What are everyone's thoughts on album #5 becoming cover album #2?

I'm really disappointed, especially with all the talk about how the next album would definitely be an "original" album. I have a feeling that the decision was not WP's, just like what happened in 2003-04.

I think it'll be nice to hear them sing the Beach Boys/Mamas and Papas songs they didn't do on California or that "Songs For My Father" CD, but I want originals, dammit! :) Somehow I doubt cover versions of California Dreamin' or Good Vibrations would play on AC radio.

(Maybe WP should start their own record label; that's probably the only way we'll ever hear all-original material from them.)

If this happens....I honestly don't know how much more patient I can be as a fan. I love and support them, and always have, but come on already!!!! They know an original album is what fans want and that was a hot question this last album on their promo tour and interviews. What happened to Glen and the girls having some great ideas and songs, etc? What about all the songs that have been written since 2000 when they were originally trying to get the group back together?

I will be beyond disappointed if the next album is covers. If it's a stupid record label forcing them to do this so they can just have a contract, shame on the label for being so unoriginal and shame on the girls for not standing up for what they believe.

Everyone knows that WP can sing their parents' songs, they've done it! What's so fascinating about it? I can't even imagine the critics feasting all over this idea and the reviews completely dissing the lack of originality and talent as artists in their own rite. It will be very ugly and embarassing for them.

Please....reconsider this idea!!!! Never will I dislike WP and they will always be my fave, but this will be a true test of my loyalty.

Sad & Disappointed
