Good and bad things about the future

#1 Post by Nickname »

Well, I think most of fan club members have recieved their literallies: what do you like more and less about the things which are said about the new album?

For me

I don't like: similar sound to Pink Floyd, guitars on it

I like: more orchestral arregment, triumphalist sound

So and so: drums (it depens on how it sounds)

All the way since "I get exited", plenty of PSB songs have had some guitars on it. Nor harm done.

Wouldn't read to much into the Mr. Horn's Pink Floyd comments.

Triumphalist sound, though, is not automatically a good thing. It can trigger the camp-o-meter a bit to much if executed wrong

I perfect album is when everything is used orchestral, : drums, guitars, electronic.


What i expect from the new album is a cross between Behaviour and Nightlife and some great electronic sounding more like from Very Relentless. with Mr Horn giving it the epic fell of Left to my own devices and It's a sin.

But it all comes down to how good these songs are lyric wise and to me most important how catchy they are..

I like short 3 minute snappy pop songs. you get in, say what you want to say, and get out.

I am not big on epics or pink floyd accept for the songs "hey you" and "comfortably numb".

but one can never go by the PSB's descriptions of their songs as they are always way off on what they say it is like.

after all they decribed "somebody else's business as "motown sounding"

Good things- A new ambitious Psb Album, produced by Trevor Horn.

Bad Things- Plenty of time between now and April for more pointless and rather pathetic threads about the new Psb Album.

if you think this is bad wait till they actually release the thing. you will look back with longing and get sentimental about these days where its only maybe a handful of threads about the new CD.

It wouldn't be so bad if the threads were different but this one is almost the same as the others.

I don't know if they are started by different people, (which i would understand as alot of people don't check before posting, me included) but if they are not then we all should know better.

I think they sampled a Tamla Motown song... it wasnt Motown sounding... (i guess they removed the sample..)
