I hope the new album will be as good as Hotspot or Yes but i think it will be like more dancey Elysium or something new on its own
Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book. If I could read your mind, I think I'd take a look.

Elysium and Hotspot are quite boring albums.

It depends what you like i like Hotspot i think it's their best album in the last decade and it's like Neil said all tracks from it could be single. Elysium for me is not really boring it have warm and cozy ambience.

Neil says some very strange and contradictory things these days.

I assume it's the passing of time.

Anyway, anyone who thinks Wedding In Berlin is single material deserves to be single for the rest of their days

Well that's an interesting cross over with Stuart Price having done the last 3 PSB albums. I haven't heard the Jessie Ware album, but assume there is some element of complementary style here.

A new producer for PSB though is always welcome to avoid becoming staid.

lmao, true. It does have a bright catchyness about it. But, like most things these days, it could only be a single if it accidentally went viral somehow.

Dreamland, Monkey Busines and Wiill-o-the-wisp were single material from my perspective.
I don't Wanna and Happy People could be but a bit lazy to be honest (talking about quality).
I could even give a chance to Only the Dark before.

Fundamental is one of their more weaker efforts, IMO. I would rank Elysium and Hotspot quite highly.

Hey, God Willing was the single (prior to Dreamland). Dreamland too (after God Willing). I don't remember about the rest.

Yes I agree, certainly my two least favorite PSB albums along with Release.

Thank god you aren't working in the music business. God Willing was about as much singles material as Suburbia (reprise).

Do you remember where you left the plot? Obviously, you lost it quite some time ago

I was talking about Will-o-the-wisp. It was one of the main songs of Hotspot but it never was single material.
