I think its best to review them on what they give, not what you want.

yes it is ballad heavy,but I think song wise and the production, these are some of the strongest songs they have ever done.in fact I cant remember enjoying as many new tracks per a new PSB CD as this.

... and the ballads all have great basslines and beats too. Which means they "kick" subwoofers in cars quite nicely :)

thats true zog, but as far as upbeat songs I'm very careful with integral with my truck sound system as I dont want to be known as the guy that has the truck with the exploding windows.

That didn't stop Behaviour from being an absolute masterpiece.

Personally, I'd like to shake the man by the hand; he's actually managed the job of making a Dianne Warren (or whatever her name is (modesty permits me checking) ballad palatable. What I've heard of the album is cool and sparkles in a way PSB haven't in a long time. I actually found 'Very' dissapointing when it came out, I quite liked 'Nightlife' because you could take drugs to it and pretend it was 1996 (but with slightly (although not much) better lyrics). This is the best PSB album, from what i've heard, since 'Behaviour'.

I might have said something similar when 'Release' came out, though, so you might not want to listen to me...

i've always enjoyed the fact the fact that psb always sound so much better when alphabetically enahnced; thats why i'm looking forward to the thetford gig so much.....
