Title: Double Album?
Post by: rincon on May 10, 2011, 09:04 AM
Any chance the leak is just a tease? It is a pretty short record for a double album. In all honesty is seems unfinished to me. It has a beginning, then it wakes up a bit, then it peters out without a bang. Don't misunderstand me, I like it, it just seems not to be complete, and is not long enough for 2 vinyl discs.

From what I've seen about lengths it clocks in around 45-50 minutes.  Same length as Z and it was a 2LP set.  Would be awesome if that's the case but I doubt it.

I think it is more like 35-40 minutes. I did a 30 minute workout, and it was already in the 9th song when I finished. 10 songs for a double album?

The regular edition is a single album.   There you go.

The Circuital single take up the entire side of one album.  I guess because it's a 45 rpm?  Is that right?

It's currently 43.4 minutes...and that's with the cut track of "You Wanna Freak Out." So at the most it will be about 46 minutes.

As I stated in another thread, it would be nice if they put a bonus track on it...like they did for EU.

I personally think these albums get leaked on purpose...it's great marketing, and It also gives the industry a taste of how a new album will be received by fans.

Regular edition says 2LP on preorder and 1LP on Amazon.  I'm assuming two but I guess I'll find out on June 1

I think LP length has more to do with sound quality - the more "information" you want to put, the more grooves are required. So if you want to put out a high-quality LP, then you need more grooves, and therefore more surface area.

If you have the same rpm though, you have to have the same amount of grooves for an album to finish at the same time right?   So it has to have a faster rpm to get more grooves.

I might be wrong. It might be "size of grooves" vs "amount of grooves"

This is correct. There's only one groove, it's just really long!  :thumbsup:

Quality is only affected if it is a faster spin. Try to imagine your avatar as me when you read this!

Thinking back, Radiohead's In Rainbows box set was a double, and it was less than 43 minutes. I dunno why, but it appears to be the industry standard to make double vinyl albums for deluxe in particular. I wouldn't expect anything new here.

Now, if they were to eventually release the Self-Hypnosis series on vinyl...  :D

Quality is affected by a deeper groove.
180g records have a deeper groove, shortening the amount they can hold.

Nope, this is the album.  The only thing we're missing is about 2 min of "You Wanna Freak OUt". Don't get your hopes up.
