The 10 or 13 argument

harrisonrules · 22-08-2011, 07:31 PM

Chris apparently wants 13 songs
The rest of the band wants 10 songs

Here's my theory though:
How do we know the other 3 songs arent the other studio songs?
I dont if that's even accurate but id rather just have brand new studio songs

rafaelchampion · 22-08-2011, 07:33 PM

I bet 13. I mean, really.

admnistramation · 22-08-2011, 07:33 PM

ok thanks for sharing.

I really like what they did with VLV -- I'd prefer a short album and then a future E.P.

MancakesTheBand · 22-08-2011, 08:59 PM

How about 13 songs on ten tracks? That's exactly what they did with VLV

2GreenEyes · 22-08-2011, 09:02 PM

I think they're just gonna have an ammount of songs that will give them the desirable length, so if they find 10 to short they'll do more, or if they'll find 13 songs to long they'll have less.

I'm gonna bet on 11 + MX if that makes the cut.

How about not creating completely unnecesary threads?

I think it's a little strange Chris is the one wanting 13, because he seemed so obsessed with always making short albums...

Hartroc · 22-08-2011, 10:59 PM

Definitely ten. When it comes to albums, less is more.

I'll bet he's just upset thats we've already heard so much if the album that he wants to make it longer.

Brent · 22-08-2011, 11:31 PM

It's gonna be 10.

ColdplayingfromKansas · 23-08-2011, 12:32 AM

Well . . . it depends on their definition of 13 tracks; do they mean Viva era-ish, as in 10 a-sides and 3 hidden tracks, or X&Y era-ish as in 13 a-sides?

I hope they have 11 a-side tracks with 2 hidden tracks

ApproximatelyInfinite · 23-08-2011, 01:20 AM

My thoughts:

--10-11 track album with hidden tracks like VLV
--13-track album
--10-11 track album with 2-3 extra songs saved for single B-sides
--10-11 track album with 2-3 songs never heard from again

I think it really could go any way for them. Long albums can be unwieldily, but I'm sure most of us want to hear as much as we can from them at some point. I'd prefer it to be a shorter album, but with the leftover songs saved for REAL B-sides, rather than just having remixes and radio edits and live versions on the single releases.
