I just got the new SOAD album, Hypnotize. I haven't listened to all of it yet but what I've heard is good. This album is continuation of the one released earlier this year, Mezmerize. When I heard that they were releasing two albums this year I thought it was strange, but cool. The first one was 36:32, less than half of what can fit on a disc. Naturally I assumed that the second half must be long enough so that it couldn't fit on one disc. Of course I was wrong. The new one is 39:47. The two combined are 76:19 and a CD holds 80 min of music. Interesting.

So basically, its like what the fuck, they had both discs more or less complete in March but they decide to not only split them into two records but also spread them apart by six months. This was purely a business decision and serves only to rip off the fans. Just because you have 12 songs it doesn't mean its an album. People pay $20 for a CD, give them their money's worth.

And labels wonder why some have decided not to pay for music anymore...
