Wot?

Well in my opnion it's up there with New York city boy as cringe-worthy camp-pop and should definitely not be a single.
It's a good pop song with great production, granted, but the theme is just not what PSB need to sell.

The next singles should be Minimal and then Integral.

I think this song is a really beautiful (a classic) and this is the single PSB need. I love Minimal but I believe only PSB fans are going to buy it.

It's a daft idea. Release it as it is, or don't. No compromise. I wonder if their forthcoming world tour will be called 'The Sodom and Gommorah Show'. Be a wasted opportunity if it isn't.

I also think that to release S&G would be a mistake. It would simply reinforce many people's view of PSB as a camp pop duo. The song is great, but let people discover it when they buy Fundamental after hearing Minimal or Integral on the radio.

Sad, I know . .. . but true, I think.

well this would never happen but I do notice if you take out the sodom and gomorrah vocals for the chorus, the "Sun, sex, sin, death and destruction" section near the end would make a beautiful chorus if they wanted it to for the whole song instead.

so,I believe if they cut out sodom and gommorah during the chorus and inserted that it would still work.they could callthe song well....."sun, sex, sin".


but obviously this is never going to happen but I am starting to fall in love with this song as is. its got a weird dynamic to it. a evil sounding song title with light 60's music.

It has too many major chords for me

It has too many major chords for me

yes, the melody is a bit obvious, i suppose...but i am a sucker for those kind of songs...if they did remakes of billy dont be a hero and the night chicago died it would be fine with me lol

Dont worry boyjohn, it's me that's in the minority here not liking S & G.

I am sure the remixers will have fun with this track. I hope they dont dissapoint me and at least keep alot of neils vocals in it but totally change up the music into something more electronic and less 60's. be interesting to see what they come up with on fundamentalism.

Sodoma is not camp at all. It would very important to release it as a 2nd single.

Rather it not be a single, i can't get over it sounding to much like SPARKS meet Pink Floyd with a 70s glam rock anthem feel

But i do love the first 1 min of the song best PSB start ever.

Some years ago I used to talk with a friend about Trevor Horn should produce a PSB album again. It has proved to be right. Now I think TSAGS should be the second single. I strongly believe it may have a strong performance. Shame I'm with stupid was the first single. Now we could have Minimal as the second one.

any modification would destroy the song. they better leave it alone choosing another single.

m+

I agree with minimal..

I think "Minimal" will be a good single but FOR PSB FANS ONLY. I don't believe this song could be apreciated by general public. With Numb, I think could happen just the opposite.

Talking about TSAGS. If we talk about its quality, it would have to be a single.
