Favorite Double album, vote here!
I choosed a bunch that I knew of, if any others you know of, please mention.
I like double albums, though most have been known to be crap.
anyway discuss.
To me a double album is a studio album released with 2 cd's worth of music ranging from 20-30 songs. Consisting of material that was written and concieved at the same time
the album is either released as a double (the white album) or one, and then the other later (load/reload

A double album is a double album, not what you consider to be a double album. Kid A/Amnesiac is not a double album, originally conceived as one, but decidedly not one.Mellon Collie for me.

A double album is a double album because it is one. Its NOT what I decide. Its just what it is and basically what the general public, or the band, decides. Are you saying Load/reload is not a double album?
The band recorded all the drum tracks for the combined 27 songs at the SAME TIME!!!, decided it was best to release load...go on tour, come back fresh, finish the rest of the vocals and guitars and what not, and then put out reload. The cover art work and layout is the same with art from the same artist, the interior is the same, the sound, vibe, and mix on both albums sound exactly alike.
Radio head.....from what I gather from people was the same story.
If a band goes into a studio, records a bunch of shit, releases half of that, then releases the rest of the half as an album the next year, and not as an EP or something, then........yeah it basically is a double album. its part I and Part II

Yes, because it's not a double album is it? It's two albums. Recorded at the same time or not, that does not make it a double album. Metallica say it's not a double album, neither does anybody with a brain.
Intended as, and actually being, are two different things.

So? They're not a double album, they are two albums that are remarkably similar due to recording situations. They were sold separately, they are rated on their own, they are not a double album, nor were they ever intended to be. They were left over songs that the band decided to finish.

Then stop gathering from "people" and use sense and knowledge to realise those people are wrong.

It's not. A double album is released together, not one after another. Similar situation, but not the same. Fact.

Actually it was originally indended to be one, now do me a favor and let the people talk music instead of bickering about stupid crap. cuz you're all knowing apparently.

and from what I hear from "idiots" apparenly is that RadioHead's next album WILL be a double album, and from what I've read so will The Cure's next record.

Originally intended to be, but? But it's not is it? No. it's two separate albums, not a double album, two separate albums that happen to be similar due to recording circumstances. Find a place where they say "It's a double album.". You won't, cos it's not. A double album is a two disc piece sold as one, not two separate albums.
Also, what does that last part have to do with anything? The Cure were going to do a double album back with their last release, but decided not to, so they're actually doing two discs sold as one this time. That's a double album, not two albums sold in close proximity.
You're an idiot.

Whether its a double album, or a part 1 or a part 2, who really gives a shit?
Did GNR make an album called Appetite for destruction, and then their next album was called Appetite for repair........no?
Whether it was packed as one, or split into two, who cares? Two CD's that have extreme similarties are more of a double album than not.
Undeniebly the two albums are from a series of recording sessions displaying the era and state of any band during that particular time.
I threw a topic out for people to discuss about what they liked, and you had to be dick about it.

Don't try to make it about "caring". You said certain albums were double albums, I corrected you. You obviously cared enough to debate, so don't act as if you aren't caring now. You were wrong, move on.

They're not an actual double album, though. That's a fact. Mezmerize/Hypnotize, Kid A/Amnesiac etc are not double albums. You can continue to wrongly belief such if you desire, but it is what it is.

That does not constitute a double album. It constitutes...recording them at the same time. If they are not released together, they are not a double album.

No, I corrected you because you were incorrect. If that constitutes being a dick then stop being wrong.
