That extra track at the end seems strange. Many board members have been calling it a "bonus" track, but if it's a track on the sole version of the album (so far...), how can it be a "bonus"? Bonus tracks are usually extra songs tacked on to re-releases or on different album formats (i.e. on vinyl versions of an album, or on a cd version of an album that had only been released on cassette, etc.). If it's on the new cd, then we should think of the song as part of SR's vision of the album, symmetry be damned! That said, I sure hope it doesn't mess up with the flow of the album. I'd hate for the last track to be something epic with a beautiful fade out, only to be interrupted with something uptempo. Kind of like an encore to one of her concerts.
