I quite like this song , maybe not so melodic but at least Jaz is singing and not shouty as he was on Hosannas .

I loved Pylon, and agree that this could have come from those sessions

This is going to sound awesome live!

Yes I much prefer it when he sings because he's got a very distinctive voice. I like the Night time /Brighter than a thousand a suns era so I'd be happy with that kind of sound. Pylon was brilliant though so if it sounds like that it will be great.

My thoughts exactly. I'm also a big fan of Outside The Gate. I hate it when KJ just dumb it down. So much melodic talent in the band.

Yes I really like Outside the gate as well but I think a lot of KJ fans aren't so keen!

I like Outside the Gate as well. I like my KJ albums to be a mixture of loud shouty plus more subtle songs. Revisited Nightime recently. I like Kings and Queens- such a great guitar riff that keeps on popping up. Strangely danceable.

I think that new track uses a similar chord sequence to Kings & Queens in the chorus. To be fair it is trademarked to Killing Joke!
