Can anyone confirm the song's lenght? I saw on one forum that it's 03:01 which would mean a sad Tik-Tok-Compromise lenght.
I've been around the world for a number of reasons. I've seen it all the change of seasons, and I, my lord, may I say nothing?

Why?
Because nickname's universe is slightly different to ours

A parallel universe indeed. Whatever Nickname is smoking, I wouldn't mind a toke..

Oh no, could this lead to Nonetheless being the shortest PSB album ever? Hotspot is only 42 minutes long, Bilingual was almost 12 minutes longer. I dare them to go below 40 minutes. I'm not eager listening to a punk record.

Amazon are saying 3:02. Same length as album version of I Wouldn't Normally.. which to me is so much punchier than the single mix. As Neil once said, 'it's not how long a song is, it's how long it feels'...

Oh a new thread perhaps of "PSB songs that end too soon"? There's a lots of songs (not just PSB) where I'm always wishing for a longer version.

Well, we have listened the verses and the chorus in the snippets, there is no room for much more.

Loneliness 5:37
Feel 5:02
Why am I dancing? 3:32
New London boy 4:52
Dancing star 3:01
A new bohemia 4:00
The schlager hit parade 3:28
The secret of happiness 5:28
Bullet for Narcissus 3:50
Love is the law 5:00

If my maths is correct, that comes in at 42:27

I only know these lengths as someone who has an advanced copy (because they're interviewing them today) posted a screenshot online and also said they are "loving the album.."

These tracks are of potential single-length. Of course Loneliness is 5:37 so this is pretty meaningless
