Solid track IMO; really like the first half of it.

Hate and despise this 'argument'. Time of writing of song bears NO relevance on how a song is received. There are less liked songs from the early period based purely on the fact that Dave's writing was absolutely insane. There have been many songs this side of 'the fall' (Everyday) that everyone (ok most people) loves and is clamouring for (YNK, Crazy Easy, GGT, Sugar Will, Shotgun etc.). The fact is that Dave's writing has got increasingly worse, and THAT's why people don't like the new songs as much as the old ones.
I gave it a 5, based on the fact that the lyrics are cheesy and the almost equally cheesy section where Carter does the 'heartbeat' beat. But the music is promising, and it signals a potential return to Dave's experimentation with tonality - BW was so unexperimental!
I know I have high standards - that's because of the amazing music they made themselves in the Big 3.
