Most likely the first single since 'Forever' will be released next month
'Love Lounge'. I haven't decided yet if this is a really dumb or really cool title.
Anyway, let the speculation begin!!!!

Having listened to it a few times now, I will just copy and paste what I wrote on Facebook about it. It's not a shining review, so don't read on if you're phobic of less-than-favourable reviews:

My friend of 20 years, whom I've never met, Bob Givnin, told me that he had mixed feelings about this first single from the original line-up of Live in 12 years. I'm not as willing to accept it. It's not bad, but it's certainly not the one to open the revival of the band with. There's nothing special about this track. It's accessible, but not at all edgy or pushing any boundaries. Over all.....4/10. Do better. Its only redeeming quality is that it's not a soft bumfuck like the stuff from Songs From Black Mountain. So, there's some hope that other babies born of this set of parents might have some promise. But, it's very misguided. The "Shoot that! Fear!" part during what OUGHT to be an instrumental section is a major sore thumb.

Final note: The overall mix in the video seems particularly muddy and unfinished. Hopefully this is corrected for any official release. If this was cleaned up a bit in production it could save the song.
