To me, it's an instant classic. Genius's work of a master. Well, I really dig this kind of music!
4.5/5

4.5/5 for me too.
I was JUST about to make a poll on this too haha.
Based on the opinion thread, there seems to be 2 camps setting up - "Average" (6.5/10 to 7/10, or 3/5) or "Great" (8/10+).
I don't know how split the 2 camps are - might be 50/50.
But I truly feel this is an Oasis great. Just stops short of a classic. I dig the James Bond melody halfway through inbetween the choruses, but would rather have a kickass guitar solo there instead. Don't get me wrong, how it is now works just fine, but I think that slight alteration would have knocked this up to "Epic" territory.
So instead of being classed with Live Forever and Slide Away, it's in a league ever so slightly lower with the likes of Gas Panic, WDIAGW, etc. But quite possibly edges its way into the top 30 Oasis songs.
Great lyrics - don't know why some people think they're poor?, chilling melody, fantastic vocals, great sound. How can this NOT be at least a 4/5!?

How can you have a "4.5" option but not a "3.5," "2.5," etc...?
personally, I give it a 4 out of 5 (8/10)

I gave it 3 because I'm not sure yet.
Some songs grow on me though. For example the first time I heard The Importance.... I said to myself "What the fuck is this shit...." After a while I obviously loved the song.. I'm hoping that the same happens with this!

4.5. completely different to anything they've done before. The james bond bit is great its so different than what the band usually does. the bass and drum work is top notch and Noel's lyrics and vocals are strong as ever. Great Tune

i'm sure it'll grow on me, but as of right now, it's right down the middle. 3 for me.

4/5. I like it but it's certainly not an Oasis song which I would introduce Oasis to anyone with.
