I don't hate the new song, it's ok. More hooks than an anglers fishing bag etc, but I don't love it either.

As most of you have already stated, it needs a decent guitar solo in there, and more importantly IMO, another verse before the final chorus.

Without it there's just not a lot of song there.

verse,chorus,verse,chorus,rythm break,chorus, aaaand repeat. Song over.

Still don't hate it though. It's currently stuck firmly in me bloody head.
