Electric: Singles 3 & 4

Okay, so we've had Axis (sort of) and current single Vocal, but which two of the remaining seven Electric tracks do you think has the best singles potential in either it's current or a radio edit form?

Fluorescent is a deceptively weak track. The lyrics have been stretched awkwardly around the tune in a can't-be-arsed fashion. Definitely one of the weakest tracks lyrically they've ever released.

LIBAC and The Last To Die

Those 2 have the most single potential on the album. Much more then the (in my opinion) weak Vocal.

"Thursday" is the obvious radio friendly track to me. "Bourgeois Construct" sounds like everything that the casual listener dislikes about PSB. Namely Neil's rather thin vocals and the O.T.T camp feel that the track resonates (to these ears , anyway). As a curveball, I would go with Bolshy as a 4th single. it'll never happen of course.

"Thursday" is definitely a single; it features simple lyrics set to a good tune, many choruses, a guest rap and vocal, and even some Chris talks! Maybe it sounds too 80's produced though.

"Love is a bourgeois construct" should benefit from including a strong chorus, but it is catchy enough anyway and it sounds classic PSB. Of course this track needs a single/radio edit and there already is one.

Love Is A Bourgeois Construct &Thursday: the first is a masterpiece, the second is too pop to can't be a single.

The same I think. @ Danger are you from Systesm In Blue and Sophie Ellis Bextor forums? Do I know you? :P

These results make no sense because on lastfm Bolshy is the third most played song after Axis and Vocal, beating Love is a bourgeois construct with a small margin.

How is that relavent? This poll is about what people think has the best single potential, not what they are listening to most!

If you mean a real hit, then it's "Thursday". It's chances are, in my opinion, extremely slim but miracles do happen. " Love is a bourgeois construct " would be my second choice because I'd love to get a 10 min remix of it by the boys, at least one by Stuart Price and one by Richard X all done in the 80s style ( Remaining faithful to the original but pumping it up to the max ).
" Thursday " also has some remix potential. But, FFS, don't wreck them like the horrible Vocal mixes!! Last but not least , two or three B-Sides on each CD single. Yeah I'm a greedy bastard but I'm willing to pay.
