I'm gonna get killed for this, but I thought that title was good. melancholic and one that sticks. :)

but I like the actual, announced one, too. very much.

who's that guy on the cover?

Tim Roth famous for starring in Werner Herzog's Invincible :whistle:

Oh, & for directing paedo, incest romp "The War Zone"

:S :scared:

Bleak? C'mon....
These comments don't sound too good to my ears.

I also much prefer the title to the working title, and was a bit concerned about the last shot at mass communication bit, just because it's a final/negative few words - I was worried I'd come on here after going to the official site to find you'd all known about something that stated it would be the last album.

thank you!

I've realized I've seen his Vincent And Theo

And Reservoir Dogs, surely?

I seem to be one in the minority that preferred the working title. I suppose this title will grow on me. That's what I'm hoping anyway.

I lol'd.

Well, it's supposed to be their last with Sony... unless they renegotiated their contract at some point.

Just don't mention Rob Roy or Planet Of The Apes.

noo, JFPL was their last with Sony

->Random Highlights -> Re-signing with Columbia Records

for how many albums, that wasn't said.

Yeah. I'm thinking Your Love Alone Is Not Enough

:(

I think James seems to have cleared up the last shot at mass communication part. In that this is their last shot at appealing to the masses on the radio etc.

i'm glad they changed the title too - i really like this one.


and is that a crab ladder i can see? it may upset the supermarket shoppers!

Wonder if they'll do something like they did with the Underdogs 7"? Hope we get a download track or something within the next couple of weeks, at least!
