No offense taken. Honestly I think some of my musical taste has been influenced by my girlfriend, I kind of doubt I would have as much of an interest in Rascal Flatts, Lifehouse, Keith Urban, and quite a few other things if it weren't for her. Haha.

This song didn't do a lot for me personally, no offense intended a musical preference cannot really be insulted but just in case! I just dislike the vocalists shouting style and feel the song lacks a certain subtlety, it seemed for me to be loud drums, chasing loud guitar, whilst being shouted at.

My first thought was that this song was rather boring but I also get the impression that it's the kind of song that would grow on you the more you listen to it. I definitely liked it better further into the song.

Eh, Dirty Pretty Things/The Libertines are both alright bands, and this song was just alright, 6/10

I really liked the beat, but I found the rapping to be really mediocre. I also didn't really like the way they mixed the vocals, or the effect they had on them. It really took away from the song in my opinion. It was still pretty cool though. 7/10

Kinda reminds me of John Vanderslice a bit. Slightly catchy and not all that bad. I'd give it a 7/10 and maybe after another listen move it up accordingly.

I like long songs, but I might have liked this one better if it were shorter just because its not a very comfortable genre for me. On the whole, I ended up liking it by the time I was about a 3rd of the way in. 7.5/10.
