Weell, Japanes has fine in one hand, because thez alwazs get some bonus stuff. But on the other hand...this Japanese version of PTB IS NOT THE ORIGINAL IDEA OF THE PTB ALBUM. Original idea from chems was to be 11 tracks and the Surface on Air is the final of the album. This is the vision from chems. End of Surface on Air should be end of album, and japanes peoples must hear another bonus track. Curious...

Just click on the word English to change it to English...or just click on the song name to hear it. You don't need to know any Japanese at all.
So? It's not like it ruins the album. PTB is still there. It's not different.
The reason why the Japanese always get bonus tracks is so that people there buy thier own goods and keep the economy going, instead of importing goods. Thats why a majority of the time you will see albums coming out first in Japan (such as the new Chems and the upcoming Daft Punk) and lots of bonuses.

equinoxe24 point is something is said a while back. there is no need to buy the japan issue, unless of course you live in japan. i want to hear the album as it was intended, no tracks bolted on to the end!!! lets face it giant will turn up at some point during the push the button promotion. patience is the only problem. i got a lot of jap import album and i can think of one bonus track on any of those albums that has not turned up on a uk release. they are bonus tracks not Japanese exclusive tracks!!!
I'm a fuckin doughnut

Exactly :)
Plus, I can think of a ton of Japanese Bonus Tracks that never were released outside of Japan. Nobody knows, and nobody will know until the second single in the UK.

Yeah, but when Japanese will buy and hear the PTB for 1 year for example, that he come to europe for holiday and listen to the european version of PTB, he will think that album is incomplete because there is no the last track!!
I think however, this bonuses really change the point of view on the album as the complete album. This is not my really problem, but it's just my thoughts...

I agree that the bonus tracks make the CD not the definitive version of the album, and I guess that's part of the reason I've ordered the UK version as well... but it's not true that the Japanese will think there's a track missing if they see the European version or whatever, since on the tracklisting inside it says "Giant - Japan ONLY bonus track". If anything, they'll be pleasantly surprised when they listen to the CD if they don't look inside first (which is hard to do if you open the case to get the CD :? ) because Giant is not listed on the back of the case (i.e. it's not added to the head as part of the back cover artwork of the album nor is it listed anywhere on the back)

I never thought I would ever hear a fan of a musician say "the less tracks I hear, the better they are". Thats essentially what you are saying about PTB being a "perfect" album without giant.
PTB ISN'T EVEN MIXED. I would understand if the songs were mixed with eachother, but they aren't. They are individual songs. If they play well next to eachother, Giant has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on that. Thats why it is a BONUS track, it's not even listed on the track listing for the album.
Say it with me.
BONUS. NOT "new final song according to the Chemical Brothers"
