Ewww. Hate that album. It was the double whammy of Technique and 'Lec that got me into the band, the triple dross of 'Republic', 02+U' and 'RTP' that I would Never Be The Same Again after.

And is that Gillian singing backing vox for The Game?
Probably not. In the run-up to the album she Tweeted that she wouldn't be singing, but things may have changed since then. Times Change too.

Oh, I presumed because they're push back in the background they might be Gillian.
Like she did on Restless.
My initial thoughts after a few plays
Restless: 6 Singularity: 9 Plastic: 7 Tutti Frutti: 8 People on the High Line: 7 Stray Dog: 7 Academic: 6 Nothing But a Fool: 8 Unlearn This Hatred: 8 The Game: 9 Superheated: 10
Overall 8/10
Restless: 9 Singularity: 9 Plastic: 8 Tutti Frutti: 6 People on the High Line: 6 Stray Dog: 5 Academic: This one goes up to number 11 Nothing But a Fool: This one goes up to number 11 Unlearn This Hatred: 10 The Game: 9 Superheated: 9
Overall - cannot give a score because I adore some tracks exponentially more than I currently dislike a few others.
Regarding Tutti Frutti, it might be another Restless. I didn't 'see' that track until many plays after the uninspiring first listen.
Nothing but a Fool and Academic are cemented in my heart as immovable classics.
Unlearn hatred is the worst song since lowlife's last 3 songs. Even Raise the pressure and the first electronic ,with suspect moments , 15 years later seem alright. Also -The lady singer adds her little squawks while the other lady backups are fine. So, why not bring Harriet wheeler out of retirement? ,or ask Sarah cracknell,or Shirley Manson, and as for male singers, ask Iggy to sing one more or Jeff beck or eno, or David Gilmour, anybody but Bruno or Bono slick on superheated. Or Ian mculloch could have made it better. These are Small quibbles, but for unlearn this drivel. Still, 4 lousy songs in a career is not so bad. So,I burn 10 new songs add world in motion ,twice( to take the stench out of unlearn) add brutal, hellbent , and out of control for a nicely burned disc.

Restless 7 Singularity 10 Plastic 9 Tutti Frutti 10 People on the clothes line 9 stray dog 7 academic 7 nothing but a fool 8 unlearn this hatred 9 The game 8 superheated 6
singularity and tutti frutti are as good as anything they have done, overall this is i think the most consitant album, well produced without lacking inovation. really my dream record
