How many trees have you planted then ? I haven ' t planted nearly enough or as many as I ' d like <| sep |> It ' s not something I put too much reflection into but started to think about the album ' s length after reading a statement by the Avenged Sevenfold guys . They comment on the streaming metrics that count as album sales , if I ' m not mistaken 1 , 500 streams count as a sold album 1 , 500 streams of the whole album I guess ? , therefore longer albums contribute less than shorter ones . I don ' t think the guys care too much about record sales , and I really don ' t know what matters to Danger Mouse but the idea of him being moved by number of sales reason wouldn ' t be nice at all . On the other hand , shorter albums may be a better idea because even if most of hardcore fans like the idea of long records , a lot of people think that Stadium Arcadium for instance has many fillers . There maybe other reasons why a short album may be better but I don ' t know that much to have a definite opinion about it . Also , the guys know Danger Mouse better than us and if they as a collective wouldn ' t trust him , they would have not put their creations in his hands , but we will see what happens in the next record . About the creation process , don ' t know how common that recording style using the studio as a compositional tool is in the industry nowadays , I know Fugazi for instance did that sometimes . So there ' s must be a better way to do it but again it is a first time so who knows maybe in future they will find themselves more comfortable with it . Nonetheless , I 3 The Getaway and how their songs sound live even more !
