Hate hate hate the guitars. They worked somehow in some THINFS songs but not here. And I don't feel the bridge at all which is weird, they always nail that part. The "Shanks sound" is so stale, damn it, it was too much to hope for a BB rawer sound again. Sigh.

Now some positive thoughts... Catchy as hell, heard the snippet first and not even the whole thing and the damn chorus got stuck in my head. The lyrics are average at best but there's passion and energy which makes them mean something. Or I'm getting old and easy to please.

I know I don't expect too much, but I expected much much worse. I always like to be proven wrong when it comes to the band (I don't think I'm going to like "Walls" though) and I was very sceptical about a single so soon and also dreading to hear what it was going to be BJ by-the-numbers again after the more lyrically meaningful THINFS.

So basically it's Ok, will grow on me for sure. Still on the average-post-2007-single side but miles better than WWBTF. Now I'm excited to hear it live with some real guitars and that horrible noise going on behind Jon's voice. Dreadful production as usual
