I wanted to hate it, but then at :31 seconds in, Allyyy said "

mill83 (September 21, 2012)

Sweet comment, me. Thanks for silencing my creative voice, Punknews!

Why would Ally call herself less than 3? Don't you think she's being a little hard on herself?

mill83 (September 21, 2012)

True. But Allyyy does what Alllyyy wants, you know that.

I guess, speaking literally, she is less than 3 people?

rtfat (September 21, 2012)

I don't know whats worse. This song or the dancing in the Frank Turner Conan video.

mill83 (September 21, 2012)

I know which one is worse.

xherojuanax (September 21, 2012)

Quite the directional shift. I like the song, but it makes sense now that they're going to tour with The Killers.

domotime3 (September 21, 2012)

7/10. Definitely had moments.

nickvicious (September 21, 2012)

I concur.

sketchyjoe (September 21, 2012)

Do they have leads now?

armsanddanger (September 21, 2012)

into it. can't wait for the rest of the record.

nickvicious (September 21, 2012)

Looks like they're taking the electronic stuff they did in Sainthood and running with it. Hope they still offer a couple of acoustic tracks on the new album because let's be honest: those are the best.

coffee_bandit (September 21, 2012)

Agreed, I'm really starting to miss that. But still a solid pop track.

danwazz (September 21, 2012)

Another solid pop song from Tegan and Sarah.

ReelBigMike (September 21, 2012)

I liked the last two T&S albums (didn't like any of the albums before those), but for an indie-pop band, this seems way too much on the poppy side. Not bad enough to keep me from checking out the album though, the song still had its moments.

mikexdude (September 21, 2012)

Love it.

Thumbs (September 21, 2012)

Different, but I like it. Stoked for the whole record, though I won't be blasting it at intersections with my windows down. Had an odd experience while listening to "The Con" before in that scenario...

MisterCarnivore (September 22, 2012)

Please explain this.

Slagathor (September 21, 2012)

I actually quite like Tegan and Sara. That being said, what are they doing on a punk blog? I know a lot of bands on here aren't strictly punk but most are related at least in some way. This band is pretty much straightforward pop/rock.

pwnther (September 21, 2012)

Dude, I've seen Third Eye Blind, Selputura and Nicky Manaj on this site. Also, Tegan was in an Against Me! video. That's pretty punk.

encorp (September 22, 2012)

And their collaboration with Alkaline Trio.. and well if that don't make ya punk... fuck if I know what does!

SuperRad (September 23, 2012)

I think I like it. Didn't really get into their last.
