It's great to see lots of good reviews for Fundamental, but they are all "4 out of 5" type reviews . . . . . . I just get the feeling that some reviewers almost refuse to believe how great this album is because, well it's pop/dance music isn't it, so it can't be as great as the latest from U2 / Coldplay, because they make "rock" music, which is "serious" music . . . . when, in fact, Fundamental urinates all over their albums from a great height.

Rant over.
Love comes quickly, but is a catastrophe and a bourgeois construct etc.

I hate all the gay references in it, like the NME one :roll:

Well to be fair reviewers must write for their readership. An awful lot of people want an album to casually have on in the background and Fundamental is fairly hostile in that regard.
