[edit] New live album
An article should be written on the new live album from the recent reunion. The name escapes me now though. Robotman1974 03:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Box
This is definitely a compilation by any reasonable definition, so I've moved it back. --Richardrj talk email 13:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- I won't change anything about it, but I still think it's ludicrous. Almost half of The Box was never officially released before: 6 out of 10 songs on CD 1, 5 out of 6 songs on CD 2, 1 out of 8 songs on CD 3, and 3 out of 10 songs on CD 4. Is the definition of compilation album: an album of which all the songs have never been released on any other format? In my definition a compilation album is made up of tracks that have been released before. Mark in wiki (talk) 13:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- But what else can you call it? It's not a studio album, because it doesn't consist of tracks that were put together at the time of recording with the specific purpose of creating an album. My definition of a compilation album is obviously a lot looser than yours. A compilation certainly doesn't have to consist only of previously released tracks, it is just a collection of songs (usually from different eras/periods) that have been brought together for some specific purpose. --Richardrj talk email 15:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
