This album has some very good songs like Of All The Girls… and What’s Next. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of The Legendary Pink Dots energies, virtually a rebirth. This is one of the best Cd’s The Legendary Pink Dots has dropped to date. Traumstadt 1 constantly brilliant.
I have all of The Legendary Pink Dots’s tracks and What’s Next is probably the most his introspective effort. I’ve found myself listening to Playschool back to back and back many times. What sets Sex apart is The Legendary Pink Dots’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Closet Kings pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Spiritus can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what The Legendary Pink Dots is all about. The first time I listened to Hauptbahnhof I was struck by its gorgeous sound. Still going through Traumstadt 1 and coming to appreciate The Wrong Impedence more and more with every listen. Passing Thoughts is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Traumstadt 1 have ended. Atomic Roses 1 - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Ideal Home is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. The Legendary Pink Dots is hitting on all cylinders in Atomic Roses 2. I like the agression and power of God Speed. Pay To Be Alone is a striking and quite long song. The Legendary Pink Dots must have run out of lyrics on the next track Spontaneous Human Combustion. The Blessing one of the best in my collection. A unique and uplifting song. I came to like Powder Crowd. Strychnene Chaser is another favourite of mine. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Believe! to me is the best you can get from The Legendary Pink Dots. I love the melodic melody of The Plague and to this day it makes me feel good. Premonition 3 one is one of the better boring ones. Close Your Eyes, You Can Be A Space Captain catches attention immediately, I Dream Of Jennie (3:22) - awsome.
