A poll I wanted to make for ages - I’m just tired these days fam. Plus, my life is so close to being back on track which feels so good - so I’m busy doing life again.
Anyway, I’m going with Everything’s Electric. What an absolute belter - and Liam smashing it.
My ranking:
1. Everything’s Electric 2. Shockwave 3. Wall of Glass

WOG started it all for me so that is number one - I love Shockwave almost as much so that is number two. Can't say I really feel anything for EE, it's just there but I don't have the urge to listen to it after it is over with while I played and continue to play the crap out of the former two. Glad it got Liam a high chart showing FWIW

Hard one for me as I love all three songs. But I would probably go with Wall Of Glass just because it was Liam's great comeback song.

Definitely Wall of Glass for me. Shockwave is bland and forgettable and Everything's Electric is catchy and has a great verse but a boring chorus. Wall of Glass is catchy, rocky, a little dirty in the sound, well produced. I still love that song nearly 5 years later.

1) Everything's Electric 2) Wall Of Glass 3) Shockwave
Even live in my opinion the songs perform well in this order (if Liam is in vocal form).

Wall Of Glass by some distance.
Then EE and Shockwave way behind in 3rd.

I've been struggling to work out why i haven't connected as much with this song as the other lead singles. I was not a big fan of Shockwave at all when it was released because i felt it was too much like what they thought us as fans would lap up as Liam fans and not in a good way. I found it quite a patronizing take on what we'd be fans of. But as time went on i appreciated its swagger and i think it does a job.
Wall Of Glass on the other hand is just superb in every way, bar maybe the solo at the end and repeat of the chorus which doesn't add a lot to the overall structure of the song. All in all though as a comeback single it couldn't really have gone much better than it did so its hard to complain about it.
Everthing's Electric kind of proved me right in all the wrong ways. I've done a few posts saying i think the last album was a good album but i fear it'll make Liam and even his team become more and more complacent in Liam's involvement in songs. EE basically confirms them fears for me. This is not a bad song. In fact its a good song. It just isn't a Liam song. Yes, Wall Of Glass and Shockwave aren't either but at least they sound like him and i can even believe he's had involvement. Even if he hasn't. And there is the point - if you're going to write Liam a song then make it believable enough that he has had input enough for him to give it its own stamp. I really do fear that the album is going to be 13 songs masqueraded as "out there" just because they don't sound anything like they've even written for Liam. Not to mention i feel like his vocals are way too rushed and that's a criticism I've got of a lot of the production on the last album.

Shockwave was really disappointing, bemused by those who said ‘better than Wall of Glass’.
But the other two are stellar. But at the moment, it’s Everythings Electric for me. It’s still got legs after a good few weeks. Such a fantastic single, the tune is a great vehicle for Liam’s voice, those vocals just cut through ice when it comes on the radio.

I initially loved EE but that soon goes, it's quite an empty song after a few weeks even though I still like it. Never had that feeling with WOG.

Not to mention i feel like his vocals are way too rushed and that's a criticism I've got of a lot of the production on the last album. I think I get what you're saying and I agree. The chorus on EE is bland partly because of how the vocals were mixed. That's something that annoyed me on WMWN as well. He loses his rawness on these recordings, which strangely enough, was something he was happy of getting back with BE. If his band has to tune their instrument down half a step or a full step, like they do live, then so be it but let Liam sing FFS. The problem is the same with the songs themselves. Wall of Glass had some rawness, some dirtyness. Shockwave and EE don't. They want to, but they don't. That's what I expect from Liam, so "out and out rock 'n' roll songs". After WOG it's like they're trying to write rock songs but they can't quite get there. It's missing a certain... feel? Oomph? It's really hard to explain. DGSS had the same problem bar Four Letter Word. The chorus for EE reminds me of Keep The Dream Alive which I absolutely hate because of how dull, overproduced and boring it is and how Liam sounds on it especially on the chorus.
