hey.. just wondering what people think of the amount of songs richie writes. obviously filter albums are among the greatest music ever released, we all know that,but they could easily be better perhaps? every other artist pretty much writes 20-30 songs for an album, cuts it down to 12 for the record, releases another 10 as b-sides, and the rest are hidden away for a future rarities release, or for fans to enjoy live. surely this means their records are of the highest quality possible, cause you can weed out any songs that were written during a not so lighting inspired session. but rich doesnt seem to like this method. he writes just enough to fill up a record tracklist, then lets the remixers do there business for the singles, and hey i love some of the remixes, but i just feel that the albums could be even better thats all. obviously filter b-sides would be way cool (more filter for us) but i guess im writing this more to ask "do you think filter albums could be even better if rich would go on a song writing spree, and then cut the songs down for the record?"

…That’s a toughie… But I think that we need to take it from the perspective of that it’s about what Rich can give us not what we want from him… I’ll be the first to admit that I’d love a few b-sides and of course more Filter but maybe it’s out of the question for Rich… Maybe it’s all he can write… For some songwriters songs come naturally and in large amounts… But for others it takes ages for a good idea to hatch and they try there hardest on each song so they end up with 11 great songs as opposed to 20 mediocre songs… It’s hard to say really… I think it’s about Rich and his capabilities… But good topic!… Really got me thinking… And that’s hard for anyone to do…<br> LJC

quality...not quantity.
I've heard a few albums that are 2 disc's and they suck...and i've heard EP's that have 4-5 songs that kick ass. I'd prefer a nice Filter EP with 2 songs if need be, than hear Rich try to put out too much, too fast and have it be very unbalanced.
