What I find so interesting about the song Drunken Soldier is that it both represents the modern sound of the band now and features some of the classic DMB nuances of old. I think it's completely unfair to expect the band to produce the same types of songs we fell in love with 20 years ago, but I also see some validity in major fans' disappointment with everything from Stand Up and beyond. Drunken Soldier somehow solves this issue. When I discovered that Lillywhite had something to do with it, it made more sense.
