Title: Maybe the Goo's fooling us?
Post by sympathy_0 on Jan 3^rd, 2006, 10:27am

Well, I think the goo's are playing with our heads. This is how the release dates went:
Late Summer/Early Fall
Early 2006
Feb 2006
Feb-Mar 2006
April 2006
And the only dates that were ever rumoured were: January 24 and January 31.

I think it will come out in January. I still can't get over the whole Wal-Mart preview thing, WHY would they put that their unless they got it from a source? Which means they probably did get it from a source, which means Warner Bros. or something. I think there just telling us it will be April and stuff. Frankly I think there going to tell us like one week before its actually announced, becasue we've been Goo-Album deprived for a while. I could be wrong though. :S

PS- Ok, APRIL IS HARDLY EARLY 2006!!! Lol..

I believe April if not even later. Releasing an album isn't like a secret contest where the band only wants the biggest fans to buy it. A band wants as many people as possible to know the album is coming out and wants to generate interest behind it.

There is planning behind the release of an album. They're not going to release it on a day with an album by a huge artist, but they're not going to release it on a day with no other big album releases either. They will want there to be people in the music stores buying albums, but not so many that it will be detrimental to their own record. First week sales numbers are important and there is a science to the planning and marketing on an album. If the album was coming out in January or Febuary, there would already be a set date and you would know it.

I'm with ya NMF. This is my opinion not knowing anything about the record industry.

So they "finished" the CD on the 30th. That's a huge part of the new CD equation but there are still so many details. Since they only just recently decided on the title, have been in Vegas and doing other holiday things, they still have artwork, promotions etc. before we see anything. They'll probably have to work on a new video too to correspond with the next single. All part of this big marketing snowball that accompanys a new CD.

We've been patient...time has flown by since we were waiting for the release of Better Days. When was that? I can't even remember. So excited though.

Yeah I was kinda thinking this too. Here are my ideas:
1. They said April to cover themselves in case something goes wrong and they do need to release it later.
2. They're saying April so they can surprise us with it coming earlier.
3. A certain, secretive, never-before-heard rival band is planning to release their cd just before the Goos do that way they can rake in better sales and destroy the Goos' chances for fame and popularity, and the Goos want to make the rival band believe they are releasing the cd in April so they can release it earlier and have the higher sales and fame.

yeah

How about they said April because its coming out in april?

Maybe April's like the "snow date". ::)

...or they need to do the mixing.

...or the graphic designer needs to do the cover art.

...or they want to release it on my birthday.

i used to work at a record store, and they would tell us release dates all the time that ended up being changed. that stuff is never set in stone. sometimes, we'd only find out the week before that an album was being pushed back several weeks or even months.

if the album was being released in january or february, we'd have tour dates by now.

if it doesn't come out on my birthday (feb 21), i'm gonna be so pissed. they will be sorry they didn't. they should be worried about how this affects the fans aka me.

hehe. jk.

......

....

...sorta.

but seriously..i wish "sources" would quit sayin one release date period then a different source sayin a another one a few weeks later. it's pretty sucky.

I'm sure we'll hear something soon directly from GGD.COM. Only then will we know for sure. Come on, the waiting is the hardest part...just like Christmas! I know I'll have mixed emotions (mostly excitement) when I finally get my hands on the new CD. I'll probably just hold it, look at it, kiss it, be scared to open it, then after 3 hours of looking at it, I'll wipe the drool off of it, open it with butterflies in my stomach and listen to it over and over again...

THEN wait for the tour dates to be released, try to get good seats, see them for the first time live in concert then wait for the NEXT CD....and so on and so on and so on...until there is no more Goo.

THEN, I have to wait for all their videos to come out in a collection. Then the inevitable "lost songs" GOO CD. Then John's solo project(s), Robby's solo project(s), Mike's drum solo instrumental project....

AH...the joys of being a Goo fan....hope it never ends! :nanner: :rockin:

I used to manage a music store....and people would get so angry at US because stuff got pushed back. It used to drive me nuts. Especially if it was something that was highly anticipated (like a rap cd) and there was no announcement of the date being pushed back...yeah, that was fun.

I'm sure the album will be out sometime in April....lots to do before then....putting together an album is alot more than just recording and mixing. Besides, April will be here before we know it!!

I believe they wanted an early 2006 release, but that was just impossible.
think about it, they just finished recording the album in december. they still have to produce it, mix it, tweak it up a bit. the whole process after recording takes time. just like when you finish a movie shoot and then come back for reshoots months later. things are never this perfect that you can expect them to finish recording and then mix it and finish it all to realese for the next month.

so, as impatient as i may be, im still betting on an april release. though i hope one of you will prove me wrong soon :)
