    So good.  Clearly a homage to CC and Soundgarden in lyrics and sound. 

    Eddie’s singing style even sounds like Chris.

    My early favourite, however I love them all. So to have this at the top is saying something. After the theatre listen I had a big smile on my face, when Stevie finished I turned to my sister and said ‘how good was that one!?’ 
    Early favorite here as well. The guy beside me called it best song since Vitalogy. I found myself agreeing. Looking forward to more listens. 
    Best since Yield maybe.

    its very “in hiding” to start - the end is proper balls out rock.

    God forsaken town! 

    What an amazing song. Can't wait to hear it live. That halfway mark and on is some of the best work they have done in such a long time.

    Scoff at reviews and articles saying songs are akin to Ten era or echo Breath and State of Love and Trust because then people just expect to hear those songs. But what I will say is I get it…the riff at opening, crunch in the guitar tone reminds me of PJ sounds. This is a great modern rock / PJ song and there are only so many of those these days !

    I don't hear Ten or Vs at all. Maybe it reminds me most of Yield.
    Yeah that's what I mean. There was too much emphasis in the promo that this was a Ten/early era song which shaded some of the initial response (for some, maybe even including me). What it is, is a great rock song that sounds like something PJ would make. I do hear In Hiding for sure and if squint really hard, I can hear the rhythm that reflects a slower State of Love and Trust, but its exactly that a song in the PJ canon and the good version. Really exciting.

    If you told me this song was originally written and recorded for the Singles soundtrack, I would have absolutely bought it. Sounds plucked directly out of that era, musically.

    Got to this one this morning on the way to work and CRIED. As in almost choking wept and it just grabbed me. It's been a pretty emotional week and so I think maybe that was part of it, but it just really resonated. Loving this new album!
    I've cried during a few songs on this one. It's that good to me.

    Jeff said he thinks this song wades into my bloody valentine/shoegaze territory. No wonder I love it so much!

    I’ve smiled at parts, gotten tears at parts, and shook my head at parts. Love it!

    its very “in hiding” to start - the end is proper balls out rock.

    I described it to my husband as "In Hiding combined with the Alive outro." -- which is pretty freaking awesome, in my book.

    I’m not getting the hype for this song. The riff sounds like The Cure “Wish’ era. The guitar solo and drums are amazing but the song itself is meh!
