Thinking Trump and modern day conservatism is terrible doesn't require a whole lot of self awareness or intellectual capacity. It barely requires a pulse.

having said that, on first glance the lyrics suffered from the 'too obvious' problem that afflicts much of his political writing.

I don't know what Ed is saying, but I don't hate this musically. It's a lot better than most of the last two albums.

Let's see

Strat: fanboyism
Chud: noncommital until I spoke on it, at which point he jumped on my bandwagon
Theplatypus: haughty dismissiveness
Trag: *talks about microphones*
Durdencommatyler: enthusiastic
Spenno: unimpressed
Stip: downplaying how much he likes it as a lead-up to his upcoming 4000-word essay
Lecherouslittleleper: *trolls*
The Argonaut: *instigates*
RM as a whole: *bitches about mp3 quality*

Yeah checks out

it's too bad, since the writing was pretty strong on Mind Your Manners and Infallible. This is a bit too Getaway

It is good to see that some things in life never change.

Get away is exactly what I was thinking.

I like Getaway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me too...me too.

What happened to this band?

This is junk.

I feel embarrassed for them. Just stop.

I'm going to close my eyes, pray to Jack Irons a few times and then pretend this never happened.

Hi folks. Just listened to the new single so thought I'd share my initial feelings.

Opening verse, Ed sounds like Chris Cornell. I like that. I also like the fact that even though the song isn't that long, it moves along at a reasonable pace instead of million miles an hour which I don't like personally. Song has groove and Ed sounds cool; his vocal screams attitude. I like the contrast between the verses and the chorus. I would not like this song to be the musical template for a new album (I prefer fully fleshed out, 4-5 minutes songs) but it sounds fresh and I like most things about it after a few listens.

For those who are hating on it, your ignorance is sinful.

I just realised I used the word like too much. I guess I must really like the new song.

Does it say Xmas single?

this camp

I'm working to remove the link as quickly as I can.

Ed's voice is surprisingly all right here. I had all but written him off.

Damn, this is horrible.

I've defended the last few albums quite a lot and feel like they were too underappreciated. I routinely find myself enjoying Backspacer and Lightning Bolt enough to appreciate them for what they are but THIS?! THIS IS PATHETIC.
