not too keen to be honest, shame really, was really looking forward to this. although, saw them at the academy in manchester a few weeks ago and this tune worked, may have to the amount of warm red stripe i'd necked by that point tho!! quality band, top live, dodgy single

laziest review ever! and i would disagree that it would sit comfortably on their debut album, they've moved on an grown up both emotionally and musically since then
