    Also I'm wondering why they haven't revealed the songs lengths yet. Saving that for phase 2 maybe?

    I honestly don't think that's important.

    As much as I love an epic track (ie the Little Bird iTunes version) things like Clowns or Eat Yourself are just 4min.

    You never quite know which ones are going to hit the spot more.......

    What I'd like to know is the names of remixers chosen for Annabel.

    I hope there's no remixes at all for the TOU era.

    For the style it seems like it's going to be that just wouldn't work. Much rather have longer/different versions done by themselves or stripped back ones etc.

    For a faster album like Supernature or Head First remixes by external artists were not only a great idea but a lot were excellent.

    Not for TOU though, hopefully.

    If they really have to do remixes, then they ought to line up some incredible artists/groups to do so. I don't mean Zedd or Arno Cost or anything like that. I mean CRYSTAL CASTLES, and Ladytron. Perhaps Grimes and Data Romance?

    I think what's disappointing is all the talk of how dark the album is. However, the trailer does not seem to reflect this with the exception of the artwork for the album.

    It's basically been said before, but a friend of a friend told me (...I know how that sounds!!!) that fans of "Felt Mountain" are going to love this album..

    Ah, on iTunes Germany.

    Alvar is 5:38, their longest (studio recorded) song!

    The only track shorter than 4 minutes is Ulla at 3:49.
    This looks very promising!

    Wow, they are rather long. I'd still rather have more (even if shorter) tracks.

    I wanted more at first, but considering the song length, the concept and the time it took to plan the album... I dunno, it may be better this way.
