Tim: Remember Jimi Constantine? If you don’t, go back here and wonder how on earth you forgot him. Anyway, he’s written this and and Robin’s picked it up, with a heftier sound that is entirely appropriate when young artists put out their third album.
Tom: Well, that’s properly good and loud.
Tim: I’m gonna be honest: I have very mixed feelings about this song. Title translates roughly as “The Night Belongs To Us” and yeah, I get that vibe from it. Thing is, I have very, very mixed feelings about this. The chorus is great – raucous, well sung and with exactly the right amount of attitude. The pre-chorus, also showing up intermittently between the rap bits? Also good. BUT, those rap bits. Well, they’re rap bits, and we know how I generally feel about those in songs.
Tom: It’s also “Walk This Way”. Seriously. Listen to that middle eight: the guitar riffs, the drums, the cadence of the lyrics. It’s not close enough to be actionable, I’ll bet, but that sounds really rather familiar.
Tim: WE’VE RUN OUT OF MUSIC, TOM. And on the other hand, I was able to keep myself from switching it off, because of the knowledge that the chorus would be returning, so I’m guessing that gives an overall positive view. Basically, the chorus is better than the crap is bad, so it’ll do.
