First time I heard it through bad speakers, it was borderline unlistenable. And I'm a patient fan. It's better than I thought but still crazy. Big stompy riffs being hijacked by a malfunctioning bagpipe robot.

I love that they had the balls to choose such an oddball song to release as a single but it feels more like a collection of whacky breaks and riffage than a strong tune. Very Led Zeppelin in places.. Nice to hear something a little different from them anyway. The video's quite cool also..

Oh, havent seen the video. Must check it out. I read a track by track break down of the album in an NME i think. Seems very odd. Part of me thinks Jack's taking the piss a little. The bagpipe thing crops up more than once apparantly!

It grew on me a tiny bit, but the second half of the song is sort of an unlistenable mess.

OK, I'll do my best but I'm not promising anything.

Saw them at Primavera last week. I don't have the album yet but the new songs sounded good!
