So, I mean, this could easily be a single CD. Right? I have albums that go up to 80 minutes. Maybe the separation is more conceptual than anything else.

"The way Butler and Chassagne, who are married, sing those lines in "Reflektor" is a sublime moment in the commotion."
Just one of the many funny lines in this.

yep. they've talked that it's a separation of vibes (i.e.: a classic double album)
