First listen, sounds like a decent Arctic Monkeys song, but one that could have easily slotted into there last two albums. Would be nice if they were to try something a bit different, but havn't heard the album yet so won't make too many judgements before I loose interest

Be interested to know what songs you think it already sounds like?

It's a bit bland.

I think it's a slow start but it definitely improves as the song goes on. On first few listens I like it a lot and it'll grow on me more no doubt.

Bored me, will give the album a try but this was a bad start :/. Don't think I'll get along with the AM's tbh, albeit I don't mind the first album.

thought it was very good! really like the lyrics too. stellar track, looking forward to the new album.

None in particular that I can think of, only listened to the new song once so I don't want to be too damning of it, especially as I don't think it's that bad a song. But from first impressions, it just sounds like another Arctic Monkeys song and doesn't really show any progression as a band. I'm willing to be proved wrong though, I quite like the first two albums

you probably won't have much choice.  it will be all over tv no doubt!

Can't say it paticularly excited me. It might be a grower, but doesn't seem like a paticularly good choice of first single.

I thought the internet phenomenum started by the Arctic Monkeys was supposed to have killed off singles from albums by now?

I really really like it!
its a lot better than most popular music around at this moment in time
