JDB = ace! His voice is marvellous.
The drumming is excellent.

VERY UPLIFTING, PASSIONATE, ENERGETIC SONG!

It reminds me a lot the sounds and tunes on JDB's solo album...

Average, mediocre, humdrum, middle of the road, run of the mill...

At least I didn't hate it.

Please don't say that. I haven't heard it yet. Middle of the Road is my biggest fear. I'd rather hear people saying they hate it than Middle of the Road.
Oh well, roll on 4:30pm.

Same here. Instead I pitied it and them. I just wish I could fly their career to Switzerland and finally put an end to this undignified suffering.

I think it's pretty good, though not quite in love with it yet. Better than anything on SATT and could be successful - James always comes up with good melodies.

I don't give a toss on what other people may think of this song: It's a great album opener!

I'm not totally sold on it yet, but when the song started, I couldn't help but smile. This is good. I wish James was a little higher, he almost drowns in the music in the chorus, but all-in-all, I'm really happy about this.

For the ever time as a Manics-fan.. a new first-single feels like a very big let down. I'm disappointed. Where's the energy and the power, where's the excellent lyrics, where's the passion?

It will hopefully grow on me.. but so far, I think it's so so very tame. It sounds lazy to me. The lyrics are poor too.... and that Nicky Wire line at the end... OMG...

ARRRGH...it sounds like the sort of song i should hate...but damn it's just too catchy not to like it. Very much reminds me of Human Touch-era Springsteen, could've even been on Lifeblood. I'm a fan.
