Trend in lengths of tracks on TGCD

[Dhalaren]

I'm not new to Katatonia, but it's the first time posting on the board so I thought I'd say Hello.

The question I have, maybe some of you could answer, it's just a question of interest really. I noticed there are four songs on The Great Cold Distance labeled as being 4:20 long ( at least according to Windows Media Player), which is kind of a coincidence. But I was wondering if it was in reference to Hitler's birthday, I see the number around a lot, spray painted on walls and such.

I'm not implying the band has any relation to Nazism, haha, but just curious to see of it was purposely set up like this? Purely a question of interest.

Certainly it's not a reference to Adolfie's birthday, pure coincidence I'd say.

It's called consistency.

I'm surprised no one even raised the possibility they may be smoking pot?

Im sure they sparked a few spliff's or etc. while recording TGCD...some songs have an euphoric feel
