    Ya no talk about it. But I agree...what's with the side a on the cd?
  • Smarter_Than_USmarter_Than_U Posts: 515
    Because there is only one side on a cd that actually plays music so just side A. As opposed to records which have two sides. They are being funny.  I wouldn’t read too much into it.

    At first I thought it was being funny. But the more I think about it I think it's a "clue". Or a piece to a puzzle that we don't have all the pieces to yet. Nothing about this album is funny. It all has meaning, and it's a serious concept (climate), so being cute with a "Side A" on the CD isn't the right move. Part 2 is coming.

    I agree.  I don't think they're trying to be "funny."  After all, during the recent interview on the Bill Simmons podcast, when questioned about DOTC being dropped as the first single to fuck with fans, Eddie replied by saying "...fucking with them? [the fans] is ah...we would NEVER.  Challenge them?..."  Check it out minute 2:01 of the podcast.

    The very last page of the LP booklet has the "lungs" logo, all by itself.  Half of it is on the spine, and the other half is literally the last thing in the book.. why wouldn't it be all 3 logos, like the original album teaser image?  That one specifically..

    Leg #2 will coincide with "Side B" ?  I highly doubt all these little conspicuous additions are for nothing, but remains to be seen!

    Maybe part#2 will come out in the fall and be much more directed at Trump and the political times? 

    Stone: Eddie you wrote to many political songs. We can't have every song on the album be about Trump.

    Eddie: Eh.. What..? They are not all about Trump.

    Jeff. Matt and Mike: They are all about Trump

    *studio audience laughs*

    Stone: I'm putting Buckle Up back in. And all this political stuff is getting cut.

    Boom (on speaker phone): Why don't you just release a second album, in time for the election?

    There are a few funny things inscribed on the vinyl. 
    Also, the CD says 500RPM, which although its true, its kind of funny to note, because nobody ever changes their CD RPM speed. 

    I mean, would I love a part 2? Sure.  But I would not bank on it.

    I think I was blinded by hope... I have no "yea but" to the 500RPM thing. That is just being funny. I'm still going to hope tho. the only one half of the logo on the spine to me is the most telling. We'll see!

    they're still selling the download of 'can't deny me' with the advertising blurb of 'from the forthcoming album' so there's that.

    yeah, if i were to cling to anything on this, i would point to the logo.

    My hope is that, if there is a “Pt. 2,” Can’t Deny Me is nowhere to be found on it. Of the Earth, on the other hand.

    Should have said "Side A-C" on the CD.

    They are also joking about 500rpm on the side. Side A means nothing guys...

    Just seen on another post that the CD version has both “lungs” at the end of booklet. 
    Was hoping & holding out that the vinyl spine might mean a 2nd album, but this burst that bubble...unless anyone wants to try to continue convincing us otherwise?! 🙏🏻

    That last page is the exact same in the LP booklet, as well.. and seems really intentional.  I take it to mean that the rest is yet to come.

    Has anyone mentioned if the CD spine has the half lung or not ?  


  • JPPJ84JPPJ84 Hamburg, Germany Posts: 3,464
    the CD spine only has half a lung

    I bet the Flaming Lips have probably tossed around with the idea.
