I haven`t heard any of it, just I'm with stupid. Haven`t heard the samples either. Really looking forward to hearing it all from scratch Monday morning

When I finished work a couple of hours ago I saw the picture of the front cover in HMV`S window

I remember before going to college, I'd get off the train and rush to Our Price. This was @ about 8.30am, for the release of the ltd edition Very/Relentless CD.

HMV Japan have just delivered my copy of the Japanese Ltd edition. I'm now in a quandry about whether to listen to it. I originally intended to wait until Monday and listen to that. But I've actually got a copy of Fundamental in my hands and could so easily play it tonight!

I still haven't heard the album. I only heard I'm With Stupid (of course), the instrumental version of Psychological and (ages ago, without ever playing it again) the Dianne Warren demo for Numb.
I hope to receive the album tomorrow.

Everytime I listen to some PSB´s interview online and they play some song or clip from Fundamental I either put fingers in my ears or turn the volume down.
I heard Psychological for a couple of minutes yesterday. I walked past one restaurant in Helsinki and they played it. I thought it was a cd but it was Radio Helsinki.

That's exactly what I've been doing, well, putting fingers in ears doesn't quite work, but I do turn the volume down
I haven't heard Fundamental yet. This time round, I wanted to go back to how it was in the old days and hear the whole album on release day.

If I´m lucky I´ll get it on wednesday. No hope of getting it on monday. It´s so stupid to live in this country.

Have both version in my hands as in Italy cd's come out every friday (hence, two days before the scheduled English release date). Still have to listen to the remixes, though, as I'm still drooling over the songs of the first cd. Lunar Park and The Sodoma And Gomorrah Show are my personal faves at the moment, no surprises then....
The overall feeling is that this is typical Pet Shop Boys (mmm... what a revelation!) in a way that it looks like Tennant/Lowe have done their best to sound exactly like themselves. It's good news to me, but not great. In some ways I liked Release or everything that implied some sense of "adventure"....
Hope I haven't been too confusing....

For me, Fundamental, is just THE BEST album Neil & Chris have written till now... so, Reznorxx, think you need a few more listenings in full fore

An 8/10 for me so far

I must say that I regret downloading mp3's of all tracks from the album... But it's so hard to resist when people here are talking about their favourite new songs on this forum. Minimal this and Integral that... I had to hear them too!
Now it's not that exciting to wait for the real thing. But at least I still haven't heard "Fugitive" (nor the rest of "Fundamentalism") so I will play that one first!
Just got a letter that the cd has been sent away from CDWOW.
