...according to our Brian on 11 July 2008.

Actually quite like the new Primal Scream single too. It starts off like QOTSA (for 1 second) then becomes like The Killers crossed with Pixies. Whether this is good or terrible I dunno but Zane Lowe's probably gonna bab his keks when he hears this. 'Can't Go back' is designed to warm up festival crowds. It means nothing but is catchy, modern sounding & raucous & has one of those woo-wee-woo keyboards in it and a messy compressed guitar solo that I like. Mani pins it all down with a rather familiar pummeling bass riff (no.1 in the top ten indie bass riff chart for the last 15 years....) and the whole thing is quite passable. Not a Black Crow or a Groaning Stone in sight. The musical badgers then go and have a country hoedown in a barn for the B-side with too much bluegrass wine & way too much harmonica but it's lively and i'd be most happy watching them do it live whilst of my chump on doggy disco biscuits & catnip.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

OVERVIEW: Primal Scream return on July 14th with 'Can't Go Back', the exhilarating first single to be taken from their eagerly anticipated new album 'Beautiful Future'. Produced by Paul Epworth (Bloc Party), 'Can't Go Back' is a heady dose of brash future-rock, propelled along at light speed by an unstoppable bassline and Bobby Gillespie's trademark snarl. It's a real breath of fresh air that serves as the perfect introduction to the new LP: their tenth studio album and their first for B-Unique. A return to classic songwriting that sacrifices none of the band's considerable swagger, 'Beautiful Future' features intriguing collaborations with the likes of Lovefoxx (CSS), Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age) and British folk icon Linda Thompson.
