It's as underachieving as "Electricity", as bland and repetitive as that and in similar vein. As usual I'll hold off on the b-sides as putting on a new CD is a moment to savour, let's hope they are the usual high quality.

Love the new single - Is my style of music :-)

Thou the Solomun remixes is fantastic addition.

I obviously added the dub's from Beatport

B sides are great

So a total 9/10 from me!

Away from Radio it sounds much better. I can see this one going down very well live. Deciding what they can add to the Dreamworld setlist probably bubbled this one up to the top of the single choices. This will fit in very nicely.

Off to get the dubs...

Only heard it once but it comes over as pretty amateur and by-the-numbers. I'll listen to SoT and Jesus tonight

Nice track. Interesting lyrics with something to say, a different type of topic for them.

You have to remember they're choosing a diversity of tracks to put out as singles, so people see their diversity and see it in their singles collections. If everything was It's A Sin style there'd be less point continuing, right?

Initial thoughts… Enjoying the retro production on ‘Dancing Star’. It’s below their best in terms of song quality, in my view, but it could well grow on me. B sides are very average. The Superchumbo remix of ‘Party at the Blitz’ is not bad. So far ‘Through you’ has been my favourite of this new batch of songs.

OK so far, for me. A few more listens, but I'm a fan of Thursday so this is 100% my jam.

Observations on Neil's voice anyone? I am sensing a deeper more gravelly vocal these days. Age plays a part for sure. I've been a fan of his lower range vocal anyway so no issues here but unusual to hear so many tracks in a row that cater to it.
