Comparison: The Big Pink “Stay Gold” and their previous works.

… don’t want to sound like a music snob, but these guys could do so much better. …

Good examples of their potential? Check out “An Intro to Awareness,” “Too Young to Love,” “A Brief History of Love” and “Stop the World.” <— some very creative sounds.

“Stay Gold” is catchy, it satisfies our immediate cravings for something upbeat, but I have a feeling we’ll all be over it very quickly. Not very memorable. Night and day next to the examples above.
