i thought flux was quite good
kele is really into dance music and he does dj spots and stuff so its not really a huge leap out of nowhere
i can see fans hating it though
they just want banquet pt2

Flux is their best song easily, definitely came out of nowhere after the dodgy 2nd album. I think people are put off by how the new direction but just take it for what it is: a damn effective dance song.

Bit undecided on Mercury, think it would sound good in a club though. I have to give them some credit for experimenting with their sound instead of releasing the same old gash like SOME of the bands over here do.

Wow i just listened to their new single. It is absolutely terrible. They were an above average band in my eyes before this but now.......

Hopefully they can put it behind them and start making proper music again
