Geffen was being cheap and Robert didn't want the band to get conned out of the money they deserve. At the end of the day, I think it'll all be the same, tracklist-wise, and I have no real interest in a double album over consecutive album releases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-86359236444883121012008-11-02T07:31:00.000-06:002008-11-02T07:31:00.000-06:00If you ask me, it clearly appears that he felt tha...If you ask me, it clearly appears that he felt that it wasn't right that he essentially not be paid for half of the songs.

I'm not so sure I agree with that business ...Yeah. I'm not so sure I agree with that business about "he didn't care about making any more money" and he was conned out of making the record he wanted. Sounds like Geffen wasn't going to stop him from releasing the double album if he wanted to. He just wouldn't get the extra money. The fans aren't going to be cheated out of anything. We either pay $19.98 for a double album now or $9.99 for the first album and then another $9.99 for the dark album. And I'm guessing the fans would have preferred the double album now instead of yet another wait.<BR/><BR/>So, yes, this is about the money. And there is nothing wrong with that. The Cure is due the money for the second album. That's not being greedy. That's just getting paid for your work. <BR/><BR/>However, it does irritate me when somebody gets all high and mighty about how "This has nothing to do with money" and how its really about having your artistic vision or whatever compromised. The way events are described in this story just seems to contradict that.<BR/><BR/>But like I said...They do deserve that money. And its OK to say you deserve that money.Dumb Anguishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059533943446891778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-62509144729626133912008-11-01T15:04:00.000-05:002008-11-01T15:04:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.sixcentralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782249177594851682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-4360501583816523782008-11-01T13:02:00.000-05:002008-11-01T13:02:00.000-05:00That wouldn't have been a "fuck you" to Geffen at ...That wouldn't have been a "fuck you" to Geffen at all. They'd sell the set for a double disc price and only pay Robert for one disc, meaning that they'd be the ones making off likes bandits over this. What Robert is planning to do is the only fair thing to do considering that Geffen wants to charge the fans extra and not give Robert his fair share. I really hope this will finally teach him his lesson, and Bob will join one of the big indie labels like Merge or Domino.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-76644870162924369802008-11-01T11:35:00.000-05:002008-11-01T11:35:00.000-05:00A real "fuck you" to Geffen would have been to rel...A real "fuck you" to Geffen would have been to release the doule album anyway.

I don't know the general definition for a "double album" in the music industry nowadays, but what Robert wanted was a pair of CDs containing songs - I don't know how many songs - of two opposite tastes on each disc. <BR/><BR/>I mean it should be like the sun & the moon, black & white, light & dark, etc, etc. It reminds me of the principles of Yin & Yang.Junkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116178778531661885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-57805239798717042402008-11-01T10:27:00.000-05:002008-11-01T10:27:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Junkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116178778531661885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-65128998716435393002008-11-01T09:57:00.000-05:002008-11-01T09:57:00.000-05:00I'm sure that the dark album is in the can already...I'm sure that the dark album is in the can already.

I mean the "official" definition. I just got my 4:13 CD and Vinyl and the vinyl is 2 records. In fact hardly any CD today released on vinyl isnt 2 records. So how many songs, much music, what defines what is a double album if the single album is already 2 records?PinkTerrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858415960888790975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886767188052333210.post-60770257530155101222008-11-01T08:56:00.000-05:002008-11-01T08:56:00.000-05:00Given that the current album has taken years to co...Given that the current album has taken years to come out I can't imagine that they'll get anything else out anytime soon.
