My advice would be: Make this a happy album!
For some reason, "Numb", "Casanova in Hell" and "The Sodom & Gomorra show" don't sound like contents on a very happy album. Myself being miserable, I'm looking forward to a PSB album of such exquisite content of melancholy so that "Love is a catastrophe" will sound like an acid remix of "I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing".
Well, we know "Numb" talks about the pain feelings of Diane Warren (the songwriter of the song) when her mother died. It's a sad song (we listened the demo of the song on the bbc show "The Diane Warren story").
"The resurcionist" is not going to be a happy song, that's for sure.
Taking a look to the title of the songs, the correct title for the album could be "GOTHIC".
Fast classical music with PSB rhythms, like some parts of Battleship. Breaking glass like in Battleship. Emotional moments like in Battleship.
A song like Nyet on the new album.
But: no Pride and Predjudice music and no Dire Straits music, like some parts of Battleship.
Dreaming of the Queen
visiting for tea
You and her and I
and Lady Di
I would really like an album with songs in the same style as jack&jill party, if looks could kill and so on... now THERE's a couple of songs that i loooove..

How about natural disasters? they have always ignored it in their songs...
That may be because they have never faced a "real" natural disaster? I am sure Neil would write one if he had suffered...
The CELL by Stephen King instantly hit number 1 in New York Times Bookseller Lists selling well over 200 thousand copies in three weeks. This affirms my opinion: People really need an occassional good horror read...
A hi-nrg (!) or a house album would do just fine, for me. Complete with all PSB melancholic trademarks spread throughout the record... plus lots of saxes, flute and trumpets playing along with the keyboards (I like brass...)
