When I first heard the single I was a little taken back. While its overtly hard sounding I couldn’t get around the slow, almost dullness to the chops. Take a few weeks, a few dozen listens and it starts making sense. While it’s still not the better than, nor as easy a choice for a first single, “3s & 7s” “Sick Sick Sick” wears on you and has a great riff that digs it out of the murky tone. If nothing else it out-shocks Marilyn Manson’s latest video, so…they’ve got that going for them.
