I really like it, though it's still not got 'hit' written all over it
horns are sounding awesome, but agree that the chorus is a bit messy

Ah fuck it, I'm sure it will grow on me. After all, it could be a lot worse:

I have never seen that video before and got as far as the backwards Rs and had to turn it off. Cringeworthy.

They've pretty much said that it's the only upbeat song on the album.

I've just listened to both songs back to back in the car, the way they will be on the album (if the track list remains unchanged) and at once they don't gel AND sound as if they compliment each other. They actually do work together in a strange way. I'm really intrigued by this little window into the album and want more! Doesn't sound like anything the Manics have done before, honestly.

...that alongside the Cardigans lift also mentioned makes me think this may be quite a little patchwork quilt of paraphrased lyrical grabs... time to start getting that "MSP influences" chart out..!

It's alright - not terrible, not amazing. It's probably the best single they will release since Your Love Alone (although thats probably not saying much!).

These nice, quaint, radio friendly singles are fine and all but where are the manics that once could release singles like faster or revol? Isn't it time for a little edge?

I'm struggling with the trumpets to be honest, but will probably get over it. It actually would have fit on PFAYM.

Is it though? Didn't Wire describe next year's album as "European" sounding? That terminology denotes techno to me, not thrashing guitars and a generally alt vibe. Hey, maybe he meant European as in Swedish death metal. Now that would be friggin awesome! Ha! |
