Can't really go wrong with that song...it's kind of lame now though, even if it is summery and happy. 7/10

Pharmacology the song????!!! OMG, YES!!!! Found it. I adore that song, it's absolutely incredible. And, yes, he absolutely does, doesn't he?! This song is definitely going to appear in this thread at some point, I think - it's far to good not to make you want to jump at people at say "Listen to this, it's awesome!".

Now I really want to see them live - I just hope that I get to find out if they come near my way!

Reminded me of a heavier version of Arrah and the Ferns. I liked it, but not terribly. 6/10

^ 4/10, not really my thing. Not a fan of that girl's voice at all too.

Crap - reviewed the wrong song!

Something about the voice levels being really low in the mix with repetitive instrumentals really didn't sit right with me (for the first 1:26 or so of the song.) When it starts to pick up, though, it becomes more interesting, but just repetitive in a different way for about 40 seconds. At about 3:30 in the song, I start to dig the sound of it more. (Probably because I can hear the vocals better, at least partially) It's not a bad song, but melodically it is kind of repetitive. 6/10

Edit: Crap too late.

I know that Minutemen is pretty much loved by music fans all over, but I've never listened to them before. I didn't really like this song, the instrumentation was repetitive and I didn't really understand the vocal style, it just didn't work for me. 3/10

I got this album recently and it still hasn't clicked, this songs feels the sdame way at the moment. Pleasant but mediocre.
5/10

Minutemen are one of the few admired Punk band that I do NOT get. I can appreciate the basslines, and Political Song For Micheal Jackson To Sing and Corona are pleasant songs. But everything on the album feels likean intro, like it could've gone much further and been a great song but the way it is it's merely decent.
6/10
