maybe the just got lazy and thought, 'fuck it, we'll just keep what we got and save it for the next album'

"due to a lack of trained trumpeters, the end of the world has been postponed indefinitely..."

I don't think the fact that the single has been pulled is a sign that the album didn't sell well or that the revamped version is any less likely to appear, quite the reverse if anything. KJ are an album band. They always were but even more so now. That there was even talk of a second release suggests to me that the album did better than expected.

Having said that, I must confess I don't recall how official the announcement of a deluxe version was, but I seem to remember Jaz brought it up in an interview. The unreleased tracks exist so you'd expect them to do something with them and this would appear to be the most logical option, if they're not using them as "b-sides".

Time will tell. I do hope we get to hear all the extra tracks and remixes. I agree it would be tragic if we didn't.

I don't think signing with Spinefarm was the smartest move they ever made, I'd have much preferred to see them with Malicious Damage, but it hasn't been an unmitigated disaster. Yet.

I was looking forward to the extra tracks.



If they cancel the single, is there a danger that there will be no extended package album? Logic would dictate that the single would be used to promote the revamped album.



Was it ever confirmed that there was a deluxe version coming or was that supposition on our part?
