Critical

The song made Rolling Stone's April 2007 list of the Editor's Favorite Albums, Singles and Videos, with the comment "This punky British threesome goes batshit with 'Train Kept A-Rollin''' fuzz guitar and a relentless groove: It all sounds like the soundtrack to a really fun knife fight." [1]
