I can't get this song out of my head! Critics have said we're seeing the new stuff through rose-tinted glasses (no pun intended) but this song overrides a lot of their old stuff for me (granted not most of the first album proper, but a lot of the B-sides and later singles, all of which I've treasured for over 25+ years).
I think it's an amazing song
I tried to listen to The Second Coming last night (managed about a third) - which I've always regarded as half a great album. This song makes it sound so dated! If only John had been less full of coke, the band more united, and the production anywhere near this!
It
completely bridges the gap between the first album, the subsequent couple of singles, and then the second album for me, I'm over the moon
