This is a really nice surprise. Ed sounds great and the production seems spot on (granted, I'm listening to it on my phone's external speakers).

"Log in for for an exclusive early download"

Wonder what that means.

Song has a clash vibe for sure.

Finally a fairly interesting guitar riff. Definitely enjoy the different sounds as well. Great vocal layering too.

Song is decent, production and overall vibe are better. Ed sounds great, the recording has more depth to it than anything on LB or BS. I like that the guitars feel looser, and the little cash register sounds are fun.

I just hope they don't blast those drum mics on every song on their next record, like a Black Keys album or something. Hopefully it's a stylistic choice that will be limited to this song.

Not an amazing composition, but overall a big step in the right direction after LB.
I like that it sounds as if stone and mike enjoy playing with each other again.
