I've only just listened to the studio version of Futurology. It's so much better than how they've played it live so far- much faster. And the reverb on Nicky's voice is just perfect. It's my favourite song off the album so far.

Hrm. I feel that Nicky's vocals on the studio recording of 'Futurology' aren't as good as they are live. He sounds like he's holding back. Still, I like it, just seems to be lacking a bit of fire.

'Black Square' is interesting. Some odd, occasionally jarring lyrical echoes/references going on there, will certainly stand up to some repeat listens and dissection.

I haven't heard it yet, but considering Nicky's live vocals were not live but half playbacked something must have gone wrong there


"Nicky's vocal" - this is something which we shouldn't ever had a reason to pronouce or write.
