Very cool, even chilly, electronic and diamond-hard. (The diamond imagery recurs with the lasers, in ways that transform into also ..forgive me, vaginal ones, in an abstract way.) I like when PSB go from heartfelt and soul-searching back to pure style and sound, and then back again. This one's diamond-hard imagery and sound, and I like it very much. Won't rate it with a number though.

We also get a bit of classic Vocoder! That is agonizingly hard to understand. Mysterious! Which is how I like the Boys.

I'd rate it behind almost every lead / first-heard track, like Winner, Invisible, Psychological, Love Etc, etc.

But, as a thumping exciter, it's brilliant.

I like it, but its not on a level of greatestness like Love Etc was (that for me was there best single since Can You Forgive Her?). I'd also say I like Leaving more.

But it's good and I am very excited for the album and the electro direction. Bring it on, it's gonna be fun :)

I don't think it is a real single to be honest.

Yeah I'm not sure on that (is it a single or not) either. But guess we don't know yet if a Single we be an entity in this new X2 era of PSB. Obviously I'm hoping Singles, with b-sides and remixes on a CD, will be part of this era. If they do have singles, will Axis be categorised as one or not? Time will tell.

The video is both intense and hilarious and really looks awesome on a big screen. The person that told them they wanted more strobes and banging must have really made an impact on them, because the video seems to be made for that person.

An 8 from me. I agree with GhostITH that it's good for what it is, but I'm still missing the Neil vocals. But I'm really looking forward to the album and the more traditional pop songs but with a looser structure that Neil said the majority of the album would be like. Bolshy and Vocal sound Axis-like dance tracks to me, but the rest might be more pop.

I love it. It P*****s al over Elycium, which never should have been released. It's the first time I'm excited over a PSB release since Fundamental.

I do like Neil's singing but this style I find both more interesting and more fun to listen to, especially after the very lyric-rich Elysium. Electric to Elysium is kind of like what Relentless is to Very, except Electric is getting a whole lot more attention, Relentless has always been this difficult-to-get gem.
