It's wrong to compare, but what first attracted me to this band was a rock rush, the crash of a song, in an unashamedly indie way.
This single teases you, it's then you realise that Miss Black America can turn themselves to work in so many different ways, and now choose to unleash their rawk.
Admittedly it doesn't smack you in the face as their previous records, but the stone roses groove bass leads into disjointed guitars, which keeps the bands pop-sensibility's.

MBA’s Drowning By Numbers, at once loud enough and treble-y enough to allow the song to rock out without needing to swamp the tune in distortion, winds itself round a spiralling, helter-skelter guitar line which is very nice inDEED.
The chorus is of the rebound-around-your-head-for-days variety, the kind that you embarrass yourself with by humming it absentmindedly in public(yeah you do - we’ve all done it).
