Golden Platitudes for the next single?

Personally I think golden Platitudes would make a great single, but which song do you think should be released next?

I think my Hairy Left Testicle called Dave might make a good single but it ain't going to happen...

Naaaa, Descent.

Nah I think SKON and PFAYM will do as singles, no need for a 4th

Golden Platitudes is my favourite on the album, but it's not single material.

No, I'd like to have Platitudes as a hidden gem on album. It's a beautiful track, but I'd stick to the SKON and Postcards as singles. Which one of them next - don't know - it's 50:50. But probably both will be released as single.

I'd love to see Golden Platitudes as single, but can't really see the singles being anything outside the first four tracks.

My preference for singles would be, in order of release:
2) PFAYM
3) SKON
4) HA!

As you can see, I have decided Hazelton Avenue benefits from the addition of an exclamation mark when abbreviated. I like Golden Platitudes but for me it's an album track.

To be honest I think they could just about get away with releasing any of the songs as a single.

Initially SKON hit me as a big single but on further listens Postcards gets better and bigger. I'm 50/50 on what they should release next. I still think SKON would've been better with just James singing.
