I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.

I went with good. The hook is undeniable, as is the world-weary lyrics/voice and the screamy guitar, but in the end there's also no denying its slickness.

As clean/sterile hits go, it's pretty high standard. But it's a clean/sterile hit.

There’s plenty of life and movement in it, I don’t hear it as sterile at all.

Honestly darlings , taste is not wot it used to be. Rose tinted and mediocre. What happens when we long for comfy slippers instead of running over hot coals.

It is , music for an advert . How anyone can not see Baker St as anything other than beige blancmange on a plate , needs to go to the offers page in the Daily Mail and order some elastic wasted slacks (available in three colours ) .
For people who miss Hepworths.
