Exactly. Not many bands can say they've pulled off so many directions in their career. With the pop thing some people just aren't that into pop so of course they are gonna think 'meh' or whatever. Swings and roundabouts innit?

I love the complaint that the solo sounds like the chorus, when the Donkeys solo is pretty much the same as the verse, and everyone loves that, so...

(That said, "Greatest Denier" is a much better song than this.)
Someone else has said it's like Smashing Pumpkins 'Today' too....

Nicky's part is a bit 'meh' for me to be honest, but that's my sole gripe!
