I'm with ya but I see why they're doing it - these EPs aren't really getting much attention outside of the UW faithful, whereas a new album would. I also get the impression that some of these tracks may be kinda unfinished and may get fleshed out (see - "Soniamode")


as far as speculation...I was gonna start a thread for that but figured it might be a little early. my first guesses are "Another Silent Way", "Listen to their No", "Custard Speedtalk", and "This Must be Drum Street"...but on the other hand those tracks feel nearly perfect in their form now

Re: DRIFT SONGS - New album, Oct 25, 2019
 

yeah that'll need to happen right after the final Episode and before the tracklisting is public.

Re: DRIFT SONGS - New album, Oct 25, 2019
 

Good call. Speculation is fun, but we still have the better part of at least two more episodes, maybe a third, to be surprised (see "Listen to their no". Goodness, that came out of almost nowhere, save the pre-sale announcement, and doesn't it just set a new high bar?)

Further, what are the fan favorites might not be what Rick and Karl choose as representative of their evolving sound to a broader audience.

In any case, it's quite a fun ride!

As I listening to the EPs, I think it's not too hard to guess what tracks will be on the album. Every EP has 2-3 album potential tracks, but the rest are demoish, or too long, or too experimental for an album.

Re: DRIFT SONGS - New album, Oct 25, 2019
 

Yes, i agree, but if i add up what i'd deem "album-ready", it's far over 80 minutes already.

Ep1:
Universe of Can When Back 6:04
Dexter's Chalk 5:01
Another Silent Way 5:27
Low Between Zebras 2:57 (this track has really grown on me, and features prominently in the Drift album announcement)
Ep2:
Brussels 4:18
Soniamode 3:32 (although i'd bet we get the Aditya Game version - 6:23)
Threat of Rain 15:13...presumably edited if included?
Ep3:
Dune 11:08 (already the "single: version)
Custard Speedtalk 9:44
This Must Be Drum Street 6:02
Pinetum 12:11
Ep 4:
Listen To Their No: 5:54

That's 87+ minutes just so far. Okay, maybe these aren't all included, or some get edited, or maybe Molehill or Poet Cat get on instead? Still, it's gonna be an interesting mix, given all the strong tracks thus far. As for if it's too long or experimental, well...see their back catalog.

Re: DRIFT SONGS - New album, Oct 25, 2019
 

i reckon we could get Appleshine in some kind of new form or another. i mean, it is listed as the (Film Edit) on all platforms... that coda at the end just has to lead into something

Re: DRIFT SONGS - New album, Oct 25, 2019
 

I also think that Appleshine Film edit in an even shorter edit would fit on the album.

Re: DRIFT SONGS - New album, Oct 25, 2019
 

If my fave tracks will be on the album, I think I won't buy the box set, the EPs will be enough digitally for me.

Re: DRIFT SONGS - New album, Oct 25, 2019
 

I have to believe all of the “singles” released so far are probably on the album in some form:

Another Silent Way
Appleshine
Dune
Listen to Their No

Also...does Brilliant Yes that Would Be count (since they used it as an intro on Ep 1)?
I also assume we’ll get Border Country ast some point too? Which could be included since they’ve been playing it live...

Re: DRIFT SONGS - New album, Oct 25, 2019
 

Listen To Their No must be longer in a final edit. Really. Unless they make it some form of single collection.

Also, I wonder about 52 weeks, 52 releases. That would include all the gorgeous bonus material and makes me nearly nope for a bonus USB stick or something with all releases included. *drool*
