Sounds like a counter-culture theme song.

 

Getting away with it all messed up. ..... 

 

This must be one helluva live party band.

That's a lesson. What sounds pretentious was really out of context funny. Gotta hate the sound bite monsters. Not fair to the speakers...
 
Yeah, that's real "chaos"

I'm sorry.

I just have a personal prejudice against songs that repeat one lyric over and over,
backed up by relentless, repetitive drum bashing and one-note guitar solos.

EDIT: Unless it's Neil Young...
 
Agreed. Except for the Neil Young part.

After the first 10-20 seconds I thought:" oooh, who's that?"
Then I checked and wondered it was "JAMES".
I knew the name of the band
of course, but not their music!

I liked this first 10-20 seconds - have to admit that!
(but have to insist it was just that - 20 sec. max).

Then I read the critics, while the song was continuing!
And yes, soon had to agree that it was just a silly little song!

I give it a 3, though!

And that means,
"No, James, I did not let you get away with it!"
 
You really have to hear more of their stuff. Laid and Ball of Frustration are two of my favorite songs EVER.

That my friend is impossible, it either sounds British or it doesn't.  I for one love British bands,
especially Elbow now!

Aye, what's your point. Are US bands too US sounding, I honestly don't understand this comment. Maybe there isn't one, just mouth speaks before brain engages!

It takes a ton of willpower not to do it though, even if you don't believe in it, when everyone around you starts doing it because one jerk did.

But then I'm in that weird school where concerts in a theatre (i.e. you have a ticketed seat) are sit-down and enjoy non-participatory deals, whereas concerts in small bar and club venues are all about being crazy fans.
