Haven't liked much of theirs for ages.
But this song has to be up there with the best they've ever done.
A real return to form- stunning track.

Never heard Ashs' stuff before but i took ONE listen to this and loved it.

It had 93 plays in a week and reached number 4 on my iTunes within 24 hours. The shame

I totally agree - been a big Ash fan since the start and think this is by far and away the best song they've released since the Free All Angels era. Loved it from first listen.

And yet it limped into the charts at 32 and has split opinion on the Ash fan forum right down the middle, between people who think it's a brilliant return to form, and people who think it's boring and bad choice of single.

The album's brilliant too. If you like Polaris you'll LOVE the title track Twilight of the Innocents.

Good song. Saw a clip on BBC4 yesterday of them performing on Later with Jools Holland in about 1995/6 and it struck me how much Tim Wheeler's voice appears to have weakened over the years. He was never a great singer to begin with, but he sounds especially weedy on the new stuff. Great songwriter, great frontman but I can't help thingking Ash could have been a much bigger band if only they had a better singer.
