Contrary to what some reviews and the title suggests, this is not a Hi-NRG disco stomper or particularly epic sounding, if you count out the big-ish intro. It's a bit 60's with hints of glam rock then it goes a bit b'side-y or like something off Robbie Williams' first album. I don't really understand why this has been raved about so much, it just doesn't feel special at all. I guess the chorus is supposed to be uplifting and catchy and it's not bad by any means, it's just that it feels like a spectacularly produced re-write of I Didn't Get Where I Am Today. I also oppose to the use of the lyric 'where angels fear to tread', that should have stayed on Discoteca. 6/10
He's took this with a pinch of salt....
Of course this is a once in a lifetime production.

Be careful. He also thinks that the latest Sugababes album is the strongest pop album of 2005.
According to me, I won't read any reviews any more. It's boring and always the same. Fundamental will come out soon and then I can make up my own mind about it.

Reading a review is like not following your own instincts to just buy the CD and give it a listen first

Is it? the one involves the use of sight and interpretation, while the other requires not getting in the car, or not going to the local record shop.

Reading a review on here is a way of getting a clue of what an album I'm looking forward to will be like. It's a bit patronising to suggest that reading such will effect my opinion when I finally hear the record. If this was the case and people were as suggestable as you think, the U.S. Government would be reviewing countries rather than invading, don't you think?
