This new ABC cd is great. Every track, except the 1st noisy track, is a gem. Glad to see they have returned stronger after the disappointing Skyscraping

I listened to that single and surely you must be joking. Fry's vocals have never been flatter and the production sounds very cheap.

I got it about a week ago and I think it's a solid pop record.

I was very excited to finally get my own copy of this CD through 7Digital. I am in the USA and it was available through Amazon for 30 bucks. Anyways… after the big wait I was expecting something quite satisfying, and it is. I agree with many of the comments here that there are good pop songs, and I do like the single very much. But I have to agree with Barmy and got that same cheap production quality. Not quite as rich as some other albums. I did however enjoy Skyscraping quite alot. I think it is more fun. This is, in some ways, a more "mature" and interspective recording by MF. But I am so glad it is here and that I have the chance to listen to something new by ABC. Don't be hatin'

Heard the track on his/their MySpace page and while it did not bowl me over, I did like it. I'll try to pick this up ASAP
