I think Strat caught it in his post; for me there's kind of a drabness to the song. It's just kind of there and then it's gone, without making much of an impact one way or the other. It's definitely not bad, but in some ways it feels like a 2-and-a-half star song that was aiming to be a 2-and-a-half star song. It's hard to get too excited about it; I think I get more excited by audacious failures than something like that.

My jokes make more sense once you understand that the intended audience is me.

Weren’t the first 100 pages of this thread trag controlling the narrative with endless posts criticizing the song’s production?
