So, yes, it wasn't exactly a straightforward thing for me to get into either.

Some combination of the guitar sound (which sounds like my guitar when I can't be arsed tuning it properly through a clean amp), the guy's voice and the riffs remind me overwhelmingly of high school bands about 15 years ago. There's some nice touches in between riffs, and I liked the final minute of Gravity (probably because they hit the distortion pedal pleasingly) but struggled otherwise. So I liked Georgie when I didn't think I would, and dislike this when I thought I might. My hemispheres are in turmoil. So, I really don’t get this.
