They should release Integral of course! (Though as a fourth single it is too late perpaps - hmmm.. but on the other hand.. thinking of Heart it might not be). When? I agree: when the tour hits Europe.

BTW, my second choice: The Sodom and Gomorrah Show.

Greetz,
Kalle.

How do you know it wont make an impact on the charts, just how do you know?

Just *listen* to that horrible radio edit! A very nice, good album track now sounds desperate and unlogical. No intro at all, just one verse...

- If the catchy Minimal only hits #18, then Numb is very likely to end outside the UK Top 20.

In retrospect, Integral would have been a good single choice. But it's not going to happen anymore.

Three of the four best single choices are not released as singles. How PSB.
Minimal, The Sodom and Gomorrah Show, Integral and of course Fugitive. The latter would have given them a Top 5 hit, I think.

IMO the radio edit for Minimal is badly done, it destroys the original version by cutting out some essential parts. It even sounds cheap. Now I haven’t heard the radio edit for Numb, but hearing all of your comments, I fear the worst…

Minimal is great as a part of Fundamental, but not as a single.

Numb is a very good 'stand alone' song.

Ive had the promo CD for a while now and I actually quite like the Radio Edit, nor do I have any issues with the formats/track listings.

Dont forget though that those who see the video will be hearing the Album version.

It needs a large amount of Radio play from the likes of Capital and other shit stations and some decent TV exposure (doubt this will happen as they are on tour in the USA at the time!!)

Has the second verse REALLY been edited out. Why bother releasing it, then. They're mad.

Yes.

Original version is:
[intro]-[1st verse]-[chorus]-[2nd verse]-[chorus]-[bridge]-[chorus]-[fade out]

New version is:
no intro.. [1st verse]-[chorus]-[bridge]-[chorus]-[bridge]-[fade out shortened]

I consider it the worst mutilation ever of a PSB song. I'm seriously considering NOT to buy cd1. The first time in my 20 year PSB fan history.

I just heard the demo version of Sodom. It's better than the album version. It's more electronic, so I like it better.

Nah. the Trentmoller (sp?) one is better.

As for the butchered version of Numb, can't wait to hear it seeing people hate it so much

The single edit of "Numb" is much better than the album version. If it weren't for the appalling chart position of "Minimal", I'm sure that "Numb" would receive significant airplay because of this edit.
