I agree that dismissal of two EXCELLENT pop songs like Pandemonium or Did You See Me Coming is pure music snobbery. I also wish the reviewer didn't badmouth Fundamental, it holds such a special place in my heart :wub:

"Fundamental" is a wonderful album. I love most of it.

Let me know if you see the special edition! I wandered to HMV Henry St, HMV Grafton St and Tower and none of them had it. Just the regular edition. :rant:

Oh I quite like that one now. It's not one of the better songs, but it's cute. The strings are lovely too.

We have to wait until the 23rd over here... Most of the time records are released earlier so I hope to get my copy tonight. Until then the 320 kb rip will do. :)

Oh please do. Typical fucking Ireland. Or maybe it's Parlophone's fault. They really are spectacularly *shit*.

Q: What would you call an order given by a landlord for the occupant of their premises to assume a common praying position?

It's an okay album. It doesn't really blow my mind.

It's like one of those Popjustice jokes of the week!


PS. My reply was for the Neil Tennant joke not for henz's horrific taste in music.

Well it's much like the first single. It's pleasant enough but it hasn't really got any wow factor for me.

No joy in finding the special edition... but the standard's actual CD is gorgeous. I love it!!

As much as I am enjoying the album, no one song is really jumping out me as "that's the one". I like just about all of them, but am yet to fall in love with any. That said, I've only listened to it five times.

I am a bit shocked that they left the Phil Oakey track off the main release. It's a magnificent piece of electro tomfoolery.

My problem is that there are about six "That's the one"s for me.

I just adore this album.
