I hope the big orchestra that was used on the song "numb" actually does sound big in the song as going by DazzerUKUK's description,the orchestra stuff mainly seems to be at the beggining and mostly little flourish type stuff ,but then actually settles into a piano ballad with synth backing near the end instead of some huge orchestra track like we were expecting.

I'm good.

Yes, the 'Psychological' that is doing the rounds is the instrumental version of the album track.

All I'll say is that 'Psychological' is not typical of the album!
And you say you never believed in luck

Sorry, but you said that Fundamental is not the best album of PSB…
Let’s hope it won’t be in the net until that official release.
Trevor Horn is a master and I trust him more then PSB.

I see you know what I mean. I didn't know how to express that.

Talking about "Numb", this sounds to me like they had made a mistake. But we'll see....

Really BAD news. The instrumental version hasn't been really welcomed by their fans. Even including the Neil's voice it's not going to improve much better.
But the worst think is your mark:

PSYCHOLOGICAL - Electro stomper-ish...
No. More Kraftwerk style repetitive beats and tones (7/10)

Three songs of the album are even worse:

CASANOVA IN HELL - mid-tempo? orchestral
With plenty of keyboards and nudity and erection problems. (6/10)

TWENTIETH CENTURY - mid-tempo
The solution is worse than the problem.........(6/10)

INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN - ballad with electro guitar sounds in a sort of, but not quite, 'Birthday Boy' sort of way. (6/10)


The average of the whole album is worse than the mark of shychological, I think.
If a PSB fan thinks that, bad news!

Great news. Really.

I sincerely hope that they don't read this board because they'd probably pack it in straightaway if they realised quite how stupid some of their fans are.

DON'T FORM AN OPINION UNTIL YOU'VE HEARD IT YOURSELF.

Of course, I'm not going to express my opinion about the comments of the new psb album because you don't like it.

Precisely - how can anyone have an opinion on something they have not heard? I'd be most interested to hear your thoughts........

Sorry but it has to be said. Nickname, are you f*** real? How the f*** can you criticise a song that YOU HAVEN'T HEARD? Get a f*** hold on your reality for christ sake.

Criticize songs that you haven't heard? Oh, I hope Geowayne's next poll is about "the most stupid fan" or "forum member". The result must be obvious.
The CELL by Stephen King instantly hit number 1 in New York Times Bookseller Lists selling well over 200 thousand copies in three weeks. This affirms my opinion: People really need an occassional good horror read...
