Less "literary" and dour than the prior cut. But it has multiples of the energy with '80s dance rhythms thumping. I'll take it, relatively primitive though it may be.

A good point of view, if maybe slightly flawed. Repetitious? Yes. Basic lack of harmonies and melody? If you take it that way, fine. Supergroup or whatever, well, if you want to play it that way, fine (but none of the musicians here would make my Supergroup top five, ten, or more).
However if you listen at how the song has been put together, produced, even manufactured if you want, it is a work of genius. It is that song you want when you're driving too fast for too long, it's the song you want to lift your spirits when what your spirits want is the equivalent of a Golden Arches meal, it's the quick buzz, the song that brings the party off the floor, the song that does what it says on the tin.
It may not be, in the long run, a great song. But it doesn't pretend anything else but sound great, and entertain. Which it does. End of story.If you want great musicianship, songwriting, whatever, go elsewhere. It's not here.
Enjoy it for what it is, probably the song in which the details finally got lost, and you just got an earful of joyous, possibly senseless, noise, delivered to your ears by a band going full out and a producer who knew how to reproduce it.
It is silly. It is daft. It is, I'm afraid to say, great.
Welcome to rock. Daft, silly and all the rest. And down to personal opinion.
Holy fucking shit are you wrong. This is brilliant. I do not agree with your back-handed praise one bit.  |

Songs are sequenced live sometimes, pre-sequenced for playback sometimes, always juggled and masterfully woven together. Listened for a while now, and can't always tell which is which — unless the precise tracklist is repeated. Check back with me in about 4 years and let me know what you think. Got no clue when B&R take a day off. |

I really hope this hasn't been mentioned and I've missed it but there's a great cover of "She sells sanctuary" by The Smoke Fairies. It's well worth a listen

Another song with an interesting juxtaposition of a really high average rating and wildly various comments. Generally, that's a good sign.
