Jesus wept. Do these guys ever tire of inflicting their pompous orchestrated power rock on poor innocent ears? I know they've been going 20+ years but there's absolutely no excuse for this barrage of sub-radio 2 friendly, stadium appeasing gash. They once proved, at their peak, you could be bombastic, employ comical chest-beating rhetoric & be of ludicrous mass appeal yet still have a bit of soul, power & integrity. This utterly meaningless piece of tosh is just a little bit horrid - the obligatory "guitar solo" lacks absolutely any spirit or pezazz (I loved 'Motorcycle Emptiness' as much as the next man!!) and the lyrics are vacuous and empty - much like the song. The execrable B-sides on the CD make me think of a really poor pub covers band. Well, at least they're sticking to their roots....Totally without merit, possibly worse than the last Placebo comeback. Gah!
The brilliant new single taken from the eagerly awaited new album "Postcards From A Young Man". Ltd 7" vinyl format plus maxi Cd single with exclusive trks.
