A New Option

For those of you unhappy at the DAYLIGHT ROBBERY involved in Robyn's latest album campaign: here is a (sort of) solution. Basically, if you bought Parts 1 and 2 and are only interested in the new material, you will be able to buy Part 3 as a standalone EP. This still doesn't calm our qualms RE: the Body Talk 15-song album tracklisting, but whatever. Above is the Body Talk Pt. 3 artwork - slightly different from its parent album's cover.

This brings us two new problems:

1. Basically what Robyn has done is record an album, Body Talk, and officially leak it (release it) in drips and drabs as 8-track EPs. It's a bizarre approach to an album campaign, almost as bizarre as Lady GaGa's re-release-cum-second-album, but if it works IN THIS CURRENT UNPREDICTABLE MUSIC CLIMATEZZZZ then whoop-di-doo for Robyn. What will irritate us, however, is if Body Talk Pt.s 1 & 2 are treated as actual studio albums, and not EPs, because to be honest, if they're being re-released as a 15-track album, either that makes the 15 track album a compilation or the (THIS IS THE RAMBLING OF A MAD MAN WILL YOU CALM DOWN PLEASE AND SEE A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL ABOUT YOUR HORRIFIC CASE OF MUSIC-RELATED OCD - ED)
2. Secondly, it will annoy us if the standalone EP, Body Talk Pt. 3 has only 5 tracks, as opposed to the 8 on Parts 1 & 2. To flesh it out and make it complete they should include studio versions of her "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart" cover, "The Girl and the Robot" and (to really bring the campaign full circle), an acoustic version of "Dancing On My Own".

We'd like to see a non-Robyn fan try to make sense of this post - it'd be like advanced calculus or something equally baffling to ordinary humanz.
