I bought 2.0 recently, and it was much better than i'd been led to believe. I could n't believe they wrote 'Soul' and 'It's Quiet'. Great songs.

Monaco is tops. Having only recently been exposed to it. Revenge is ok too. It is however not at all what I expected. I expected a far less poppy sound from Mr Hook's bands and a far more rockier(is that a word) sound. I remember reading a interview once that he didn't like True Faith, because it wasn't New Order to him. I interpereted that as meaning that it was too pop for him.

Yes, Hooky has been quoted in various interviews saying the song sounds too much like the Pet Shop Boys, mainly down to Stephen Hague's influence on the track.
