not a million miles but at least thousands of miles away. Breakerfall is AMAZING compared to this, but I see where you are drawing the comparison. But the riff on Superblood falls fucking flat. It has no balls whatsoever.

Just compared the song to some S/T songs like WWS and MITS, and I feel like they have very little in common.

I agree, I can’t see any common thread between S/T (which had some very thoughtfully composed songs) and this.

When they write songs like this they're just another band.

Another random band.

Superblood Wolfmoon

Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon
Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon

I can hear you, singing in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes

Once you were somewhere, and now you're everywhere
I'm feeling selfish and I want what's right

I ask for forgiveness, I'm begging myself
feeling angry, now get off the stage

Right now I feel, a lack of innocence searching for reveal
hypnotonic resonance I feel
not much of anything, and the cause is life or death

A life of hopelessness, fucks all your focusedness
I've been hoping that a hope does last
I don't know anything, I question everything
This life I love is going way too fast

Both my eyes are swollen
my face is broken
And I'm hopin that I hurt your
hopin that I hurt you’re
hopin that I hurt you first

She was a stunner, & I am stunned
And the first thought or second thought was 'could be the one'
I was a prisoner, of keys & the cuffs
Yeah I was feeling fortunate to be locked up

But the world got to spinnin, always felt like it was ending
and love not withstanding we are each of us fucked

I'm in danger, feelin in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once you were somewhere, and now you're everywhere
I'm feeling selfish and I want what's right

I ask for forgiveness, I'm begging myself
feelin angry now get off the stage

Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon
Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon
Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon

I can hear you, singing in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once you were somewhere, and now you're everywhere
I'm feeling selfish and I want what's right

Focus all your focuses, to a life of hopeless’s
I've been hoping and I hope that lasts
I don't know anything, I question everything

This life I love is going way too fast

I never felt Breakerfall had "balls", it was always just fine in its place on the album

On a headphone listen after a wine and other, i have a few more random observations. I appreciate how ed is mixed in, and how his mid/low range is present. I also like how they didn't try too hard to make it epic like lightning bolt the song, when they really could have. It seems like they didn't overthink it, or try too hard.

The band doesn't really ever seem to come together though. (like the end of breakerfall which people are comparing it too for some reason). The guitars are grittier than recent albums, but it still sound a bit PJ lite.
I'm still rating it a 2/5. but it could easily be a 3. Its a song that is designed for me to like it, but it fails in a few aspects. My opinions of this song are a bit of a contradiction, but so is the song.

I just woke up (EU) 2 hours ago and have listened to it a couple of times.
At first it didn't do much for me, but the last PJ single I've instantly liked was 'I am Mine' so...

I has some garage Strokes vibes, which they have tried before on BS. But this sounds better.
Clearly not as good as DotC but still an entertaining song, we will never get the old PJ back.
But as this stage of their career all I wanted was something different from them.
Superblood sure is different. It's not using complicated chords or beats. But it is experimenting with structure.
The verse only comes twice?

Why do they keep writing songs like that?

It's a waste of their talents.
