Think it is a really good track and unlike the pretty much the rest of the album, it still lives on my MP3 player, so gets a listen every now and then.

Like it but doesn't sound like SQ. Pure Rick, done 80's style
Could have fitted well onto either solo album

Interesting that Pip said that this was originally going to be the opening track of the album.
As for the 80s sound…..it was written in the 80s I believe , with Simon Climie before Rick revisited it.
I’m glad it did t open the album as I believe BOTE is far stronger

I really like this. It's has real power. That sort of middle section of the album - tracks 8, 9 & 10 - are the real highlights for me on an album I often find is a bit hit and miss. Depends on my mood though. This does have that slight mid-80's feel to it. Like the B-sides from that time ( Halloween, Heartburn etc.). But somehow better. It'll be 15 years old next year. Mental that 10/10

Love it, one of the best on the album. 'Alright' equally as powerful.
Love the 80s feel, the guitar lick on the chorus, the solo...a winner.

It'll be 15 years old next year. Mental that That's Matchstickmen to Back To Back. Scarcely believable.

It was horribly dated '80s rubbish when it came out and the ensuing years have done nothing to improve it.
"I'm tired now" sings Rick, and by God he sounds it.

Actually I really like this track. cool riff and guitar work. it suffers enormously from Pip's over saturated production and that I feel, is its greatest drawback and why some won't like it - very 80's Rick. Strip that away and you have a hard rocking tune that would fit well onto NTL back in the day. What really stands out here is Frame's guitar solo. I think its fantastic. and I love the licks at the end.

Great guitar interplay in the main riffs, lovely chord progression, fantastic solo and licks during the choruses from Francis!

I’m glad it did t open the album as I believe BOTE is far stronger Yes, there even was a version circulating some weeks before the release which has the spoken intro (”No, if you listen…”)before this song instead. And yes, I like this song quite a lot. Strange enough it hasn’t occurred to me that it have a very “eighties-production-sound”.
