Unless they're expecting a 4th single, though I don't think that's likely.

Balconies would be a decent single, but as Lydia says I don't think we'll get a 4th. We're lucky to get a third!

Thanks for that, Takk. I suppose it's kind of obvious, due to the title. But nevertheless, I'm a bit disappointed. I don't really like Postcards.

I was hoping for golden platitudes, but I think I'm in the minority.

I don't think Golden Platititudes is among my favourites. I like The Descent as well though.

I was hoping for that too.

I love 'Golden Platitudes' to pieces...but it's not a single. It's too slow building and doesn't have a chorus. 'The Descent' has a chorus, but it's a rubbish one.

'Balconies' wouldn't be a bad single, and I do always like the idea of trying to represent different sides of an album via the singles, but a fourth single would be another of the commerical tracks - 'Hazleton' or 'I Think Found It' perhaps (two of my least favourite tracks).

If they were to release one of the rockier tracks, it'd be more likely to be 'Entertainment', although I'd prefer 'Don't Be Evil' which is a slightly more credible 'indie rock' track rather than 'Baconies'' GNR-esque cock-rock (my favourite rock track on it is 'Auto-Intoxication' but it's too weird to be a single).
