I've never really understood this criticism , when albums were made on vinyl it was commonplace for albums to be 30 - 40 minutes long. Just because you can fit 80/90 minutes on a CD doesn't mean you have to.

As for this album , I thought it filled half an hour nicely. And it ended before I had chance to get bored of it. If anything other bands should learn from that.

Yeah, but having listened to the singles for months now, the shorter edits just seemed strange. The album tried to make a batch of songs made for the club into one made for your living room, and it didn't work out.
