Final Albums (that weren't)

"the final cut"

Pollard was pretty adamant about Half Smiles of the Decomposed being the last GBV album

i think he meant the last gbv album that week.

Half Smiles was definitely the last GBV album at the time. There was a 6 or 7 year break. I guess he needed the name to ride on to pay bills again, because, when it comes down to it, GBV is really just the most popular name for him to release 20 songs at a time under.

Yeah, they played a "last ever gig" and everything.

Robert Smith declared every Cure album from Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me the "last Cure album", but I think Bloodflowers really was supposed to be and Smith was considering winding down the band after reaching his 40th birthday. I was surprised when it was announced they were working with Ross Robinson - all the praise from nu-metallers and alt. rockers must have given him the energy to continue.
