It's not so bad. It's not so good. It never really changes too much throughout the song. Meh.
Score = 0
It's definitely a grower.
I thought it was shit on first listen.
But now I like it.
How articulate.
Score = 0
It's definitely not "Empire." It's not so bad though.
Score = 0
I got to the 1:24 mark before turning it off. I guess it won't be growing on me after all.
Score = 0
I didn't like the song at first, but it is definitely growing on me

saw them do a set in 2004 at dundee's westport bar. i cant say that this doesn't seem like history repeating itself. have they ever deserved sucess?
Score = 0
i dig kas
Score = 0
I'm not impressed. I didn't expect much after their first album, but this is just kind of blah.
Score = 0
that video is wonderful though.
Score = 0
All I can think of when I listen is "Doctor Whoooooo HEY! Doctor Who."
That said, their first album was awesome.
Score = 0
I don't like this song at all, and the video is pretty ridiculous. they seem like a bunch of self-righteous assholes to me. and it really is a shame, because i think that they had the potential to be the next great british export (i liked the first album). but lately, it seems like all they are doing is talking smack about other bands (and americans in general!) and making mediocre boring tunes like this one, and its making them really unlikeable.
