Ok
So if this the worst Dark Matter has to offer...I'm in
I don't mind this song as well and I do dig that fuzz guitar

It’s about what I expected. Could be a fun song and will hit home for me with a 6 week old girl.

The “you don’t need a man” line is trite. But, that’s Ed for ya.

I like the bass and the smidge of edge this seems to have. Maybe there will be an upside surprise once we hear the full thing.

There’s nothing to bury his voice in.
Very little sonic substance.

maybe but also im sure there will be more instrumentation than in LB. The bass already sounds way more interesting.

I'll wait to give a proper listen, but just through my phone, Ed's vocals take me out of it again.

Why are the drums pounding and ultra loud in your face for what seems like a lovely country waltz

idk, I think "you're sufficient by yourself" is a good message even if it's delivered with a cliché
