How Come "Relentless" is so good?!?

#1 Post by Henrik Powers »

Wow... I mean... let's admit it relentless is truly a gem, I'ts quite a masterpiece, it's probably the most consistent piece of work (with Battleship) that the Boys have ever done?!?

Same here. I've actually been listening to it quite a lot recently on the car stereo.

Relentless is a masterpiece because PSB hadn't lost it at the time and could still produce genius material. Comparing it to Pokemon is a disgraceful insult though.
Does cameos only.

Relentless is quality although Potemkin is a worthy companion....

It's a great dance record. I wish it was considered by EMI as an integral part of their discography as Very or as Please, so that they would keep Relentless in catalogue.

I'd love to have a Further Listen edition of it.

My favourite song is ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER, but I also love FOREVER IN LOVE and MY HEAD IS SPINNING.

:lol: At weekends, whenever I get drunk, the song comes to my head!

It should be reissued, possibly with some other dance tracks they were working on at that time that might not have been released yet (I know they were considering releasing it with Euroboy and Some Speculation as bonus tracks but Disco 2 was released instead).

fantastic album, probably the album,imo, with the highest success ratio of all the tracks
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

A bird whispered (?) to me that Chris wrote the music as a tribute to his late partner, what was his name again...? Isn't there some saying that behind all great art there's great suffering.
