Unexcusable truth the Melvins still care about their fans

It's for MP3 rippers.

Yeah I'm thinking that too. It even seems to work, because I didn't find so many mp3s from "The Maggot". It's like CausesUnknown said, people are lazy and dont' want to put both tracks together.

And my copy of that Kyuss album has individual tracks...

So does mine. But I was always wondering why the song listing was diveded into three parts.

I think it was supposed to be three sections originally...at least, mine has only three sections plus a bonus track (that goofy song at the end).

I wouldn't say they (Kyuss) did that preventively, though, cause back when the album came out, there was hardly any mp3 activity around...but I liked the idea of having to actually sit and listen to the whole stuff.

My guess regarding Kyuss is that the label made the switch soon after releasing the record, fearing that an un-listener friendly three track affair would damage their reputation...

You talking to me?

no, whoever the anonymous "listener" is in your Kyuss theory.

Well, I didn't say that the actual Kyuss listener cared-hell, most of them wouldn't be able to see their stereo through the cloud of bongsmoke. All I mean is that from the label's perspective, it's too restrictive for people not to be able to skip ahead to their favourite track. Also for those of short attention spans methinks!

I personally think this was a good idea. I figured since some of the songs start out slow, and instead of skipping the track completely, you could skip to the middle, which is where things start to kick up.
