Not too sure about that. Definitely as a download though. If I found it on vinyl I'd even get it in that format as well!

I am loving this album so far! Listened to it twice last night on my stereo but today I will listen on my ear plugs ( a true test for me)! I think they came back strong! Let's hope they also tour. I'd love to see them live.

First impression is that I only like the song System Overload. neutral

But then again, that is a hardcore cool electrofunk track, it positively rocks and is one of the best songs they ever did! cool

Unfortunately the rest ain't as funky. Sounding too modern for me, in a bad way with all that autotune and bad drum sounds.

I think I'll pass on the album and just get the two versions of System Overload...

RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

U seriously only like 1 track?? Wow! I agree System Overload is a hell of a song but the others are great too. Fear of flying is amazing! I also love, Your love is a motha. You need to give the other songs a bit more time. The tracks do sound a bit more modern but I think it's tasteful and not desperate. Like If they came back sounding like Pitbull that would have been a damn shame. They sound like a more modern version of themselves.

There are a few tracks that I might start to dig if I listen a bit more, with the ones you've just mentioned being the most likely candidates. But on first impression I am disappointed, also because I don't like a lot of the drum sounds and the autotune.

I never liked lots of their old songs either (too poppy/cheesy often). It is just that when they DO hit the spot, they hit it in the hardest way possible!
