Some swearing in there, Bill. Although, I doubt many of you can tell from the Sheffieldcestershire accent.

From my point of view this is the best of their songs that I've heard because I think its OK. I keep listening to their stuff and failing to find much in it that appeals to me. My loss, but I don't suppose I'll lose any sleep over it.
Clearly plenty people find more appeal in their work than I do or the average rating would be lower.

One of the most original, driving, rocking jams to come along in years...and when it shifts into that surprising outburst, it does it in a cracking way!  I LOVE IT TO PIECES, STILL!

Coming from Sheffield, I was mildly embarrassed when these guys first hit the scene, thought they were kind of a Terrorvision rip-off. But, I've been pleasantly surprised with how they've matured... Solid 7.

I could almost love this song just for the shift from the previous song.

Here's a theory:

All bands sound the same as themselves (if you see what I mean). That's their "sound."
If you like it, you listen a lot and gradually uncover the subtleties.
If you don't, it will always sound the same.

Is anyone buying that?

 

Sounds good to me.

I think I've posted this in other songs from this album, but the cover always reminds me of the cover for the Ziggy Stardust album.

That's my random observation for the day. {#Angel}

You make a good point, the song(s) that precede a song may influence our opinion of the song in question. This is in addition to our current mood, state of distraction, etc.
