When the riff kicked in I immediately thought of Under the Sky by The Answer, I like it though.
Didn't really give the last album much of a listen but I think I'll give this new 'un a go off the back off this song.

I quite like it, but hate his voice soooo much, but I guess that's what makes them a bit different to the "norm". They're not the first band to " borrow" a riff, and it is a very good one!

They have been jamming that riff for (at least) 12 years. Do like the song though.

Aye! I think someone spotted it from another of their songs... anyway, regardless, I liked it! Got the toe tapping! :)

Yeah that's it.

The more I hear it the more I like it. Great sound.

This has been in their riff library since Showbiz... 16 years!

I was hoping for less refined(?)/more grungy playing as per Origin of Symmetry etc as apparently one of the songs is a 'sequel' to Citizen Erased.
But hey, there's a whole album yet to come, I'm pretty excited for the return to rock :)

I think it's pretty awful.

That riff was a great jam riff, but it's now ruined forever. Whenever I listen to a live track with that jam in, all I'm going to hear is that song. And every time I hear the song, I'm going to wish it was the jam. The swearing seems unnecessary - they always used to manage without it, and now this song is packed full. The drill sergeant bits are cheesy and cheap sounding, the lyrics are rubbish, and the song is too repetitive for it's length. Also, I wish they would stop with the political stuff. Give me some space-opera love songs.
