The guitar work is interesting and even fun, but the haunted-house vocal undermines, for me, the energy of the song.<br /><br />IMHO, the best power pop is passionate. This is the opposite of that.<br /><br />Still, I like the tune. Just don't love it.DBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-50091900426054997412011-09-01T21:46:01.364-04:002011-09-01T21:46:01.364-04:00I had this album for a day before I returned it. ...I had this album for a day before I returned it.

I'll have to see what the non-album b-side sounds like. As for the A side, it's sort of a nice try, but no cigar.edwardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-79923732700235117672011-08-31T11:36:07.998-04:002011-08-31T11:36:07.998-04:00I dunno -- to my ears its got a certain je ne sais...I dunno -- to my ears its got a certain je ne sais quoi that truly says I don't know what.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-4136084902577574812011-08-31T09:51:44.539-04:002011-08-31T09:51:44.539-04:00Sorry, if I didn't know it was Dave Davies, I ...Sorry, if I didn't know it was Dave Davies, I would dismiss it as an utterly forgettable piece of 80s guitar-pop.Gummohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947040598570967596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-25966114805228369782011-08-31T08:50:08.000-04:002011-08-31T08:50:08.000-04:00The fadeout gives me chills in a good way.
