*Sooner Or Later You're Gonna Have To Do Something About Me didn't quite fit as an option, so it's shortened to "Sooner Or Later..."

It could change in the future but right now my favorite tracks are : The kids..., Deep sea divers and The fireball...

I'm sure it will change, but man, The Fireball...., what a friggin' song. I also voted for Survival Expert and Private Rain.

You won't get votes from outside of Oz until we actually get to listen to the album (still waiting for mine), unless of course people managed to stream it, which was far too difficult with the ABC stream being "Oz only"! In the end I thought **** it, I'll simply wait til my copy arrives! You might want to keep the poll going for a while!
The band is never going to get well known outside of Oz if they do all the publicity build-up on the web (which they did) but then only release it in Oz to start with. By the time it gets an official release elsewhere, the keen fans (like me) will have already bought it on import, so they also lose the initial rush of buyers in that country, therefore making it appear that there is 'low demand' for their music in that part of the world, which just compounds the problem! It's a "lose/lose" scenario! But then, what do I know?
SFK means absolutely nothing to anyone that I've ever spoken to in the UK (apart from everyone who knows me), so the mild rush in sales that might be noticed even if they did release simultaneously with Oz would probably go unnoticed in any case, but I just think they 'miss a trick' with modern worldwide internet publicity and accessibility!
When they last played Europe in 2004 they just about managed to sell out the only concert they played in the UK (Mean Fiddler), where my partner, my son and I were pretty much the only 'Poms' in the audience of mainly tourist and ex-pat Aussies (same as when PD played in London in 2010)! Shame, but there you go.

I get your point, I'm from the UK as well and I'm impatiently waiting for my import copy, but I think the only way we'll get a release over here is if (or hopefully when) the band comes back to tour Europe again. If that happens it'll surely be well into next year and from a record label's perspective it'd make sense to release the album at the same time to maximise sales. I'm not sure but I think 'Everything Is True' was released a year (or maybe even two?) later in the US to coincide with Paul's live dates there.

Had to change my vote. Back To Normal has grown on me, and I adore Sooner or Later. Only one that remained the same was Miracle Cure.
