The lyrics in the first verse are actually pretty good. All in all, they are about as good as they should be when compared to similar songs (Rapunzel, WWYS, Shake Me, Too Much).

I think it's a good tune. This is the way I see parts of AFTW right now, compared to BWGGK

1) Gaucho is this album's Squirm. Both are very good, Squirm is probably better, but Squirm was probably the best of BW. That's not the case for this album.

2) If Only is this album's Spaceman, only much catchier and a better tune.

3) BBN is this album's Shake Me, but better (Shake Me still stinks live)

4) The Riff is awesome. Only issue is that it's more of a straight-up rock song

5) Mercy is great, both studio and live, though live it desperately needs a solo during the outro (Rashawn, Boyd, or both)

6) Sweet is okay. More of a Dave solo song that I wish was saved for that kind of record and never made full band.

Excited for how Lillywhite pieces it all together. Gaucho and Mercy are already very good studio tracks.
