did sandinista by the clash even have anywhere near 70 tracks? it was a sprawling, insane triple album. but great? not by a long chalk.

take note.

edit: nope it had a mere 36. i should have checked that first.

Again, I really hope they go through with it. They may look back & cringe at Know Your Enemy, but imagine if that wasn't released & Lifeblood followed Truth?!

Do you not think he just said that to provoke another thread out of us?

As far as I'm concerned, 70 tracks is insane. Standards would slip at various points. I can only listen to a few songs on The White Album. I think I've only actually properly listened to it all the way through a handful of times. It's just too much.

At first I thought Nicky was just treating this as a laugh, but now that he's mentioned it again it appears he's actually serious about the idea

I'll believe it when I see it but I'm glad they're going to be doing music they want to do. Looks like they forgot about this '2 versions of the band' nonsense pretty quickly, good.

That statement made me laugh very hard. Can this be Nicky's worst idea ever or when the album comes out, it will be the best selling and most acclaimed album they have ever done?

17 Songs Of Failure & Hatred would be fine! They need to be daring again and just bust out some shit.

Seconded, the insecurities the band have when they feel they need to be a popular group is utterly embarrasing. They always did well chart wise anyway when they did whatever the Hell they wanted to.

It'd be the perfect way to apologise for PFAYM.

even 17 is too many songs. I'm the fan of the short albums, not longer than 45min and it's better to have more 3minute songs than very few 8min

To me '70 Songs of Hatred & Failure' is just a title, a metaphor if you will. I doubt Sony would issue a 70 track record in these times as they wouldn't be able to sell it! Especially after the PFAYM Momento Boxset Special price!

Can you not just push pause and take a breather if it gets a bit much for you to follow?

We all know how to take Nicky's pre-album statements... But I think their wish to indulge is genuine, and (whatever the number of tracks on the album) this can only be a good sign!
