the type is chosen for legibility... curious to hear specifically what 
you don't like... i'm still uncool with the timing and the lack of 
rollover, but we're working on that for the next update in a couple 
weeks... such is the nature of launching prematurely...

yep, trying to choose what will work, and what will not look too 
busy... plus get client approval...

design tied to any particular album...

yeah, working on those (you may have seen my other posts)... 
planning a modification to them for timing, rollover-ness, and other 
schtuff...
