pop will eat itself

Hi all,

As some of you should have a copy of this awaiting you from today I though it would be good to have a dedicated thread to your thoughts and feelings.

Has some one ruined your favourite PWEI song and you are now going to hunt them down and make them listen to 'International Bright Young Thing' on repeat for 2 days as revenge?

Has someone impressed you so much you want to marry them?

Let us know here readers!

WOW! Not listened to it all yet, but...WOW!
Seriously, only PWEI fans could have done such a fantastic job. You guys & gals are amazing.
And pb3000, I think tDR will be hunting you down... I just hope you don't end up out of pocket. If you do, let us know as I for one would be happy to chip in a bit more to help you balance the books.
I'll be back to give you a more considered opinion in a few days.

Just finished first full listen through and can only agree with that Mr Crabb chap - you clever, clever bastards! The PWEInation aren't crap!

Firstly - Payback, the job on the packaging, artwork & mastering is stunning, PWEI2 should get you on board for the next/ remix album.

Whilst I was impressed by most of what I heard on the sonic noise byte I was expecting the overall quality to be varied, but how wrong I was. Every tune on here more than holds its own in the context of the record, there's something interesting about every track, and you can feel the enthusiasm & love for the Poppies oozing through the speakers.

3 tunes really stood out for me on the first listen:
Penny Licks - Inside You: really different take on this one, didn't think anyone could make one of BF's cheekier moments into something so charming & adorable.
Project 13 - Intergalactic Dub Mission: Intergalactic Love Mission is most skipped tune on BF, this takes the tune to a whole new level. Better than the original.
H.O.B.B.S - Bulletproof: I know when Bronxzoo posted the first demo of this on the Soundclouds I was impressed & thought this is what Bulletproof would sound like with a PWEI2 overhall. So much energy in this version, changing it from a pogo-along anthem to a full on rave-up.

...but all the other contributions are strong too.

If I had to be hyper-critical nit-picking pedant, Seek & Destroy could have done with a full live vocal, the backing's a stonking breakbeat monster, I just felt a full vocal would have been the cherry on top.

Bloody well done you lot!

Cheers Rolex,

Chris from Carts Before Horses mastered the whole CD audio not myself...and he did a great job.

Seek & Destroy...well I can't sing. I did try to mess with my vocals and ended up sounding like a gay robot so I just used a Speak & Spell Emulator and cut it down to the hook.

Receive mine today, many thanks Paul.

I got to say it is a thing of beauty, i dont want to spoil it and take it out of its plastic sleeve!

Ta very much Rolex!!!!

This is great. The packaging is perfect. Very good work Paul.

My first thoughts after my first listen is that I wasn't expecting such a variety of sounds.

My favourite tracks are Inside You by The Penny Licks, Artificial Human's Menofearthereaper and Jason and Paul's Wise Up Sucker.

I got mine.
