    So, have we all heard it yet? Tom Dunne played it during the week and Phantom 105.2 have it as their 'HMV First-play' all this week.

    Only got a chance to listen to it last night and I'm already in love with it! Back to basics, nice a simple and instantly enjoyable!

    Does it sound like every other White Stripes song they have released to date?

    Exactly and the bag pipes are never good. Never.

    Heard this for the first time last night and it was instantly forgettable and quite boring and generic. Like at least try something different...

    ;) wow i love love LOVE IT. is that jack playing those pipes?

    thank god its business as usual because i really didn't like the satan album. this is more like the sound they had at the beginning . just listened to their stuff sequentially and satan definitely feels disjointed or something.. but again this is fantastic. its kinda scary and funny . listen to hand springs (2000) then listen to this, thump thump thump screech...f**king love it.:D :D cannot wait for this album.

    anyone any idea if meg is working onanything on her own i thought she was doing stuff for a movie soudtrack but heard no more bout it

    I don't think it's generic or forgettable.. love the way it's so fractured and whacko (what the **** is going on with those eastern-sounding organ breaks?!) though I can't see it exactly becoming a terrace chant a la Seven Nation Army. Hope the rest of the album is as colourful.

    Not going to comment on the music and sorry for the detour, but your sig made me laugh...

    Thanks! Borrowed it from an actual post on the politics board a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately it looks like a lot of people agreed with that poster.

    Typical of this country. But then again they might make it into government this time, albeit with the greatest shower of crooks and liars this century.

    I love this song. Its not an all time classic by any means, will probably be forgotten in a few months by non WS fans, but I love it. Really like the last verse about America :D

    Without doubt one of the worst songs i've heard in a long time. Sounds like a load of half-assed ideas for songs cobbled together into one. And wtf is with the stylophone??? Completely crap.
