I love it, it's a nice combination of guitars and electronic sounds. However I hope the future album will have lots of different styles so it doesn't all sound the same.



I agree, the last albums proved that the first single does not have to be the most outstanding track of an album...

though this one is just great with all this steaming straight
forward energy...

I am a big fan of the new song ! Love the production and the energy. It reminds me of something from Balls.


I keep thinking that it is the Bullet Train of the new album.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's an excellent track. Russell's production is top notch.
I'd just love them to have another crack at something really commercial!!!! Because, I know they can do it.

The whole MAD! & angry face logo, to me, is obviously Sparks giving their feelings towards the new Trump government. In the past they've made their position quite clear as to who they consider a mad man. l totally agree with that statement completely by the way.
The timing of this single release, as well as showing the upcoming new album artwork two weeks after Trump became president, hasn't gone unnoticed. I'm sure they're not the only ones who must be devastated with the election results & must be concerned with the direction the USA is now heading in. Even just after 2 weeks Trump has managed to show more of his true racist & phobic self while dividing & blaming the population with his hate & lies.
As for the single it's an interesting album prerelease. I think with a few more plays it'll be a grower. Blending familiar synths, classic rock guitar & the standard repetition of lyrics, should please many Sparks fans.


It would have been written and recorded well before the election. They're not going to go all political now especially when most of the states they play in voted Republican


I see your point Dinky. My comment was just my look at things. I hope my words can be taken as just that & in my opinion only.

Re the new clip that's just gone up on FB....we're getting lots of bits and pieces now which is great for a sad person like me who can't make it to any concerts and is counting the days until the album release!
