The official Anti-Integral thread

#1 Post by Marcus »

This song is camp and corny.

If it becomes a single as it is, it emphasises the boys' image they could only do dance hymns like Go West. I can tell you in Germany this kind of music is being pidgeonholed together with primitive apres ski/mallorca ballermann party music. A nightmare.

If they really want to surprise us, they should deviate from the expected style of a single version and make something eerie/dark/slow out of it. I'd be the first to order.

Neither is it the best nor is it the worst song ever written. But Delusions... is far better.
I don't know where I was when I first heard it, probably at home. And I have not heard it again since then.

You are mistaken, it's another pro-Integral thread, actually. Next, please.
"I think it’s an amazingly good album, I’ve got to be honest with you. It’s one of the albums I feel most proud of. But for people who don’t really know us, and have a sort of an idea about us, ‘Electric’ is more what the Pet Shop Boys are meant to be."

So many threads started with the positive on Integral, suggesting the majority is in favour of a release. I just wanted to oppose.

If Integral will be included on Disco 4 (IF such an album will be released), the version will probably be different. It makes no sense to include a Fundamental album track on Disco 4 in unaltered shape. So I guess Integral would be remixed for single release.

(It's looks as anti-ID manifest in itself...) Oh no, don't say that or I'm afraid you'll be des-integrated.
I'm look forward what's happens when (if) official denial would wind up the splash of our excitement.

It's hidden bonus and will appears to you only if you stare to Eldritch post in the end of this topic about three minutes.

Perhaps "Richard X" could do the single mix and b-side it with his single mix of Fugitive (which we know is done but not seen the light of day yet). I suppose that would be "Richard X" overload, but it would be quite nice none the less.

I support that for 100%. Actually it should be a double A-side, then. I suggested this before. The songs match very well, I think. "Fear" is the key word that connects them.

Integral is a great song, but for goodness sake: IT WILL NEVER BE A SINGLE!!!
The time has passed. The song is not new anymore.

I wish people STOP making threads about this bloody song (except this one which I totally agree with).

Integral is the cheapest mainstrean Ibiza disco music. I hope they will never release it. To promote Disco 4 it`s time for the Fugitive.

sadly, and this i guess covers the are they going to have a big hit again question too....fundamental sold very well, everyone has heard it, and as we all know its a fact that single sales are way down to what they were. The market the boys should be going for is the download and album charts. I am sure there is an artical saying that numb was one of the biggest downloads of the year from last year (but didnt count due to the fact the rules for counting downloads had not came in yet) means that there still is a fan base. But too much time has passed since the release of the cd for Integeral to have a big impact. Getting a number one isnt as much of a thrill anymore....and yes, maybe people are getting old, but to say its mostly crap at the top of the charts is wrong too, there are some really good tracks, but you have to wait for a while till the latest pub singer in waiting from x-factor has his/her day in the sun, or some other crap.....
Also, they will have to battle with the record company who cooled off when they wanted to release TSAGS which would have been an amazing single..
And while I am on the subject, they should have released as singles.....

For your own good.
Shameless
made the truck driver and his mate a joint a side with hit and miss rather than before
im sure others will tell me what they think should have been released.....

thats my opinion, and thats all it is.....

If it does get a single release, it needs to be remixed.
