Jeez, take a chill pill and stop being such a crybaby. I think you're completely off when you describe Minimal as cheesy euro, and to slag off a song (CIH) entirely because you think Neil sings in falsetto, (which isn't the case, as it's only an higher octave) thus failing to take in and absorb the beautifully arranged music, is just strange. I mean, he sings in the same way in the Twentieth Century chorus, yet you rank that higher.

Will you say that i am a complete idiot when i give my review. Do you think i throw dice in the air and then i put my mark to the songs????
I rated 20century higher because i like the electro rythem (that`s because it is higher than cih). So now you understand it. In 20 i don`t like the

Stay with me
this century
together we're better PART.

Ok than i don`t like this higher octave sorry for getting this wrong. What i like from CIH is the last part where he sounds a bit like Oasis (don`t know if this is the right discription).

Why is it not accepted when i hve my own opinion.

<Liking Alert> Again listen to LUNA PARK this is a very very beautifull track.

Re: batman

It wasn't exactly clear why you rate TC higher from your well written review.

Since you're the only one posting somewhat negative opinions on the songs, maybe we want to know why and pinpoint what we think is good with the songs?

*note to self*
God, why do I even care?

I didn`t have nor did i want to write a WELL WRITTEN REVIEW. I just made little discription what i like and what i don`t like. AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO POSTING NEGATIVE OPINIONS. THERE ARE SOME NEGATIVE OPINIONS FROM OTHERS PERHAPS NOT TO SUCH AN EXTEND LIKE I DID.

*note to myself*
Why do i even reply if no one cares.

I hate it when someone who is a fan (since 1986) can`t express his very missfeelings of a new release which is coming up. Sometimes i think it is better not to live in a bubble where you think everything is fine and wonderfull. I think having this negative opinion could be productive. You must not say to everything PSB release oh greeat wonderfull so the best thing they ever done.

But how can you think Minimal is rubbish? You're being challenged for insanity rather than heresy.

I didn`t want to start a discussion about every PSB track. But as you write you don`t like TSIAS this is the case.Not every song is everyones favourite.

*Ironic mode on*Be carefull what you say. Soon you have fluffmoln and Janet Street-Porter slagging you off why the hell you don`t like this extremly beautifull produced song. *Ironic mode off*

Did i ever discribed you as insane or did i used any other silly word NO. I`m not INSANE. It`s my OPINION not more.

Is everyone INSANE who don`t like release or like release..

Obvious single? From some crappy boy band perhaps...certainly not PSB :shock:

You're the only one taking critique/questioning/banter too personal.

Going back on topic: As have been mentioned elsewhere, if they now wanted to include Numb on the album, why didn't they either a) do it even more their own way or b) go haywire with even more bombastic chorus/strings instead of this half-assed attempt to please the contemporary adult pop/rock crowd? Maybe Neil should have wailed, Toni Braxton style...
