I agree. It's preposterous to vote this out before the likes of 'Luna Park' and 'Minimal'.Fugitive1979 wrote:tenlow wrote:The ResurrectionistE-Mail Vampire wrote:The ResurrectionistDrem wrote:The Resurrectionistleesmapman wrote:ResurrectionistHillbilly wrote:The Resurrectionist (it's only a b-side after all)drunk14 wrote:RessurectionistNightcrawler wrote:The ResurrectionistPaddymacall wrote:The ResurrectionistNaughty Zoot wrote:The Resurrectionistglennjridge wrote:The ResurrectionistRonald42 wrote:The ResurrectionistRoundhead General wrote:The Resurrectionistkennym wrote:The ResurrectionistGalataPSB wrote:The ResurrectionistRiikka wrote:The Resurrectionist![]()

theres a good song in there.
it just sounds messy. unfinished like it was recorded and released before the proper re-write to smooth out the edges before recording.I like the music to the chorus but the verse parts sound like some kind of muffled dirge.
its certainly better than blue on blue girls dont cry and bright young things, at least to my ears.

I agree although I think Sexy Northerner is one of their very worst songs ever. As a b-side I think it is only surpassed by Too Many People and Delusions of grandeur.Fugitive1979 wrote:In my opinion , it's their best b-side since Sexy Northerner.Joemoz wrote:I agree.

Hmmm, I would answer for oneself to you both. Don't get me wrong, I quite likes this song. But, don't forget it's all depends from personal taste and favours: personally I would rate it much lower than "Luna Park" (my third favourite from Fundamental - next to "Minimal" and "Twentieth Century") and rest of the songs. Furthermore, in my opinion, "italian boy" wasn't best b-side from this era. Currently it's "Bright Young Things", for me. I'm still waiting for "Integral" release to hear it's b-sides and finalize my judgement.Joemoz wrote:I agree. It's preposterous to vote this out before the likes of 'Luna Park' and 'Minimal'.
(Hey, how about "Integral" b-sides - BlueSwan, don't you think it were too early to start this series ? Although, now it's only rumours by Chris' indiscretion...).
By the way, my next vote will be "Integral". Great song with outstanding lyrics and long-expected single, but something odd in core of it, which impedes me to like it completely.
Should we bet on winners of this contest - I mean, it's not far away from final round? Guess, it'll be battle "Minimal" vs "Fugitive". Hope, it'll be "Minimal".
"I think it’s an amazingly good album, I’ve got to be honest with you. It’s one of the albums I feel most proud of. But for people who don’t really know us, and have a sort of an idea about us, ‘Electric’ is more what the Pet Shop Boys are meant to be."
