Surely you are going to listen to the songs in the order Neil and Chris intended them to be heard? What difference does it make what Peter Robinson thinks about a song? Aren't you going to make your own mind up? On second thoughts, perhaps that is a bad idea..... :roll:

When I say something always appear the same people saying the same things. I don't know what's the funny thing of using this Community for your own interest.

I use this forum to talk about PSB, I don't like to fight with other people. If you have something against me the best you can do is going out of this forum. I don't think it's a good idea going replying all the things I say about PSB or my opinions.

The most important thing here are the PSB, not your personal problems against me (which I don't understand maybe your anger came from other forums, but it's not something you shouldn't resolve on this one).

If you don't want people to comment on your posts then don't post them in a public domain. I have not been at all rude to you but I do wonder why you would listen to songs in a particular order because of a reviewer's opinion; that to me is an extremely strange thing to do.

I can see Nicknames point regarding playing the songs in a different order to what Neil and Chris have decided. I just opened a cabury's selection box and the first bar was a fruit and nut. Because the guy at pop justice doesn't like that particular bar and me neither, i swiftly moved on to the cadbury's caramel. So there you have it.

That's specious reasoning. You know you don't like fruit and nut already so it doesn't matter what Peter Robinson, Paul Robinson or indeed Helen Daniels thinks about it.

Surely any album is put together by the artiste following many (certainly in terms of PSB) hours of deliberation? I always give any new album a few blasts straight out the box as it were, resisting any temptation to play tracks that I already know I like, and certainly wouldn't be swayed by any reviews. If I listen in another order later then so be it.

It's all about opinions eh?

I would imagine that we will all listen to the songs in the same order - ie the order in which they are leaked. :P

It's not only the review of Popjustice, there are some additional things. We all know, for example, Minimal will be the first single of Fundamental. When a song is a single is because is one of the best tracks of the album and Numb was going to be a single of PopArt. So maybe these ones are two of the best songs of the album.
Integral sounds like an anthem according to Neil and Chris (this kind of songs use to be excellent).
The Sodomah and Gomorrah Show is the one I have chosen according to the review of Popjustice.

Anyway, I don't know which ones are the best songs because I haven't heared. But I think is easy to recognaize which songs could be new PSB classics. Popjustice can be wrong with one or two songs but not with all of them

Your comments sometimes are offensive and you know that.

I understand that approach, but I would like to know what you understand by being abused.

Yeah, I was bullied and I did. Bullying is more common that we think, sad but true. Being a "victim" of bullying doesn't mean you have never behaved that way.

I've had abuse all my life buddy and I try to get on in life. But on the subject of abuse, I was referring to people demanding and threatening me for mp3's they haven't got.

A bit true, but I can honestly say that I wasn't anyone like a gangleader or something, just one who joined in for no moral purpose when I was a kid. Obviously I grew out of bullying.

I suppose, ALL the songs of the album will be leaked at the same time.
In this case, the first one to hear would be "Psychological" because we know it, more or less.

If you wish to listen to them in that order, then I'm going to argue with my suggestion, putting the CD on random play (when I get one that isn't open).

Techno - how have you got hold of a copy of the album? My understanding is that the tracklist is not decided yet and no actual promos have been made. The CD that PopJustice have is one of only a few that are Neil or Chris's personal copies and have only been given to people by either N or C...
