Love it. I've been of fan of his since "Flaws"/"Icarus" came out in summer 2011. "Overjoyed" and especially "Bad Blood" are also fantastic. This one is what fun. would sound like if they weren't shit.
As far as it being huge, it's been a while since there was this much hype for a single this far in advance of its release in the UK. It comes out on 25th February and I'm already seeing posters advertising just the single everywhere.

"Overjoyed" is where my love for him lies.
I don't know how I feel about "Pompeii." Where's he trying to go wit it? I can see the fun. (eeek) comparison. I also get an All American Rejects vibe in the pre-chorus... so 2006. Then of course I also hear 80's new wave (which is I'm going to say this has no shot in the US outside of Alternative).
I'm surprised there's so much hype for this in the UK. In addition to the fact that there's been little hype for guitar music in the last five years, this sounds like something that came out.... well five to eight years ago.

I am a huge Bastille fan. I think everything he does is brilliant. His cover of 'Of The Night' is one of my favorite things in the world. I love this. I would love for this to be colossal. I would love for them to be colossal. So good. This one is what fun. would sound like if they weren't s**t. lmao

this actually reminds me more of what the Killers' would have done if they had went full on electro, instead of imitating Springsteen on their latest effort. ANYways, i need a HQ rip of this. i've already played the terrible LQ youtube rip 70+ times

Every time I see this on the New Posts page, I think it's a brand-new thread announcing its US release before I actually click and read the new post. :'(

My friend in London recommended this band to me. I can't get enough of them!
This mash-up/cover of "Sweet Nothing" and "Pompeii" slays me!
