Fuzz Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 One of the topics we talked about on the podcast, and one I'm curious for your opinions on, how many songs would you like to see on the next album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Depends on how many good ones they end up writing really, if they can write 10 then 10, if they can write 18 then 18 (and if not all of them suit the album release extras as b sides). As long as they're good I'd like to hear as many as possible! Can't really say a number unless you know how many they're planning to write/able to write/what number works for the album.

I'd prefer a shorter album, 14 - 15 songs max so that the amount of filler is eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually not concerned with the quantity of songs. I am more interested in the quality. I want to see an album of songs that are more musically complex than they have done in the past as well as different type of songs. I would love to hear another rap. I know everyone is reading into the picture of Billie and will.i.am, but I think it would be interesting and potentially diverse to have more than one producer on the album.

okotavio Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I feel Nimrod with 18 songs is perfect, as well as AI with 13, while Uno with 12 feels longer to me. So it really depends on the type of songs and the album's structure that creates the whole thing. Guessing they could be writing 3-5 minutes songs, an album with 12-15 songs would be ok.

As I alluded to in the podcast (although I'm not sure how well-spoken I was, since I refuse to listen to my voice ), I want an album that's as tight as possible. No filler. No rap. Very few "experiments," unless you count adding Mike and Tre on vocals again for a song. I just want them to prove something without trying to prove something, if that makes sense. I don't need gimmicks. I don't really even need them to prove they're taking a step foward. I just want solid, genuine, heartfelt music that I can relate to, which really hasn't happened in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siddharth_471 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 No need for making double or triple albums with 30-40 songs But something like this: Musically- 39/Smooth, Kerplunk!, Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod Lyrically- Warning, AI, 21stCB Mixed with the same passion and energy which was intended for trilogy + Thrash Metal like speed with downtunings and distortion thrown with hardcore. Now that's gonna be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 What I find interesting is when people bash the trilogy because of all the mid-life crisis songs. One of the great things about Billie's writing is his sincerity. He always writes about what he feels at the moment, what his experiences are. When he wrote alot of the trilogy songs he was writing about what he felt. He was going through his mid-life crisis. The problem is that you need to be close to Billie's age to understand what he was saying and what he was going through. The earlier songs he wrote were more relatable to more people because even the people that are older, were teenagers once, so they understand it.

Now that's gonna be awesome Warning, 21CB and AI are much more complex musically than the albums you mentioned in the musically category. Which is probably one of the reasons they are my favorites. You can throw Nimrod in that category as well. And why do you want them to rehash stuff they ahve done in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about it until now but it's all about the quality of songs , i strongly believe there are enough good songs on trilogy to make one great album.. i think 10 great songs are enough for me . 12-15 is my prediction, hopefully it's not a short 10-11 lille some artists do. I wouldn't mind 16+ as long as of course the quality is there, and the songs fit into the theme and style of the record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeNimrod97 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'd just go for as many as they have that are good and if that's more than 14, have a double album splitting up the tracks into equal numbers per CD. If the tracks don't fit, have them as B-sides and release another Shenanigans style B-side and outtakes album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZSebs Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'd say 12-14 songs, but the hope is that at least half of those songs are quality songs. By quality, I don't mean like radio hits, just songs that don't sound completely stupid or lazily written. But hey, even if they release an album of 20 'meh' songs, I'd still buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be okay with up to 15 songs. Ideally 13 really high quality songs because that's long enough to make me feel like I got my money's worth out of the album, but not so long it takes me forever to digest the songs.

Michael Highway Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I think as many songs as whatever it takes to make the album perfect...not one too many or not enough, just as long as it's appropriate for whatever it is they're writing. Essentially a work of art. When a painter knows when top stop painting kinda thing. Would be good to see a 12-15 track album. Something that doesn't feel like it's gonna end but also makes you want to listen to it all over again...(which I'm pretty sure I'll be wanting to listen to it all over again anyway)...(It goes unspoken ).
