Slow and mature album
Slow and mature album
Apart from the "Alan Turing" project, theorically the new PSB album should be just the opposite from the previous one ("Electric"). So we should expect frome PSB a new slow album. I'm saying theorically.
The problem here is I think PSB are much attractive for general public and fans when they create uptempo albums (according to the sales it looks like that, "Behaviour" and "Elysium" were flops taking into account when each album was released).
So do you think PSB should try to create a more balanced album or even a bit uptempo than a slow album?

UPTEMPO, with no doubt. Think the songs are already written as well...

Let them create what they want, there is no problem if they should want to create a slower album. They are artists that have to do what they feel is right, not what you, "the fans" and "the general public" think they should do.

Re: Slow and mature album
Overall I like the uptempo and slower stuff equally so I'm not bothered either way. They haven't failed me so far, I trust them to make an album they believe in.
I'm certainly not worried about what the 'general public' think and 99% of fans will buy whatever they produce unless they completely lose the plot and come up with something akin to the music which now clogs up the charts without even attempting to add some PSB gloss to it (highly unlikely).
Anyway the current album has only been out for a month so lets enjoy that before we start dissecting the next one!

Re: Slow and mature album
I have never cared much for PSB's downtempo stuff aside for a couple of exceptions, so my vote goes for uptempo and always will regardless of the theme of the previous release.

Re: Slow and mature album
I voted for downtempo (ie Elysium). Simply because the trilogy is a certainty now. And best to go out with a high on the 3rd. So the 2nd can be really reflective. And after these 3 who knows if they'll even make any more. They are not on the good side of 50 anymore.
I realise reflective is so not the PSB style, but personally for a change I really like it. In saying that I'm like the 3rd album could be 100% worked on together but 50% a lot more NT influences and the 2nd 50% al lot more CL influenced. And it won't be a relentless, as that was basically CL making whatever he wanted, knowing the fans would buy anything. THis 3rd album would sell as the PSB know how to make a commercially viable album.

Re: Slow and mature album
I did read the full sentence, what PSB albums had achived better position in the English charts up until that point? A bit hard to call a number 2 a flop regardless of the period when it was released dont you think?nickname wrote:I knew someone wasn't going to read the full sentence.dynamobjornen wrote:"Behaviour" a flop?

And in many ways chart positions is beside the point. The point is that they need to take the liberty and release what they want to. They are artists, not up tempo hit producing machines.

Re: Slow and mature album
balanced.....while electric is such an enjoyable CD I enjoy their ballads just a bit too much to want to go thru another whole CD without one of their patented mid tempo or slow orchestral songs.
Re: Slow and mature album
"Behaviour" sold less units than the 3 or 2 previous PSB albums and the next one. It was the flop of the "Imperial Phrase".dynamobjornen wrote:nickname wrote:I did read the full sentence, what PSB albums had achived better position in the English charts up until that point?

Re: Slow and mature album
I like both their uptempo and downtempo stuff equally so either way. I'd prefer midtempo though. As long as its different from Electric. And it would be nice to have something "light" after the death themed Elysium and the moody club themed Electric.
Re: Slow and mature album
If the slowies are as good as on Fundamental, I would love a totally "slow and mature album". But all in all, it's all about what they feel like doing next. If they try to force themselves to make a certain kind of album, no matter if it's downtempo or uptempo, it would just feel contrived.
