This poll tells me that I am totally out of sync with the average PSB fan. My favourite is easily Bullet For Narcissus and I would have both Dancing Star and New London Boy in my top 4. None of those three tracks are getting many votes here. I also think that "Feel" is the most "meh" track on the ...

I think "why am I dancing" is one song part...or middle eight short of greatness....it needed one more interesting thing happening in it...and maybe a more inventive ending. I also dont know why as the song is getting going they inexplicably drop out the bass on the second chorus.

I agree with ...

I love Schlager. It may be a bit out of place but it's classic. Really hope it's a single.

I love it too. It's strangely moving; I think it's an affectionate tribute to that element of European culture.

But would you also love it if it was the Austrian Eurovision entry this year? Kidding ...

It's another vote for Bullet... from me.

Classic PSB, and perfectly wedged between the slower Secret of Happiness and Love is the Law tracks.

New London Boy and Love is the Law ran it close though !

Very close to my taste. I currently have Bullet at #1, Love Is The Law at #3 and New London Boy ...

I think one of the best things about Nonetheless is how pleasant the listening experience is with no tracks that are grating or sound out of place. As such there is no real "worst track", but something's got to be the least appealing and for me that track is The Schlager Hit Parade, which thanks to ...

My pick - at least at the moment - is Bullet For Narcissus, which I find to be a wonderful track with a rather unique place in the PSB discography. I think the chorus is super catchy without being derivative and the production is spot on. Love how the strings come in to dominate towards the end.

just vote.

Just vote.

CAHEB is best tucked into an obscure b-side position or it could be an interlude in a shortened version. I think I'll make a 1 minute edit of it and put on my private version of Nonetheless where I add, so far, No Sense of Time and Party In The Blitz .

Why would you do a great album dirty like ...

1. Bullet For Narcissus
This has been my favourite since the first listen. I especially enjoy it when the strings come in fully in the final part of the song. The fact that the song slams Trump only helps, but it would have been my favourite regardless of the lyrics.

2. Dancing Star
This has ...

Anti-Hero
Bad Blood
Shake It Off
Blank Space

Would probably be her hits that cut through.

Bad Blood? Nah. That is not even one of her top 30 most streamed songs. Her most streamed song alltime on spotify is Cruel Summer, which is absolutely massive and should be on that list.

BTW, Drake has ...

Ooohh, I missed that interview. Nice pick from Neil. Good album.

I consider myself a casual fan of Taylor Swift. I know all of her albums, but I don't obsess over her and I am not a "swiftie". I think the very mild criticism that Neil levels at Taylor is totally on point. She is very very very good at what she does, but she does tend to write the same song over ...

Just no. One would have to be seriously deluded to think that this could be about being the bodyguard of Joe Biden.

That right behind him he's despised"
