That's not the part that I quoted. Please look.
No, you are pretentious because you assume that anyone who doesn't like your EP idea hasn't given any thought.

the tourist said:Anyway, back on earth, I'm just going to restate that I didn't mean they should record a double album. I meant they should spend an extra six months in the studio and record two entirely seperate albums at the same time. Then release one of those albums. Only one. A single album. Not a double album. Then tour for eight months. Then take a break for a few months. Then release the other of those albums. Only one. A single album. Not a double album. And then finish the tour. Sort of like Achtung Baby --> ZooTV --> Zooropa --> ZooTV, only having it all recorded out at the beginning (so they don't have to go into the studio for two months in the middle of a tour for anything other than "single versions" of songs).

Yes, I've proposed this before as well, I guess it's hard enough for them to finish and decide on 11 tracks much less two albums worth.

You do know you can burn your very own copy of your perfect HTDAAB ep, only listen to that, and be happy, don't you? Seems simple enough to me.

I do actually have a copy of my perfect HTDAAB E.P. I was just saying it would've been great if they released it worldwide so everyone would have the pleasure. But I'm coming from fantasyland obviously. Can't turn back the clock.

And it's pretty easy to criticise what someone else has created, and say they should have done this or that, but you try creating fresh, interesting work all the time and see how easy that is. If you can turn out a better album (all original work, no cover versions or mere reordering the songs) I suggest you get working on it.
