Very curious what you think! Reviews seem to be very mixed, which is what you get when you mess with a classic I guess.

Same, but also I need to read the lyrics as I can’t make it all out. Right now ai think it’s ok but after hearing how amazing it was, I was a little disappointed when I heard it as I think the lyrics let it down a bit.

Now seen lyric video and the lyrics definitely let it down imho. They scan really badly to not at all in some places (the video itself makes it difficult to read them at times) and are so US centred that the rest of the world may not get some of them, also some of the things are pretty unimportant.

My major complaint is that somehow, Covid went unmentioned. Seems awful important :thinking:

I thought it was quite good, sound wise I think they got it right, I can understand people’s gripes with the lyrics though
