Can't wait to hear the studio version, their debut album was really good.

I liked Hold On a lot. Wonder what they got in store this time.

I hope their second album performs reasonably well commercially. Their last album was quite enjoyable.

I really like this. There's an evolution while staying true to their signature sound. Well done.

I don't like it nearly as much as "Hold On," but it's a good song.

never got into their older stuff, but after a few listens, I love this. I'll probably go back to see if my old opinions were wrong soon.

I heard it today via their AllAccess e-blast. I'd call it a caricature - Alabama Shakes trying to be "Alabama Shakes." There's no song here. The production's cynically (I think) designed to be all rough, but not rough, while the art/imaging jumps the shark trying to tell us how "Alabama" the band is. She sticks all these sloppy "p" sounds into the mic, the hi-hat's got some goofy mic job on it, and so forth. I got to 2:15 or so in the track and had to turn it off. Sorry, labels, but content's still king. Prediction: 80% of AAA stations jump on it, then half drop it in three weeks.

This is pretty decent. The chorus is what saves this from being mediocre. Curious to see what the rest of their new material sounds like.

I never understood the hype for this band. I thought "Hold On" and "I Ain't the Same" from their last album was quite boring, and this does nothing for me too.
Then again, I never really did get into many bands that are considered "critics' darlings".

Couldn't of said it better myself. Not my cup of java, but Triple A seems to beleive they have struck gold with this cut.

I thought "Hold On" was just ok but couldn't stand anything else by them ... til now. This song this seems to have a wider appeal.

Based on the clip, this is borderline bad and I LOVE them. Hold On, Rise To The Sun and especially the tearjerker I Found You from their debut were pure gold. I don't know what they are trying to do with this song but it doesn't do anything for me. I will have to listen to it in full but I am disappointed thus far.

I actually really like this. It's funky and sounds quite unique. I was a fan of their first album too.

I get Arctic Monkeys-vibed from this song, which is good in my books! I was a fan of "Hold On," but their debut as a whole never did much for me. I'll be rooting for them this time around for sure, though.
