Strings too high in the mix and they remind me of a daytime TV show theme tune. I'm not disappointed by it too much, though thought it could have been a little heavier. I want Aerosmith, dammit!

Like it. Not bad for an album opener and makes me wonder what the rest of the album will be like?
If you don't like it on first listen, then don't force yourself! It'll happen...

it's excellent - some of the guitar sounds a "bit" like Metallica's cover of Whisky In The Jar towards the end. looking forward to getting the single & album

It's great....the song is catchy and you can hear the lyrics in the opening music, so to speak. I wish it was a bit longer and james was higher in the mix, but it's like a single should be. It is more like 80s stuff/queen/james but that's a good thing.
