It really does sound U2-esque. :nod:

I'll be the first (I think?) to say I'm in love with it. :love:

... though, that's not much of a surprise coming from me, eh? :lol:

I like the lyrics, I like the song

But this song is missing a guitar solo, that crap that Steve does with his cry wah, just doesn't cut it. If it had a nice solo it'd make the song even better.

And I do agree the song is a little to popish, I thought they were going back to a rockier sound.... oh well I still like it.

I wish they kept the song faster like when they played it live...it is going to be hard to play the new version live with the xylophone, and i think i hear a second guitar and some piano....not going to be easy with 4 guys on stage....i hope there are some edgier songs on the new album, but needless to say, i still love this song!

Meh. It was OK. Like everyone else said, not super strong. I thought it was good until the xylophone. That sort of ruined it. And it has a bad "aftertaste" so to speak.

I've listened to it about 10 times so far, each time I enjoy it a little more. The one part I can stand is the "We're just losers on this open road" For some reason that part just doesn't fit in this song, nor does it sound good. Otherwise I like the song alot and get pumped for the new album more and more everytime I listen to this song. If this is the single thats upcoming, It won't have anywhere near the popularity of SWOT. This just isn't a radio hit. Which I could take or leave. Its a good song though. Like Raine has been preaching, "this will sound like nothing they've done before", which i completely agree with. Sounds nothing like older OLP. I just hope the rest of the songs aren't as basic as this one.

and i don't think thats a xelophone in the background. It sounds like a guitar tuned down real far with a heavy heavy echo on it.

i'm scared to download it, my last bit of hope invested in olp is in this album......and reading this and hearing that they're still wasting jeremy and steve is sickening.

i like the old version with the extended bridge with the "wanted more more more more more more" that went on forever, i loved that. and its also not as heavy as it used to be, which i thought was key to the song, but the lyrics are better than they used to be.
