The Album was actually pushed back to February 11, 2014. The same goes for Foster the People's album. Probably, they didn't want to compete with Lady Gaga, Eminem, Britney Spears, Chris Brown, One Direction and so on, in this quarter of the year.
Maybe I'm late to this, but looks like the album is just the two EPs plus what would have been the third. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/crosses/id741582603
Thanks to this thread, yesterday I discovered Crosses.. just got the two EP's, and i'm totally getting the album when it comes out. This shit is good.

So it's basically just the previous EPs along with another EP's worth of new music. Kind of wish they would have been more clear on that beforehand.
True, but artists usually prune the best songs from previous EPs. This is just straight up the first two EPs in their entirety with five new songs included. Not at all what I was expecting. I don't begrudge them for it, though. The EPs were initially free after all.
Yeah I feel a bit disappointed to, after learning this. I mean its awesome I'll get all the songs together on one album, but at the same time i was fully expected them to do a FULL album of brand new material. ah well. Looking forward to still hearing it nonetheless.
I guess it's kind of disappointing to get 2/3 of songs we had already heard before. But nevertheless, really good album! It all flows together pretty well, and the new songs are fine.
