You're absolutely right about that, he said he felt Mick betrayed him because he backed out of wanting to do a double album, but didn't have the cajones to tell Lindsey he changed his mind. I sense there is a history of distrust between Lindsey and Mick regarding Mick saying whatever it takes to keep the band together, and moving forward.
Lindsey absolutely was fighting for a double album throughout the documentary though. But his little diatribe about "not involving himself in the project..." was more about the
type of songs that made the album, not the
length of the album itself. His main goal for Say You Will was to "reinvent the band in the most credible way possible." Those are his exact words. He absolutely wanted a double album as a part of that, because he felt it proved the breadth of material the band was capable of. But he also wanted to put a good deal of 'edgy' songs on the album, and greatly feared the album being cut down to a single album would mean the band would pick through his songs, and only grab the "safest" ones.
