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.."
"loving the album"

How exciting !!

Can't be long before the first fan review...! Presumably the embargo on reviews lifts quite soon?
Meanwhile, let's play 'guess the ballads' -
based on what we know, and on track lengths, I'll go for:
- Feel
- Why am I dancing?
- The secret of happiness
- Love is the law
But I think this album might have quite a few mid-tempo numbers...

Bearing in mind what they've said about singles needing to be no more than three minutes these days (for radio), it's perhaps understandable that the lead single is that length. We have the extended mixes to satisfy our need for longer versions too.

"Bullet for Narcissus" is potentially one of their best titles ever.

Agreed. A quintessentially PSB title.

For me the ballad will be :
Feel
Why am i dancing
A new bohemia
The schlager hit parade
Bullet for narcissus

[OFF-TOPIC POSTS MOVED]

MODERATOR COMMENT: Could the people calling for moderators please use the Report this post button to let us know if there is an issue? We may not act on your report, but we would at least know there is a potential issue that needs consideration. There's no point moaning about moderators doing nothing if you don't bother doing us the courtesy of actually reporting something to us. We're not in every thread every hour of the day.

As regards this thread, I think a bit of common sense on all sides would help. A little bit of consideration for each other wouldn't go amiss. If anybody thinks they - or somebody else is being targeted - contact us. If anybody feels somebody is spamming the board, likewise. Anyway, let's move back on topic.

I have split all of the off-topic posts off from this thread and locked them in the OT2 forum. No more discussion on this here.

I have been looking for the CD here in the US but so far no luck, so ended up canceling my Annually order and reordering it together with the Dancing Star CD - this way, I’ll only pay once for shipping (and luckily Annually was still available!).

Anyone else think it would be a jolly nice thing if they dropped the album version of Dancing Star for us all to enjoy over the Easter weekend?

I don't like when the thing drop during the week, you just have much less time after work to enjoy it, especially when you love the snippet and feels like there's an eternity before the release.

Anyone saved those snippets from Beatport? Dying for a taste of this again, the 15 second teaser is just not enough.

That’s the thing about negative energy, about hatred. It can be positive. It throws into relief all the things you know you like. It tells you, by elimination, what you’re about. Sometimes you can only define yourself by what you hate. Hatred becomes an inspiration; it makes you think, “What I’m doing now I totally believe in, and I don’t care what other people say.” Guided by hatred, you don’t have to follow the herd. - Neil Tennant

I see more people say “to drop” rather than “to release” a record these days. “Dropping” sounds like something you do with a bag of cement. Maybe I’m too old. I’m not even 30.
