Wow, what a chorus. I usually find this band to be quite annoying, but I have to say, I am intrigued.

nah I think the exact opposite.... I like them, but not this new one.

not as delicously catchy as "this town", "oh goddammit", and so on; on the other hand, the new song sounds really strong. after the long delay and the departure of their guitarist, not to mention a not-so-great performance here in san diego, i had written them off, but this song is really promising. thanks for the heads up!

After two listens, this song kicks ass.

"Touch You Touch You" is still their best.

Was this done before or after the guitarist left?

Guv is dead on, Touch You, Touch You is easily their best track.

VERY much looking forward to this record.

Sounds exactly like [INSERT ANY NU-RETRO '80S BAND HERE].

I liked their last album and this track sounds like a pretty promising indication of where the new album is going.
