ok maybe i'm the only one who feels this way:
but dammit why didn't they release minimal as the first single?

i think that even without hearing the rest of the album that minimal is going to be the best song...its so PERFECT?

i am one happy person right now...i never in my life thought that DM would make a song like "precious" and i never thought that PSB would make a song like "minimal" in 2006..........

minimal had better be a single or i'm going to be VERY ticked off!

I'm With Stupid as fine. And if Minimal had been the first single it probably would've had a silly Little Britain video. :? I like the I'm with stupid video, but sometimes I think it undermines the beautiful production and the music in general.

I hate the way MINIMAL is sung and the parts:

Light and shade
time and space

And the whole track is so weakly and flat. There is no huge final like popjustice said and the new order guitars are also not so dominant.
"Weakly and flat" couldn't be further from the truth IMO - have you tried turning the volume up and giving the bass a boost!

Well sorry, Mark, if we want to discuss something like this on a discussion forum for the band of which we heard a new song. We're not making you read this, you know.

Minimal sounds great with NO influences! I understand they released Stupid first.

I agree... in my opinion his review couldn't be further from the truth.

B@tman

If you don't like it that is absolutely fine - it's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

However, it is surely patently obvious that the song is neither flat or weakly, regardless of whether you like it or not.

Is it the melody?
What don't you like about the chorus?
Don't you like the beautiful string parts?

PS At the time of writing - you are the only person who has posted and said they don't like it!
