The following is a message from The Society of Music Fans for the Elimination of Double-Disc Releases.

Hello. My name is Jeff. Not only am I the president of TSOMFFTEODDR, but I’m also a member. I’m here today to talk to you about a crisis that’s been looming over the industry ever since music was invented back in 1947: pointlessly over-inflated double-disc releases. All-you-can-eat buffets that someone has revisited one too many times. Gratuitous opuses whose bone structures aren’t developed enough to support their own heft. Self-indulgent jams where the guy who said “No” was quickly shown the door.
