Pretty weak. :( Lyrics aren't that interesting, and musically it sounds like an outtake from one of the last few boring Erasure albums. I know this album is supposed to be slower than the last, but I was thinking more like "King's Cross"/"Jealousy"/"I Made My Excuses and Left"...
First PSB singles tend to be a tricky thing. Most often it's not the strongest song, but the one that covers new territory for them (ie "Love Etc" "Before" "Home & Dry"). I tend to agree with the line of thought that this was a label choice timed for the London games, so I hope perhaps there are better gems on the album. That said, I do like this quite a bit.
