Maxïmo Park - Girls Who Play Guitars

The first track on the new album from Maxïmo Park, and it's stunning. It starts out with a low buzzing sound which reminded me of Franz Ferdinand's "The Fallen", which was also the first track on their second album. Maybe just a coincidence. Anyhoo, that's about all the two songs have in common.

I personally really enjoy this track and it complements "Our Velocity" perfectly, making an excellent start to the album.

Some choice lyrics:
"Three Hundred, and Sixty, Five Days, watching me decay"
"It's her life and a life is worth living (it's her life)
it never struck her just to pause for one minute (it's her life)"

As you can tell, I'm getting really lazy with this review writing, but whatever. Maybe I'll start actually writing something worth reading later in the year. Miracles happen. Just enjoy the music.
