Yes paying a high price wouldn't have bankrupted them, but when you have more important things to spend money on, the reaction might simply be Hey, I will not pay that much for that album. Maybe 4 less songs wouldn't have meant an extreme cheap price, but a regular one could have eliminated the perception of an expensive product.

The Eagles Long Road OOE debuted at #1, AND was a double album, AND had an exclusive deal with Walmart, and I believe was only $9.99(maybe it was $12?) THAT'S how you sell your sh1t. And sold 3.5M in the U.S.(counted as 7M sold, since it was a double album).
For lack of a better and more socially accepted word....our band is retarded. Bad decisions abound!
