I think the bullet is slightly bigger than the other circles, so its closer to them.
Yeah I thought that, but it's slightly closer to the one on its left.
i think that's just an artist not being exact

It's useful to remind yourself that the songs will be the songs no matter what they "look like". Getaway could be terrible. The title isn't very inspiring, but I'm still holding out for that subject matter. This track, though, is the first one to make me wonder whether this artist is stretching to make this song fit into his art direction concept.

This would be a lot of funner if we didn't already know half the song titles... (with 7 tracks to go, we already know 3 or 4 of them... MYM, LB, Infallible, SBM???)
But at least they followed-up that first day with 3 straight new titles!

Swallowed Whole - 5:47 est

Sirens - 7:20 est

that was via their twitter account. The vine was probably posted a little earlier.

Apologies if this has been discussed, but it's a long thread and I can't keep up. I do realize Mind Your Manners is track 2, but has there been any indication that these titles are being released in any particular order? Is Future Days track one, or just the first reveal?

I will say that I like this artwork more than anything they've done in a long time (I don't usually care much about artwork, but do love some of these).

I think it's reverse order by the looks of it, but we don't know.

it would have definitely been in exact reverse order had the last artpiece formed an R, but it didn't.
But to be quite honest, Yellow Moon didn't look much like an L to me

I really don't think they're spelling anything with these.

With 8 letters in PJ and 12 tracks to reveal, not all 12 tracks need to be involved in the spelling eh?

I don't think so either, and I don't quite understand the fixation with the idea.

What happened to this place?? Shouldn't we be mocking the shiznit out of them if they actually spell out something - or worse, the band name - with the album artwork?
