2020: The New Album

HA!
You're so bad!

And it was pretty awful...

Also, comparing the White Album, one of the best albums in history, to a double album of RHCP’s B-sides...

No one is comparing the quality of THINFS to the White Album,nor Stadium Arcadium to the White Album.
Rolo was refering to a double album and posted some examples of double albums,nothing else.

A real double album would require Jon to write 50 songs and give us his best 24 with the intentions of delivering a double album..

THINFS: Not write 25, give us 12 and then a bunch of b-sides... If this was the day of CD singles, we'd get all those songs over the course of the released singles.

And if you applied that THINFS double album theory to other releases, we can say that These Days was a double album, Bounce was also a double albums... etc...

It just doesn't work.

I am not adding b sides,Im just referring to official editions of the albums.
What you mean is that I get Bounce,wich is a 12 songs album and add it Another Reason,Standing,Alive,etc
It is not the same thing.
THINFS in its different official album editiona had a total of 21songs.
Im a not saying that it isa double album,of course,Im just saying that it had a number of songs that could had perfect been a double album.

Were all songs released on one single album? Weren't there a few songs left off each one? I don't think I ever got Color Me In on an official release.

Again, CD singles aren't released anymore so they used the bonus tracks to get the die hard fans to purchase multiple albums. They used to do that with CD singles. Now they do it on albums.

All the THINFS albums I received from ticket sales, have 12 songs on them. That is the official album.

It really is the same thing though. The only difference is that there is no such thing as B-Sides these days, so we get them as bonus tracks on deluxe editions instead....these are still songs that Jon didn't think were good enough, or didn't fit the main album. Therefore they were relegated to Bonus Tracks / B-Sides. It's the same thing, just that the business models have changed.

If Bounce was released today there would have been no commercial single releases, but a standard 12 track edition and a deluxe edition featuring Another Reason To Believe, We Can Dance, Breathe etc etc

But,for example,when I bought These Days,back in 1995,it had 14 songs,now if you go for it on Spotify it had 12 songs.
So All I Want is Everything and Bitter Wine were bonus tracks that in a determinated way,made the final version of the album.
But,btw,When She Comes or Wedding Day were b sides released on cd singles that didnt made the main album in any international version(as far as I know)
For me they are different concepts.

The Tidal version has all 21 tracks on one album but I agree, 12 tracks is the base/original album.
