This song is such a disappointing regression for the band. Last Young Renegade was their most interesting evolution to date while still remaining catchy and distinctive, but this sounds like a discarded B-side from Don't Panic.
@Jason Tate I'm interested in your opinion? I've expressed my thoughts on it being a regression after LYR.
It’s fine. I see where people are coming from about it being a regression, but it’s still a catchy, fun song. I like it well enough.
After LYR we get...this? Like they can change there sound and even regress soundwise and it’s all personal decisions but like lyrically...this was the best they could do?
Seems like an easy song to just put out for the summer. I don't see it being an indicator of the new album but I could be very wrong.
Really hope this is a one-off. LYR was such a good direction for them - this definitely feels like a giant step backward to me.
I haven't listened to most of LYR still, but a bummer that so many think this one is a regression. Gonna give it a listen after work
I’m just wondering where all these fans of LYR were when the album came out... I don’t remember seeing a ton of praise for it and it didn’t do very well commercially
Haha you’re all good. Honestly, I was a bit lukewarm on it at first myself, and I mostly blame that on having overplayed the half the record that had already been released, including five of the first six songs. I could be wrong, but I just don’t remember the album being received especially well, except for a handful of users here who I know are big fans.
People not thinking FH and LYR are far more interesting and musically accomplished than early releases like PUOSU and SWIR just blows my mind.
Haha yea there definitely was a mixed reaction to it, and yea that's understandable since half the album was out before it was released.
Releasing that many songs was dumb. I could have just not listened I guess, but I don’t have that kind of willpower
Yeah, it was like two days before the album came out, so I should have, but nope... I would have gone Dirty Laundry, title track, Nice2KnoU, and that’s it.
