Not bands, producers. I claim not to know what goes through a band member's head, but they're not trained in marketing and I can't imagine they have all that much say in how it goes. But I remember specifically hearing that the band wanted to release Mesmerize and Hypnotize as one album and Sony nixed it, figuring that with that many tracks it could be made into two, which ends up being twice the profit. The end result is two half albums that aren't as strong as one whole one would be, a pissed off fanbase and, I reckon, probably a pissed of group as well. But the labels hold all the cards.
