"The View from the Afternoon" was expected to have been the band's third single, following UK Number Ones "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and "When the Sun Goes Down", but the band announced in March 2006 that its next record would be a five-track EP, which thereby disqualified it from being listed in the UK singles and albums charts because it was too long to be a single and too cheap to be an album.
"The View from the Afternon" diperkirakan telah menjadi single ketiga, mengikuti UK Number One band "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" dan "When the Sun Goes Down", namun band ini mengumumkan pada bulan Maret tahun 2006 lagu akan menjadi EP dengan 5 trek, yang demikian didiskualifikasi dari yang tercantum dalam single Inggris dan album chart karena terlalu lama untuk menjadi single dan terlalu murah untuk menjadi album.
