Nowhere near as good I don't think!

I prefer them doing orchestral stuff, Battleship Potemkin is my favourite thing they've done, but for the next album it would be nice to have something more electronic.

I love the way the tracks intrude on each other and are symbiotically related: Sodom and Gomorrah is the high before the low of Luna Park, Integral destroys the optimism of Indefinite leave and God willing is the resurrection after Numb.

That's very nice *feels like a dork*

They've kinda flogged the "strings into synths" thing to death with Nightlife, Potemkin, and Fundamental. I like the idea of teaming with an up-and-coming producer (Stuart Price or Cameron Carra of Dr. Dre fame perhaps) for some electronica.

Knowing that they would do something different, maybe an electro country music album next?
