If I were in a generous mood, I'd probably put it one level above the other tracks I mentioned too, though that would still only bump it up to 'least worst, best of a bad bunch, top of the nadir section' of my own personal preferences.
I'd also forgotten to throw some lols and shade at the video with its 'ASDA Smart Price watch advert' vibes.
Edit: Related note but I actually wish they'd used the lyric 'monochrome desire' as an album title or something, that is a good little phrase.
I'd love to see how fans of some classic rock artists differ in their opinions of songs, compared to us handful of Manics fans on here! (I've dipped my toes into some Rush and Fleetwood Mac forums and they were a viper pit!)
