I like the solo that sounds like it belongs on a Sega arcade game from the turn of the century. I'm always a sucker for that cheesy shit.
The rest recycles rather than builds on the 80s and therefore sounds tired and the production is overcooked to an unpleasant PFYAM degree. In the era of Ed Sheeran, these kitchen sink shots at mass communication are so flawed.
Even by Nicky's usual standards, for him to call this 'the new Motorcycle Emptiness' is concerning. But it's not awful. I'm not offended by how crap it is like I have been with past efforts and it's almost as good as Liam Gallagher's single but not Noel's.
It depends where they put it on the album. If it's the opening track, all hope is lost. If they stick it where Australia was on EMG, it might work and I might opt not to skip it.
