Am I the only person who think the CYA Remix sounds like one of the trouser enthusiasts mixes off bilingual

I like both b-sides from Dreamland (An open mind and No boundaries are very cool) much more.

Decide could be an anthem for Scotland's independence and for Northern Ireland's reunification with Ireland. Do we want to sink with England and Wales or do we want to swim with the European Union?

And once again I like the B-side more than the A-side on a PSB single. Awesome track, and I actually like the remix quite a lot as well, something that doesn't happen very often in my case. Gin & Jag frisky mix came to mind as I listened to this, and I feel it has a bit of Relentless feel to it, especially when the more "hopeful part" of the track kicks in.

Reminds me of Subculture with the effects on Chris's vocals.

Finally, a new PSB track that really excites me! :D
I absolutely hated Dreamland, and loathed An Open Mind (sounds like bloody Kygo!). Burning the Heather was ok, but kinda boring. Decide comes from a different place, like Electric and the the B-sides from Very. Dark and euforic.
Just don't get why they haven't put it on the album! :?

No, it's a lovesong about two people, Neil and Chris, constantly fighting. Quit putting politics into everything.

Geez, imagine you've heard Where The Streets Have No Name (Can't Take My Eyes Off You) before you've heard a sound from Behaviour - you'd ask the same, wouldn't you? But after hearing Behaviour you'd realize it would sound totally out of place on the album.
Have a look at my taste in music:

That’s the thing about negative energy, about hatred. It can be positive. It throws into relief all the things you know you like. It tells you, by elimination, what you’re about. Sometimes you can only define yourself by what you hate. Hatred becomes an inspiration; it makes you think, “What I’m doing now I totally believe in, and I don’t care what other people say.” Guided by hatred, you don’t have to follow the herd. - Neil Tennant

I like Decide very much, it's essentially a back to the 90s track, reminded me of Relentless too
Also like the remix

The A-side is too Release for my taste. Cannot relate to the lyrics and it's not a lushly orchestrated ballad (not a big ballad fan in general I must say). Also had too look up the meaning of heather. Not a very poppy word, neither in English nor Dutch ('heide').

Perhaps Decide wasn't finished in time for the album? Do we have confirmation Stuart Price produced it?
Also I barely listened to the CYA mix, but it's pretty damn good too!

Yeah, it's a Stuart Price production.
