Sucky?

Eh. Sounds an awful lot like Kelly Clarkson singing a Dr. Luke hook. Not nearly as disastrous as I was expecting, but also can't really bring myself to care about it. It's such a meaningless exercise in sounding edgy three years ago. Any thoughts?

(Meanwhile at Offnotesnotes I'm still complaining about the stupid narratives that the cultcha commentaters have spun about "My December" from most viewpoints, since "third album departure" really does a disservice to what she's been doing since Breakaway, which is the one that everyone claims is so accessible. I refuse to believe that these people have listened to the second half of that album! (Even "Behind These Hazel Eyes" or "Because of You"...it's just not the lightest stuff out there.)

Agreed on the stupid narrative around My December; I still can't believe everyone apparently failed to hear the huge hooks on that album. Not sure what I think of this, glad there are none of the feared Perryisms but I've heard the verses on about 50 songs already and the chorus is somehow both too much and too little. But it might grow on me.

Listening back to 'Never Again' and 'Hole'...these songs are so much tighter and more focused than 'My Life Would Suck...'
