songs rather than 12-15 could be a block too.

Fuck I hope it's a double

10 albums, and over 20 years are a couple of huge milestones. What better way to mark the occasion, by creating a whopper of a double. They've never done it before with a studio album, and I think all great bands need to make one at some point in their career.

think of all the threads we could make retracking a double album!

Stip, I laughed out loud.

Think of all the guided tours and SOTM homework you'd have?

It'd keep you going at least for the next four years!

Though I can see them following this one up relatively quickly, if this one isn't a double.

I'd be excited for a double album because it means more music, but I think I'd prefer a single album with the best possible material, and hearing the other songs in a future b-sides release.

You got that right, plus threads for ranking the songs on each disk, then a thread to rank the song on both disks together

Not to mention the tens of thousands of pages of us calling each other names for liking certain songs and hating others:)

I think most people who want a double album would prefer that, they just don't think PJ can manage it.

How about something like use your illusion 1 & 2, didn't they come out a few months apart ? Though i don't see the reason for that, if you are gonna release it all then just do it as a proper double album

That's be interesting but they wouldn't so it simply cos g n r already have.

Plus a follow up so close sorta steals from the first I think.

Leave a healthy gap a la achtung baby and Zooropa

I hope ken gaspar is a featured player on this one.
