Based on only the released material (Gloaming, Victorious Cupid, Deus Ex Machina, the sampler) We can guess that it will be a concept album in which some sort of main character psychologically evolves through different concepts of love (simple love, pure lust, hate, despair, etc...) The other interpretation could be that the album follows a guy called Bob through his trip to the greengrocers. |

I'm 100% certain the lyrics on AVO will make much more sense than the lyrics on TDT. EDIT: Not that they have to make sense to be awesome...  I agree that AVO will probably be a little less senseless, but I don't think they will be anywhere even close to 'making sense', i.e. normal lyrics that 99% of music uses... Although Deus does actually adhere to gramatical rules and the normal principals of line construction, which is a major departure, I'm not sure that any of the other songs do. |

Don't care, don't care, don't care. When I want to hear songs with lyrics that make me reflect on my life, I'll put on a Streets album (haha, only OPM or AGDCFF, mind - the following two have been gash!) or a Pulp album or a Dears album. When I want to hear songs with lyrics that tell me a great story or are otherwise coherently dramatic or wittily entertaining, I'll whack on some Divine Comedy or some Sons And Daughters or some Arctic Monkeys (again, perhaps only WYSIA,TWIN here  ). When I don't give a monkey's toss about the actual words I'm hearing in a song, other than how they aurally work with the music, but I just want to listen to some ****ing amazing or beautiful or euphoric music, then I'll put on a PRR record. (Or a Mars Volta record, or a The Music record, or a Ladytron record, or a Sigur Ros record, or a... you get the idea...) Disclaimer - I realise that some, perhaps the many, of you really love PRR's lyrics and get a lot from them: more power to you, and I really just wanted to hammer my oft-repeated point home that PRR's appeal is all about the aural experience for me, not the intellectual/emotional experience... but the aural pleasure I get from listening to PRR's music massively outweighs my combined enjoyment of music and lyrics for 99% of other bands. |

Conversations on these boards can be a bit like the ones I have with my grandmother - the same ones keep coming up again and again. Anyways, to get this thread back on subject, I just noticed this track listing on wikipedia. It has the timings: "Les Malheurs" - 5:02 "Victorious Cupid" - 3:39 "i) Keep Me Sane/Insane" - 0:55 "ii) Apogee iii) Requiem For The Lovers" - 5:22 "Deus Ex Machina" - 5:40 "Bloodless" - 4:55 "Disconnect" - 5:54 "The Gloaming" - 9:10 "AVO" - 4:47 Keep me sane/Insane is 55 seconds?  ??! What the hell!? All the tracks are actually much shorter on average than TDT...interesting. I think this may be a good thing because it means they've stripped down what they don't need. No more 12 minuters. |

wonder if there'll be more than 1 issue, and if the tracklisting will be different for any of them. Just remember the differences in the TDT's.

I shouldn't have thought so. As mentioned (in this thread I think), the two different track-listings weren't strictly the bands choice.

No more 12 minuters. On Superball's website, they have the tracklisting slightly different, with Keep Me Sane/Insane, Apogee, and Requiem For The Lovers all as one track. A lot of those times are way off. Usually I'd consider Superball to be the correct one, but I don't know. |

That's odd. The superball one doesn't match with what they've sent to retail...
The wiki one is obviously from the promo, and it's possible that the promo isn't the final master (which is where track splits and things happen too).
