I was waiting on a big build to the chorus, give my hooks hooks hooks

Film score is great

I’m generally with you on BSR. I really like the first album and I think they got progressively worse as they went. I’m still holding out hope for the alleged 21 Guns reunion. As far as this song goes. I like it a lot more than you. But, I’m not a pop guy, so that makes sense. Though I do like a good number of Monkees songs for whatever that’s worth.

I think it's a bit better than you do. Yes it's a bit bland but I think it's the kind of chorus designed to get fans punching the air and singing along. It sounds like a Bryan Adams song and he might sell it better than Ricky Warwick does. For what it's worth, I liked your soundtrack thingy better than any other music I've heard from you. Give up the cheesy pop hooks and write something I can actually feel.

I think this 2nd BSR album may be the worst of their 5 albums. Again, I had heard all the BSR stuff before I proclaimed the band complete garbage. I even gave their 2023 album(Wrong Side Of Paradise) a listen, and man it's awful. Thank god Scott at least doesn't have his name on that one. Happy Thin Lizzy Thursday to all! Sorry you had to endure BSR mucking up your day.
