Fine. Just don't hurt her.

Keets!
OK, enough with the off-color jokes.
I've heard the new songs several times now. I - Mr. No Download - downloaded them.
Neither song blew me away. They're OK. The melodies are catchy. Both are pretty slow. Sort of in a WBN vein. RGLB especially. It has a "How Many Friends" feel to it.
ORW has an up-tempo, rockin' coda, as Jon pointed out. I like that part a lot.
Daltrey does a decent job. Voice sounds a little strained at times.Mature. Weathered. Some nice phrasing. Very passionate.
The bass is nonexistent. I can't even hear bass notes. And this is through
my big MTX 800-watt stereo speakers. Fucking OX - dying like that.
I think RGLB is the better of the two songs. I could even see it getting some radio play. It's catchy in a slow, melancholy way.
Obviously, I'm not too pleased with all the God-talk towards the end of RGLB. It's like a George W. speech. Pete's unneeded crutch shines again. <sigh> Poor, weak man.
Like I said, RGLB is catchy. Sounds like FM radio fare to me. I could easily see that one making some sort of dent.
