Replace The Future... with removing Hazelton and stick in Ostopolitik instead of Don't Be Evil and instant win.

Can't wait for more b-sides from the next single.

It's really mediocre isn't it? I should probably give it a few more rounds before I judge it, but based on 3 times, nothing really stands out except for the whole "epic" sound. That woul've been fine if just the songs were better, but they really aren't...

Well, I hope it does well and that SKON can be a hit in the future. They will make something much better than this, and meanwhile I'll listen to something else (Lifeblood? )

A strong 8 for me. Really like it.

Are you another one of those stuck in a 'Lady Gaga or GTFO' phase? If they had tried to 'communicate with the masses' by sounding like everything else currently in the charts, well, I'd have been moaning a lot more than I have been.

We'd have to disagree yet again, when it comes to GT. Their influences (Public Enemy and Guns 'n' Roses) were HUGE at the time, the Manics were upset at the NME for being too 'indie' while those bands sold millions. And I'm not surprised at all at how THB sounded, when they'd intended it to be the least mainstream.

No, I wondered just what 'masses' they think they're selling it to, I can't see it.

1/10

dont like any of the songs too bland and boring only played it twice and that will be it

[Littlesue]

I give it 8 after a few listenings. I can hear Robbie Williams singing some of the somes more than James though.

You'll like it on the fourth listen!

But that's the ultimate praise!

[The Gutless Wonder]

Cannot hear Robbie. At all. Thankfully.

[Rasgard]

6 or 7/10 for me.

[Frozendiva]

I don't think I've listened to Robbie much past 'I've been expecting you'. So, no Robbie for me.

Don't be so optimistic, it's really bad.

[Siouxsie Sway]

7,5 out of 10, really but I went with 8 instead. better upgrade than bump down.

[Takk]

Growing on me a little, think I'd bump it up to a 6/7 out of 10...still some of the style is a bit grating though. I like the lyrics and listening to headphones is really helping. Hope it continues to grow .
