Printablethe only song I can't stand is Pandemonium. I know everyone else loves that, I think it's a stupid pop melody. Too stupid for my taste.
Lyrically it's good, as always. Who else would put a greek phrase into a pop song? [Edited 3/28/09 3:45am] | |

It's that classic PSB thing where the first time I heard it I thought it was the most boring thing I'd ever heard. And then the melody clicks. And then you start listening to the words. And then suddenly it's your favorite thing on the album. [Edited 3/28/09 14:06pm] | |

 Y'know, I haven't bought an album since Dylan's Chronicles was released - that's gotta be at least five or six months ago. Music has just been dead to me lately - it's like there's a switch turned off in my head these days, because nothing excites me, there's nothing I want to hear, and nothing I hear makes me want to hear anything else. On top of all that, I probably haven't really enjoyed a psb album since Bilingual. But this post lifted my skirt a little bit. I'm buying this thing today. | |

YEAH, but don't blame us if you dislike it though! My faves are still Love etc, Vulnerable, All Over The World, The Way It Used To be and More Than A Dream. | |

When he goes into that different singing voice toward the end, it's bliss. Damo, it's a grower. Give it a little time. At first it seemed like the last couple, just sort of "eh," but the songs on this one definitely have staying power. | |

By the sixth song I thought the rest of this cd could be total shit but this is the best thing I've heard in 2 years.

By the sixth song I thought the rest of this cd could be total shit but this is the best thing I've heard in 2 years. All Around the World threw me at first. My first thought was, the Nutcracker, really? But then the fact that the song's all about the global peddling of love stories sinked in, and suddenly it seems like a stroke of genius. My favorite quote about the PSB from critic Robert Christgau: "Calling Neil Tennant a bored wimp is like accusing Jackson Pollock of making a mess." | |

Still waiting for the US release (ordered it from Amazon, which I guess isn't even carrying the import or is just waiting to ship them out the same time as the US release). I'll be happy to join in when I got it so keep talking. | |
