After a couple days, here’s what I make of The River
-has a pushing, driving feel to it (very reminiscent of The Turning Alt version) that works well for it -sounds more modern and structurally interesting than Shockwave -sone nice lines in the lyrics but some do feel a little forced -video was a neat little ad for Manchester. Sure it would have been nice to see Liam walking about but I’m happy for the guy who got to do it instead
I like it more than Shockwave, which was just okay. If SW was a 6.5-6.7, id give this one a 7 but no more.
(I actually really like Chinatown! This one’s on par, whereas WoG was far better than SW)

I love shockwave and I still can’t decide if I love the river yet... it’s great but then I sometimes am thinking is it great...I can’t decide but once the album is out I think it will flow well

thats strange mate when i pre-ordered both songs were available withins minutes of me completing my order So if I understand you correctly, the main difference is that Lennon2217 and me ordered the box weeks ago before we even knew about 'The River' and Warner basically "forgot us" and you ordered last week and they could unlock both songs at the same time.

Keep expecting Liam to sing "So put yer money in yer mouth and yer hands right upon the wheel" Holy shit. I always thought the lyrics were “....and your mama thought the tunes were real”. 'your mama says that you was real' is the line in the first verse, so youre closer than you think...

Same here. I pre-ordered the box set (collector edition) when it was announced and received a mp3 of Shockwave, but not The River. I sent Liam's official store a form to tell them about it yesterday, so hopefully they'll send me The River today. Good people from Warner, I know you're lurking this forum. Please sort it out for us as soon as possible. Thank you.

I had the same issue and contacted the store also. They emailed me a download link the next day. What email address did you contact? I used the contact link on the web page.

Just heard it for the first time. The sound is alright but it doesn't really go anywhere.

I like it more each day. It sounds like 00's Oasis, in a very very good way. A bit of DOYS and SOTSOG with a 2019 twist.

I like it 'cause it's a bit different. I don't know how good a song it is, though. It might be that in a year or so we're all bored of it and it barely gets mentioned anymore. Certainly it's a weird choice for a single(/promotional track). Chinatown felt like a misstep and that ended up having just about the biggest hook of any of the As You Were tunes.
I'd score it somewhere around the 6.5-7 mark for now. But I like it more than that sounds like I do. I think it'll make more sense in the context of what's around it. (Having said that, it doesn't sound like a penultimate track, does it? Ah fuck, let's just wait to see what we get next).

I was searching the lyrics on internet and found the following:
"Lick your lips like a prize-fighter, surely you can take a punch"
I've listened to the song a thousand times and I still can't understand "surely", but "show me" instead.
Someone's native can help with?
