Shut the fuck up Mal, I was completely serious about both that and about the recorded sound of Sgt. Peppers literally changing over time based on how many copies it sold

Houseofglass11 you and the other ten houses of glass are straight-up sheeple

"album sales are ALWAYS rounded numbers" jesus christ so you honestly believe that every single record ever released sells a perfectly round number, like if I go buy a copy of MTAE (which I obviously will NOT) then 99 other assholes automagically simultaneously buy a copy for themselves

What a bunch of phonies, blockheads and untroo fans we have littering the landscape of our once-great forum

Actually if only you buy a copy, the sales for that album to the nearest 100 would be 0.

I -- wait. Wait. Shut up, but I just realized I should have said 9,999 other assholes, because the album numbers are all in tens of thousands. Goddamnit. Goddamnit I fucked it all up. Houseofglass11 don't read this. Please don't. Shit.

So it was unlistenable for the first few hours it was released?

Sgt Pepper was released simultaneously world wide and sold 250,000 copies in it first week just in the UK. It sold 2.5 million in the US during it's first 3 months. So you are pretty clearly pulling some weird theory out of your ass.

It really sounds like, if I'd said Sgt Pepper was unlistenable until it sold, say, five million copies instead of five hundred thousand, and then the sound of those records started measurably to improve—not just the fidelity but, for instance, say, there was originally a completely different and totally shitty song called "Fixing a Hole" which gradually got replaced on the record over time as sales went up by the much better song we know today—and I mean, the literal pressed record that someone purchased on the day of release would, of its own accord, slowly change what was recorded on it—you wouldn't have blinked

Wow, you are something else. No, when album sales are discussed in the music press in articles and such they are always presented as rounded numbers. They never say in RollingStone "Smashing Pumpkins 1993 album Siamese Dream that sold 10,456,054" copies. Yeah, I'm well aware that none of the albums have sold a perfectly rounded amount. Go take your meds.

LOL check out this blockhead walking back his outrageous claims. Way to change the goalposts son.

I'll have you know my meds are all up to date and are irrelevant to the discussion at hand. I doubled up on them just to confirm and, yep, definitely feeling like they have nothing to do with THE FUCKING TRUTH, HOUSEOFGAALALLS!!!!!!!!!11

FACT: The Pumpkins camp refuse to release the MTAE sales numbers. You can call Zuzu's yourself and confirm: in fact if you call them more than ten times they will start slamming the phone down the second they hear your voice. That is FEAR. Fear of the TRUTH. MTAE's impact on the music industry: NIL. The numbers (LOL rounded or not, whatever houseofglass11) don't lie.

MTAE? More like M-TEA.

Like "tea" but also like "empty."

I'll just go ahead and assume topleybird is trolling.

Even on the sp board that level of insanity is too hard to fathom.
