Tim: Will we find it less repetitive than Elektrisk?
Tim: A bit, yes.
Tom: Only a bit.
Tim: Towards the end it still goes on a bit. Doesn’t help that I’m not entirely certain what a Party Crusher might be, but still. The verses are okay, and there’s a decent tune there. The only problem is that there’s no YEAH moment, and yet I feel this song is crying out for one – whether it be a key change, a sudden return from a quieter middle eight, or even just a loud noise somewhere.
Tom: “Formulaic” can mean good or ill; if the formula’s really good, then there’s nothing wrong with pushing out a track that follows it – heaven knows there are plenty of cracking songs that have little originality to them. But this is just a by-the-numbers album track, and my word if she says ‘party crusher’ one more time…
Tim: Basically, it’s a nice enough song – background of a party, album track, whatever – but a bit uninspiring.
