Contrary to what some reviews and the title suggests, this is not a Hi-NRG disco stomper or particularly epic sounding, if you count out the big-ish intro. It's a bit 60's with hints of glam rock then it goes a bit b'side-y or like something off Robbie Williams' first album. I don't really understand why this has been raved about so much, it just doesn't feel special at all. I guess the chorus is supposed to be uplifting and catchy and it's not bad by any means, it's just that it feels like a spectacularly produced re-write of I Didn't Get Where I Am Today. I also oppose to the use of the lyric 'where angels fear to tread', that should have stayed on Discoteca. 6/10
He's took this with a pinch of salt.... Of course this is a once in a lifetime production.

Be careful. He also thinks that the latest Sugababes album is the strongest pop album of 2005.
According to me, I won't read any reviews any more. It's boring and always the same. Fundamental will come out soon and then I can make up my own mind about it.

In the old days, you had to walk it to the record shop

true, though still a different set of functions to that required for reading a review
Reading a review on here is a way of getting a clue of what an album I'm looking forward to will be like. It's a bit patronising to suggest that reading such will effect my opinion when I finally hear the record. If this was the case and people were as suggestable as you think, the U.S. Government would be reviewing countries rather than invading, don't you think?
