One Day Remains only has 11 songs and is AB's album with the best flow in my opinion. Ten songs are fine with me.

Lol people sad it's 10 songs when they'll have 20 this time 2 years from now. AB III came out over 4 years ago. Time moves faster than you think.

I'm kind of worried about this TBH. 10 songs, and are we for sure getting a physical release? I'd love to buy some kind of bundle. But why would I do that if 10 more songs are coming later? For completists like myself, this is a maddening proposition.

Remember the days when bands didn't tell you how many songs they recorded in an album session? lol

I agree in that I wish everything is released at the same time but I get why they are doing this. MP3 is the now and future. If Tremonti released everything at once he wouldn't make anything off of it because sales won't be high.. Even with his popularity TREMONTI isn't very mainstream in the metal world.

This way they makes a pretty decent profit for the release and make some good cash for each song per month.

But I would be pissed if we never heard some of the other b sides. But I'm sure Mark wouldn't hold us back

I'm not convinced the iTunes sales will do as well as the physical album. I just don't see it operating that way. In fact, I'd be willing to bet, over a histogram, you will be able to plot a trend with fewer sales across the 10 independent releases.

Just take this random Reddit thread for instance: http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/ ... er_though/
Each subsequent comment has hundreds of votes less. The average consumer isn't going to keep track for 10 months, they'd be better off putting more effort into marketing, putting a few more songs on the album and selling it for $15 instead of $10. THEN release a few B-Sides on iTunes for the diehards and new converts.

I get that they're saving money by eliminating the physical production costs but I'm not convinced they won't be losing more than that amount in sales over such a long period of time.

Just my opinion. Especially since there are 2-3 tracks I know I wouldn't pay separately for if they weren't on the album.

If they release them once a month as has been mentioned the novelty would definitely wear out pretty quickly with all the waiting in between.
For all of the hope that it brings...

I'm pretty sure the 10 "b-sides" will be released on a physical disc after all of the songs have been released individually. As I recall, the folks who bought each song will automatically receive the physical CD at the end. That's the last I heard anyway; things could have changed since then.

How is that possible? Are they going to track all iTunes sales or something? Or do you mean if you buy it off of Fret12? I just don't see that happening.

I'd just release the first 10 songs..... wait a month or two, then release the 2nd 10. Sort of like Stone Sour did with their newest stuff and Five Finger did....

I have a feeling something like this will happen. Two separate albums of 10 songs. That's probably the best for revenue anyways.

I imagine this would only work for purchases made through Fret 12. Makes sense because it allows more money to reach the band, rather than having to pay a retailer. This would also enable Fret 12 to create micro-packages, for example if they were to include a video clip with each song sale, and charge an extra couple bucks. I remember hearing that idea thrown around, but who knows what will end up happening.

Someone threw that idea around in this thread but I don't think we've heard that officially, have we?

They could have a deal where you pay the full price for all 10 songs up front, get the downloads automatically as they come in, and have the CD sent to you at the end.

Then they could also sell the singles individually through iTunes or whatever.

Not sure. I've heard Mark mention a few different ideas in interviews, and Tim has discussed a few of them here and on Facebook, but I don't think we've ever heard a concrete plan.

it'll likely be like it was for Gone and All That I Got, except we won't have to wait as long and it'll be more songs. then a possible physical release after they're all out.

He said he thinks they might; he didn't 100% confirm there will be. So for now no hopes up for me.

C'mon! That's got to be the worst April fools joke ever.
