Numb is nor catchy

I think it's incredibly catchy, i find myself singing it aloud for no reason sometimes.

4th single : Numb!

Exactly!

I think luna park is the best song they have done in years and blows me awaybut I have to say numb as its diane warren and it sounds adult contemporary and lyrics everyone of all ages can relate to.

Integral won't be 3rd single - see my Topic Posted.

Marketing wise for one, MINIMAL - INTEGRAL they're too similiar.

3rd - NUMB (top 20 max)
4th - INTEGRAL (remix - write a 3rd verse!)

Integral far me still should have been the first single, just get rid of the 'euro cheesey boppy' bit - MORE EPIC! It's as if they were afraid to 'go all out' and produce a truely ANGRY track.

Yes, but compare the shitty 4 minute version to the beautiful 6 minute version. They shouldve release the 'TV Playback Edit' instead for single release. It's miles better than the 'Radio Edit'.

What does the 3.33 version do differently that makes it so much better? It's hard to see how taking any MORE off it would be an improvement, but I'm willing to be proved wrong. And you seem to have a bit of a thing about this and I'm intrigued to know why.

Third single should be Integral with full length Trevor Horn 12" version and an orchestral overture. Release should be around Sept 11th.

Fourth single should be Numb (re-recorded with proper English phrasing - ditch the pseudo-American) - try for the anti-Xmas No.1 !!

I would also like to hear an extended version of Indefinite Leave To Remain (preferably on the maxi cd of Integral)

The structure of the song is better and works better

I find that "Luna Park" keeps growing on me. After a few listens I would have said "Numb" would be the best choice for the third single, but now I'm starting to lean toward "Luna Park" -- it just has such a wonderfully lush sound, and a great smooth vocal from Neil.

I think Numb is the most radio friendly of the bunch, if that's the name of the game.

The only time Numb would be considered radio friendly is when you are getting into your car for a nice long drive, with a nice knapsack in the back seat filled completely with molotov cocktails that you light just when you are ready to drive off a bridge onto an on coming oil tanker to blow yourself up to. So...ya wanna be numb?

60mph....70mph....80mph...90mph....100mph..105...106...107.....*Kink*......I don't wanna think...*Airtime*....I don't wanna feel nothin....*Flip*....I wanna be........*BOOOM!*

hard choice .
i think numb and then one day during tour release integral!

If that's true, then that's without a shadow of a doubt the best choice - after Fugitive, of course.

Really?. I love SODOM.

We don't have the same source, then.

O!!! This is exactly great news!

I think they will chose "Numb" if they are releasing a BBC Concert live cd. I think "Numb" it would be a great way to point up the presence of the orchestra and to promote both "Fundamental" and this live cd. In other words, a sort of link between the two releases...
