Wait, which D&D expansion pack is this?

Brad Shoup: Two-part question: do you like Paramore, but wish Hayley Williams sang less about real shit and more about faded empire? For me, the answers are “no” and “surprisingly, yes.” I dunno, something about ending your chorus with “we ran to Avalon” unties a lot of knots. It’s a big murky mess, with dumb chug during Kusterbeck’s refrains; I can practically hear my windshield wipers flapping along. Go get that Game of Thrones money, Professor.

Iain Mew: The long shadow of “Written in the Stars” continues. I like this attempt a little better than “Read All About It” because Professor Green makes more interesting lines out readymade epic imagery than his own life, and because Sierra Kusterbeck being a weaker singer means the choruses stick out a little less, but it’s still a stale format.

Patrick St. Michel: Someone call the Vans’ Warped Tour, we got one of the token rap acts right here.

Anthony Easton: Sierra’s verse here is so languid that it must be an artistic choice, and I am damned to tell if it is one that improves or destroys Professor Green’s angular verses.

Will Adams: Professor Green moping and Sierra Kusterbeck braying, all atop an instrumental that sounds like an Evanescence demo: This is about as appealing as a warm energy drink. Hey, wait a sec…

Jonathan Bradley: Constipated yaps don’t turn into rapping merely by virtue of a backbeat. White boys haven’t sounded this bad on the mic since the days of Morris Minor and the Majors — and at least they had “comedy” on their side.
