The album got pushed to 2008, more like an April/May release

[scatcat]

don't see all 3 of them as singles, can't imagine A Boy... being released as a single for example - hm, could be the same as with Wild Mood Swings, where they introduced Mint Car, Want + Jupiter Crash on the 1995 festivaltour.
on the other hand, structural changes show that they finetuned the songs for the album + did really work on them inbetween Mexico + the Euro tour.

I can say this: A Boy I never Knew.. I would certainly buy a single of.. This has a very special meaning to myself , and I'm almost sure a lot of fans out there who have had or lost children... I say ... RELEASE IT !! 
as far as "Freak Show'.. well,, I'm glad it's been changed a bit, cos I really didn't warm to it.. but then again, I still don't get BANANAFISHBONES!!

hehe, same with me + Bananafishbones...
personally I'd love to see A Boy... as a single, I was just trying to be realisitc, as I can't see in 2008 a record company releasing it as a single, the usual blabla stuff, unfortunately.

Will the new album really be titled '4:13'?

[[labyrinth]]

i don't think so...
that was just a "work in progress" title,
at least...i hope so ! 

[Janko]

WELL IT SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE NUMBER


4

As for the production of the next album, I'm pretty aprehensive about it. I have a feeling this will be the best album in some time, but it's going to be instantly destroyed due to the current trends in music:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war


Every album since Wild Mood Swings has suffered from this badly, so I really hope that the new album is released on vinyl. I'll be more than happy to spend the extra money and go to the trouble of transferring it. Fortunately, vinyl will never suffer from this problem, as the needle will jump off the turntable when the volume is pushed beyond a certain limit. But I'm really not sure how much longer vinyl will be around.

It's really sad that you just can't buy a decent sounding new CD these days. And they say the world is high tech now? Hmmm... I'm not so sure.

a producer can't turn s**t into gold.. i'd say bad cd mastering can turn gold into s**t. my whole musical
tastes have changed because of the loudness more. rock music no longer sounds good these days. and forget
about everything made after the magical date 1996 when cd was destroyed unless it is marginal stuff..
this is why i listen to retro-sounding electronic music these days, it's a pleasure to the ears, combines
the best mastering technologies with sound you can just drown to..
To the point.

I'm not into retro sounding, vinyl stuff. i like digital sound, but i've been
disappointed with all recent cd's i've bought from rock, alternative, indie
genres. i won't be buying the new cure disk before i've listened to it at home,
in lossy or whatever to only see if it has any dynamics into it.

I'd like to hear Bananafishbones played live again 

[nausearockpig]

something other than Shake Dog Shake from The Top would be hot!!

[rodney]

Hmmmm.......what else from that album would work with this lineup?

[Janko]

IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR SOME NEWS ABOUT THE FIRST SINGLE
BUT STILL - NUTHIN' !

[scatcat]

It has been about 4 years since an official release yeah?

It has been the longest time between records/singles ever.

This just makes this next album quite an anomaly hey?   

[Janko]

IT IS RATHER UNUSUAL THAT ITS ALL SO QUITE ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM

[joqua]

well 4 = number of members (same as the 4tour)
and 13 is the number of studio albums they have put out (japanese whispers and boys don't cry don't count)

[[labyrinth]]

yes, that was the explaination for the 4:13 title written on the tourbook,

but i don't think, that'll be the actual title.

if it will really be released in late June, I expect the promo for the single approx. beginning->mid May (so the radionstations can play it 3->4 weeks in advance) + the release of the single 2 weeks in advance of the album.
