You're right we just hate anything that reminds us of Spain.

1.Discoteca
2.Up Against It
3.The Survivors
4.A Red Letter Day
5.It Always comes As A Surprise
Why are fans SO against this album?
I would happily add To Step Aside which is gorgeous and in the same vein like Young Offender.
I am also surprised why Very is always regarded as the best; it was lacking that urban bitterness that made PSB so unique in its own (except for Can you forgive her and Young Offender) padded with beeps, boops and a false enthuasism...it has also aged worse than Actually, Please or Introspective...
