i love his voice....always have....but for the most part have always disliked Pet Shop Boys.....still out of all of their songs this is one of their best

8/10

I was waiting for a good chorus to come in, but it never did. Not sure if I just didn't 'get' it, but it didn't jump out at me.

Manic Street Preachers are very hit or miss with me and that song is kind of somewhere in between. I feel like I should like it but it just doesn't quite do it for me. 6/10

7/10 I enjoyed that! Spacey

That was okay, not impressive enough to make me go and check out their albums. Cool Fleet Foxes style melodies/instrumentation. 6/10

9/10 love it. Really liked the way he sampled and this laid back style even though I'm not normally a hip-hop/rap listener.

As a song it's awful, 2/10. But as a comedic piece, it's sidesplitting and 10/10.
I can't tell which one it's trying to be though, so I'll keep it at a steady 7/10.

Nine minutes long, but it's definitely among Sharrock's best work:

8/10 loved it, loved the sax especially.

I'm very torn on them - while I find myself enjoying the vids of them you've posted they just don't really grab me. They are obviously awesome at what they do, I just don't think what they do is quite my cup of tea. 7.9/10

For entertainment value that's an 8/10, but just taking the song itself, I'd probably give it a 6.5/10. Solid vocals and I really liked the bass effect that he added in.

Well I first listened to it, I left it on while I had another screen open and liked the Sunn O)))-ness of it. But then I watched that amazing video upon my return to this page, and it raised my enjoyment all the more. 9/10
