I rate it as an 8, but only after repeated listens throughout the day. I actually just finished buying it on Amazon, which was just after adding it to my Spotify playlist.

I wasn't won over after the first listen. The verses plod and need more work and the song draws from so much of their past work from YGLABN to HAND, as well as "This Is Love...". Where it is essentially HAND re-visited, it has what HAND does not... an awesome hook. Plenty of us are going to be belting out "I set each stone and I hammed each nail!" in our cars as we drive over the the last few weeks.

For first singles, which generally haven't done much to get me excited for a new album, it's probably my favorite in well over a decade.
