Posted September 9, 200816 yr m8K28GXcpP8 Got its first play on Zane Lowe last night, have to say not at all what I was expecting Like I said in the other thread, I respect that theyve tried to go for a completely different sound but it just doesnt work imo. I'm disappointed but hopefully this will be one of their weaker new tracks What's everyone else make of it?
September 9, 200816 yr :mellow: I'm not keen at all, it never gets going, it's the same all the way through :unsure: Permanently stuck in first gear :lol: Compare this to Golden Touch and In The Morning, which were the official lead singles of Album 1 and 2 :unsure:
September 9, 200816 yr It's not as instant as the other two singles, but I still love it and I think it'll sound fantastic in HQ. :o
September 9, 200816 yr It's not as instant as the other two singles, but I still love it and I think it'll sound fantastic in HQ. :o You seem to love loads of slowish songs :lol: Im not keen on many slow songs at all tbh :unsure:
September 9, 200816 yr Author I generally like slower songs, but I agree with Damon, it never gets going. At one point I thought there was going to be a bit of build up and it was going to kick off but no :/ And yeah, it's very weak compared to In The Morning and Rock n Roll Lies (which was the lead single for the first album, not Golden Touch :P ). Like I say though, hopefully its the worst of a good bunch and theres better to come from 'Slipway Fires'
September 9, 200816 yr Apparently there's more "guitar based" tracks on the album. I've still only heard the single once, but I agree that it never gets going. To me it just alienates their fans, and is maybe trying to appeal to a new audience, at the same time as hoping fans get into the track. I'm really not that keen at the moment and it just seems to be as if they've trying to release a song similar to America as the lead single, hoping that it does well.
September 19, 200816 yr I hope it doesn't flop cause I love the band, but seriously... wtf?!?!? It sounds promising at the very first 20 seconds, but it never builds up (to my disappointment). Very weak lead single, imo... but it's one of those tracks I can end up loving to death. It just disappoints me at the moment, I can't put my finger on it. Definitely not a patch on the brilliant "Golden Touch", "Somewhere Else" or "America".

Definitely not a patch on the brilliant "Golden Touch", "Somewhere Else" or "America". I don't think it'll flop. The reaction has been mixed so far, but it seems to be a track you either love, hate or think WTF. I'm the latter. Still, i've only heard it twice thus far.
September 22, 200816 yr Author I still can't seem to get it to grow on me. In all honesty roo I wouldn't be surprised to see it flop, it just doesnt sound like lead single material
September 23, 200816 yr I don't think it'll flop. The reaction has been mixed so far, but it seems to be a track you either love, hate or think WTF. I'm the latter. Still, i've only heard it twice thus far. After listening to it a lot, it has finally grown on me, I really like it now but I can understand people who hate it or think wtf! It's far from being the usual Razorlight mind-blowing track and fans will have to get used to it to finally love it, some may never give the track the chance to grow on them, though.
September 26, 200816 yr ive only just heard it and im not sure yet its not as catchy as their last few singles but i have a feeling its the type of song that grows with each listen
October 3, 200816 yr What a waste of Matches -_- I wonder if they did it just for the after smell :kink:
October 3, 200816 yr I'm really liking this actually :o I like the fact they have the balls to do something different from the rest of the bands out there right now! The lyrics are quite good for their standard too! As a fan I'm impressed :D
