“One riff spun out for five minutes in true Mogwai style, but it’s developed in such a precise, well-judged manner, it doesn’t need anything more. Those fuzzed-up guitar tones are also quite, quite wonderful.”

What's your mark out of 10 for this?
it's an ok song off a decent(ish) Mogwai album
no higher than 6.5/10 I'm afraid.
A resounding 10 from me
I don't just like it, I like it a lot.
5
10/10
not for the album though
this song 9/10
off of one of the contenders for album of the year.
I would point towards the previous track 'Mexican Grand Prix' as the true 10/10 moment on the album though.
This,
MGP, and San Pedro all absolutely blinding, as good as anthing they have done. The rest of the album pretty average.
Boy, do I love San Pedro
I can listen to that alone on repeat and never get tired of it.
Best Mogwai song, probably. Let's say 9/10.
Really like the new album too. It has less boring parts than most of the others.
Epic, irresistible stuff.
LOVE
the new album - possibly their best.
track is a solid 8/10
9/10 - really love this track.
was the opening track on our Q1 best of podcast http://drownedinsound.com/news/4142358-dis-radio-returns-q1-2011-report-by-sean-adams-amp-mike-diver
we'll be doing the q2 show soon (hopefully this week)
Bump for non-weekenders
I'll always love Mogwai, but this leaves me a bit cold - feels like they're going over old territory. I imagine it'd be amazing live though.
6/10
This pretty much sums up how I feel about it
When I heard the mp3 of it they released ahead of the album I had no high hopes for the album at all. Pretty forgettable, sounded like they were on autopilot. One of the weaker tracks on the album.
the new album is their best in years
but, that sadly, is saying very little. still, one of the best things they've ever been involved in was that Zidane album/film so that might colour my opinions.
love it
the track didn't grab me on first listen but it had enough in it that begged at least one more play. From then the whole track unravels into a glorious piece.
When the guitars come crashing back in something moves in my heart. I wish I knew enough about music to know how that shift happens, but damn, if that isn't one of my favourite moments in music this year..
it's a 9 or a 10
and it's phenomenal live too.
8/10
whole album 7.5/10.
8/10
totally solid, and those guitars do sound incredible.
Preferred The Sun Smells Too Loud though
9
10 live
good song
not the best on the album though. As with others I think that credit goes to Mexican Grand Prix. Really looking forward to hearing the new stuff live next Friday in Bexhill (of all places).
its good
mexican grand prix is the only mogwai song i can think of that i definitely dislike though. Werewolf and San Pedro are the picks off Hardcore... for me
Awesome tune!
Im gunna give it 10/10 purely for the guitar tones ha
