"To hell with these 40 minute-long, tightly edited albums," said rapper Kid Cudi. Possibly*.
He has announced on Twitter a new double album to follow up 2014's surprise album Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon.
No word on a title or a lead track yet, but he is clearly very excited...
In July, Kudi - real name Scott Mescudi - joined the cast of hip-hop drama Empire, but has apparently since dropped out due to that old favourite... "creative differences".
Ah well, TV's loss is clearly music's gain.

Gucci was released from prison in May 2016 but had released a string of albums while behind bars for a series of charges including firearm and marijuana possession and disorderly conduct.
It could of course be a single Outkast track Gucci has been working on. Watch this space...

Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Former One Direction star Zayn Malik has told fans in the UAE that he does not feel "confident" enough to perform a show in Dubai.
In an open letter, he apologised for not being able to attend the One Night Only show, which was due to take place on 7 October.
"I have been working over the last three months to overcome my extreme anxiety around major live solo performances," he said.
"I feel I am making progress but I have today acknowledged that I do not feel sufficiently confident to move forward with the planned show in Dubai in October."
The singer pulled out of the Capital Radio's Summertime Ball in June minutes before his appearance.
The trailer for the new Oasis documentary Supersonic has been unveiled, giving fans a look at some of the previously unseen footage of the band plus commentary from Liam and Noel Gallagher and their mum, Peggy.
The film's directed by Matt Whitecross, who made The Stone Roses inspired feature film Spike Island, and is produced by Asif Kapadia who directed the award-winning Amy.
Due in cinemas on 2 October, it documents the band's rise to fame in the 1990s up to their career pinnacle at Knebworth.
At a special preview screening of the film at Festival No 6 on Sunday, Whitecross said he could see the band - who split in 2009 - getting back together one day.
"It will happen, I'm sure. The idea of never seeing them again for me is impossible."
You can watch the trailer on YouTube although please be warned before you do that in true Gallagher style there are a few big old swear words in there.
Craig David releases video for Sigala collaboration
There are just a couple of weeks to go until Craig David caps his comeback with the release of his first new album in six years.
Until then, he has shared the 360-degree video for his new single - Ain't Giving Up - a collaboration with London based producer Sigala.
Craig said: “I’m back in that 16-year-old kid mode, hungry, passionate and making music that I’m truly proud of."
He added: "I want to deliver the music that people have been asking for, for so long, following my intuition and coming from a great place.”
And his new album, coincidentally called Following My Intuition, is due on 30 September.

Sia has unveiled new track The Greatest featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar.
It's thought to be the first song from her new album We Are Your Children and it's on Spotify and Apple Music.
There's also a new video which doesn't feature Lamar's verse or - true to form - the singer herself.
Instead longtime Sia collaborator Maddie Ziegler, 13, takes centre stage, donning the requisite wig for a dance routine around what looks like a dingy Oliver Twist-style workhouse...
To celebrate Radio 1 has been taking a look back at Sia's career highlights from making her security guards dance to her Carpool Karaoke.
Fans pay last respects to late singer Juan Gabriel
AFPCopyright: AFP
Music fans in Mexico have paid tribute to legendary singer Juan Gabriel who died last week at the age of 66.
Fans lined the streets of Mexico City as the singer's ashes arrived from Ciudad Juarez, here he grew up, and were taken to the capital's Palace of Fine Arts.
The prolific artist combined Mexican genres such as mariachi, ranchero and norteno music.
APCopyright: AP
Juan Gabriel, whose real name was Alberto Aguilera Valadez, died of a heart attack in California, days after performing to 17,000 fans at the Los Angeles Forum.
He sold tens of millions of records and had his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Former Spice Girl Melanie C has debuted her first new material in five years on Chris Evans' Radio 2 breakfast show.
Anymore is taken from her new album Version of Me - recorded in Los Angeles, London and a garden shed.
"Calling it a shed is not really fair," she admitted to Chris. "It's a little recording room at the bottom of the garden of one of the guys from Turin Brakes, so it's a little bit more refined than having a few rakes in it and a lawnmower."
Mel said her new album is still recognisable but has moved on from her previous efforts.
"I really wanted to do something different. I've always wanted to do something quite electronic. It's still pop, I'm a pop artist and I always will be, but it's nice to experiment.
"I feel like music's changed and it's good to evolve and my tastes have evolved."

Axl Rose and Duff McKagan give rare Guns N' Roses interview
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
For the first time since their unlikely reunion at the Coachella festival, the singer and bassist from Guns N'Roses have given a TV interview to a Brazilian channel.
Axl Rose and Duff McKagan spoke to Globo TV ahead of the US leg of their Not In The Lifetime tour.
Rose revealed he first contacted guitarist Slash late last year following Coachella's interest in bringing the band together.
"I had called [Slash] and he was on tour or something, and then we set up when we were gonna see each other, and I think something happened to both of our plans and that didn't happen," Rose said
"And then eventually in October, we got together and we had a dinner at my house. And then Duff and I went and hung out right after that."
Rose also discussed his 'other job' fronting AC/DC as a replacement for ailing singer Brain Johnson.
"I'll do that as long as Angus [Young] wants to do it and as long as we can make it work. Guns is really supportive about it. I love that it's my job. I love that Angus is my boss."
Even Beyonce has to pull a sicky once in a while, and the singer's now been put on vocal rest under "strict orders" by her doctor.
She's been forced to put tomorrow (7 September) night's show at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on hold until 7 October.
However a statement said Queen Bey - who celebrated her 35th birthday at the weekend -was expected to go ahead with her show in St Louis on Saturday 10 September, plus the remaining dates of the last leg of her Formation World Tour in Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Nashville.
It added: "Live Nation and Parkwood Entertainment apologise for any inconvenience."

"We've always thought about it as a career rather than one big album," adds bass and keys player Kevin Baird.
