I find it unlistenable. It's awful

Re: What do you think of this these days?
Well, this is the handwritten note I had jotted down as the list of predicted answers when I posted this:
1. Awful, terrible etc
2. God you Brits liked some shit
3. Fucking hell, Saffron, wasn't she gorgeous etc
So I'm glad to see that I was at least one third correct

I was going to say that I was thankful for having never heard it until it got to the chorus, which I recognised, so now all I can say is "It's shit!"

Re: What do you think of this these days?
I think it is OK. Sort of shouty and girl powery, and it doesn't have even a shred of a tune. But I can hear that it is the sort of thing that would get you pumped up on a night out if you were 12 years old.
You don't like me...do you?

Dreadful. And that other hit they had, even worse. Shouty and annoying. No redeeming qualities. Next............

I don't think I heard it back then. Should I rectify?

Always preferred the Theme from Z Cars.

It's a bit meh; not something i'd actively ever search out. Made me want to listen to Transvision Vamp for some reason.

Re: What do you think of this these days?
I own the single and last played it in the middle of a 90s binge. It ain't great but it's an enjoyable couple of minutes with a pretty good hook. And while the video was annoying the song still sounds good.

It's perfectly cynical cash in pop, where you can see all of the joins. No one will get anything out of my damning it with faint praise.
Even the name of the act seems like an ad man's version of Elastica.

Re: What do you think of this these days?
It's alright, as far as pop songs with a hint of rock go. It's a bit like Atari Teenage Riot deloused, shaved, and put in suits for a car advert. Which is better than most mainstream/indie, I guess.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Heard it this first time a couple of years ago. I can understand the derision, but I like it, even if it gets repetitious.
